Ocean Beach DOG

Well, here it is: The new and "improved" 2020 GGNRA Superintendent's Compendium. Ocean Beach seems to be the same as it was following the "emergency closure" of 2006: OBDOG does not support this rule as it is arbitrary, capricious and in no way consistent with the enabling legislation and the 1979 Pet Policy.

I encourage all to become knowledgeable as to what information your best friend's vet (primary care or specialist) needs to provide you before you can consent t...o care. This legal requirement is termed "informed consent". Informed Consent provides protections for both you and your doggie that, quite frankly, some vets would prefer you didn't know about. See more

Of course, this is something us off-leash advocates completely understand...

Please share this with your best friends' friends.

The posted video (entitled, "Mercury Rising!") is proof positive that behavioral issues from spay/neuter can be mitigated through hormone balancing. The followi...ng composite of emails from a visitor to our website (i.e., https://HealthyAndHappyDog.com/behavioral-effects-of-neuter/) confirms that testosterone injections to her post neutered dog Mercury successfully restored his old, pre-neutered personality as well as his ability to excel at the agility course: Dear Healthy and Happy Dog, My dog Mercury developed fear and aggressive behavior soon after being neutered. He shutdown completely in agility training among other issues at home. My vet agreed to testosterone shots after I read your website about it with respect to neutering. Two weeks after first testosterone injection, Mercury has started marking again, getting excited, if you know what I mean, and is back to barking in his crate at the arrival of a show and seeing dogs. This is faster than I thought as I was reading with respect to people, it could take up to 3 weeks before any improvements are noticed. But he is small. I suppose his young age is playing a big role with it taking effect quickly too. I also am taking him off of Zoloft which was prescribed by the vet early on. Update: Since we started the Testosterone shots last March, Mercury has returned back to his pre-neuter self. He is back to running agility and he is happy and healthy!! Thanks!!!
