  Joelle W. asked:

  I have a couple of questions: 1) I am looking for a good, experienced with bully breeds vet for my American Bully puppy. I have gone to 2 different vets so far but I do not really like either one of them (It is almost like they are not comfortable with Loki) so I am looking for a good vet. Who would you recommend? Are they competents & affordable? I live in La Vista. 2) Question about harnesses: so far 2 different people (one vet & one vet tech & they do not know each other) have told me to not use a harness on Loki because when a harness is used on a bully, it makes them pull even more (almost like sleigh dogs) & because he will be a pretty good size boy (they estimate him to get around 75 lbs when full grown) they recommend a "spiked" collar to better control him. What is your take on that? I really do not like spiked collars! Thank you for your help! :)

  No matter how good a trainer you are, you really need to take your puppy to a class for socialization and the latest training techniques. At the Nebraska Humane Society, we have bully breeds in our classes frequently. NO prong collar! Stacy is right. An EZ Walk harness is the best bet. Cheapest place to buy them is at NHS. Most vets aren't professional dog trainers/behaviorist and may not be aware of the latest tools and techniques. Check out the training classes at nehumanesociety.org.

  Keebler the Pack Pony! Helping me haul gear today. Any one who wants a good pony I highly recommend adopting from Nebraska Humane Society in Omaha. Their horses are rehabbed and trained by a great team including Colleen Parmenter Hamer and Michelle Julian. Quiet and sensible. Other horses like Keebler available for adoption now. Contact Kristie Biodrowski!

  thedicktater asked:

  Good dog trainers in Omaha area? Getting kinda desperate here, might have to get rid our dog. I'm currently deployed and my wife is 4 months pregnant. [Dahlia](http://i.imgur.com/zTsbv.jpg)(Siberian husky/Australian shepard) has started to get worse and worse. Partially because I'm not there to take her on walks and to the dog park, but we're also scared of how she'll be around the baby. She has a habit of jumping on people and kind of plays rough. If someone could recommend a good, preferably cheap, dog trainer to help us, that'd be awesome.

  The humane society has a free behavior helpline (402)444-7800. You can talk to the behaviorists there, and set up either group or private lessons.
