  1. Wouldnt the base skills taught in SDC's AFP program be more of an important basis to have than the friendships created from going through another program at a "home dz". So what if he learns at one dz and makes another his home. The part that is important is the knowledge learned and the skills that are developed. I learned at SDC. I have also been to small dz's in other states that teach AFF. In talking to them they seem to like the things I have brought up about the AFP program just on the general outline description of the jumps. And yes these are other AFF instructors. Your way may be the way you are used to but sometimes change is needed to evolve to a higher level.
  2. not sure if this will help your pup but I think it may be worth a shot to try it. Myth - A hearty diet helps avert dog hip dysplasia. Fact To the contrary, dogs that are genetically predisposed to hip dysplasia seem to benefit from a lean diet during their first two years. In one study beginning at eight weeks of age, pups that were restricted to a 24-percent smaller ration had a 46-percent lower occurrence of hip dysplasia than pups that could eat freely. Slowing the growth rate during the early months of life, some veterinary nutritionists now believe, can lessen the severity of hip dysplasia and even prevent it. http://www.yourdoghealth.com/canine_hip_dysplasia_myths.htm http://www.yourdoghealth.com/canine_hip_dysplasia.htm
