TICK season is CRAZY this year in the states!! We just got a Golden Retrieve this spring & have had all sorts of problems, that being one. He's a 7 month old puppy, so he's still chewing on everything all the time & jumping up on people, etc. He also had a good case of explosive diarrhea once a week, often on the carpet, & he's chewed up several colored things on the carpet. Luckily we already owned a carpet cleaning machine so we were able to deal w/that stuff easily enough. Then the ticks started in!! We've been finding ticks on him daily just from our front yard while he's out in the grass on the 10 foot leash to go to the bathroom. Anyway, he seems to be having fewer . . . zero diarrhea accidents after a trip to the vet & changing his food, but we finally bought a shock/vibrate/beep collar today to try & deal w/the other many issues where he won't listen or learn to stop as far as chewing on things & jumping up on people. We've really just been using the "beeping" noise so far tonight & can tell it's making a big difference already. So, if anyone ever finds themselves in the same situation, they really do seem to work as well as I've heard from others. Now I just have to figure out what a good deal on a good brand of flea & tick medication would be . . . .
