SHOWENDS like your dog got The Puppy Wizard's
SYNDROME, Thomas. Most of HOWER regular poster's
dogs suffer from WON form of it or another or multiple
symptoms:
"Episodes appear to be triggered by stress, apprehension,
and excitement. Signs are typically first observed between
3 and 7 months of age. Animals are neurologically normal
between attacks, which appear to be a life-long event.
Affected dogs do not respond to anticholinesterases, but
slight, temporary improvement may occur following
diazepam treatment.
A greater clinical improvement is reported following
following treatment with the benzodiazepine drug
clonazepam which enhances GABA neurotransmission
[67,70]. In one trial, clonazepam (at 0.5 mg/kg tid) resulted
in almost complete remission of signs over a 2-year period
[70]. Frequency of attacks is reportedly increased in some
dogs using the antiepileptic drug carbamazepine (Tegretol)
[1]. "
You can CURE this problem by following the
INSTRUCTIONS in your FREE copy of The
Puppy Wizard's FREE WWW Wits' End Dog
Training Method Manual OR you can do as
professor of ANAL-ytic research behaviorISM
at UofWI, marshall "SCRUFF SHAKE and
SCREAM 'NO!' into ITS face for 5 seconds
and lock IT in a box for ten minutes contemplation"
dermer, and simulate masturbating your dog
for five minutes every nite at bedtime with a
moist tHOWEL.
The CHOICE is yours, Thomas. The SYMPTOMS may
become even MOORE seriHOWES and generalized
including INCONTINENCE, BLADDER STONES,
ENDOCRINE DIS-EASE, CRIPPLING, BLINDNESS
and DEATH.
Ask The Puppy Wizard if you need any additional
FREE heelp with apupriate handling and training
of your dog, or ask professor SCRUFF SHAKE
if you need additional creative advice abHOWET
masturbating your dog.
GOOD LUCK.
The Puppy Wizard. <{}; ~ ) >
