Wanted to ask what people prefer to use for flea and tick prevention. I know the topicals can be hard on some dogs skin but in this part of the country using a prevention of some sort is not optional! So since it is getting to that time of year I thought I would ask what people use with the best results and least reactions ;)<br/><br/>Katie<br/>

Been a while since I've been on here and wanted to post an update as our guys and gals are almost 6 months old and hope to hear from everybody else as well. GiGi is such an awesome dog. I must admit I think this age is tougher than the young puppy stuff because they are growing into their dog bodies but still have their puppy minds. She is completely housebroke, no accidents in well over a month and is doing great with stacking. Trying to decide whether to take her to a show the end of this…

I must admit I think this age is tougher than the young puppy stuff because they are growing into their dog bodies but still have their puppy minds. She is completely housebroke, no accidents in well over a month and is doing great with stacking. Trying to decide whether to take her to a show the end of this month or wait until next month. She has starting pulling on the leash especially when we go to the trails at the local park. By the time we get to the end she is much better once she is worn out ;) but the beginning is just torture for the both of us. But we are working on it and I know it will improve. Has anybody used or recommend the Halti style head collars? I didn't know how it would possibly effect showing etc. But she is great with my kids. Super fun and sweet and loving and I just don't know what we ever did without her!!<br/> Puppy Socializationtag:irishsetters.ning.com,2010-02-20:865021:Topic:2933062010-02-20T14:52:25.046ZLora Ericksonhttps://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/LoraErickson
<p>Good Morning All,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know our pups are now over 4 months old - but I received this and thought it was very interesting.</p>
<p>So far Kibby has shown NO fear of anything. He fights time outs on his back to calm him down when he is excessively wild - but they are coming ;) He definitely wants to be in charge.</p>

Okay could you gals that have experience showing kinda give a walk through of a typical show? I have no knowledge of dog shows whatsoever so please give me the run through as if you were teaching a kindergartner. Are the two days in a weekend the same show or different shows? Do you have to show both days? I'm sure I will have lots of other questions.
