However, propylene glycol may be toxic to cats in ways not
seen in other animals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has

HOWEVER, THE SAME CHEMICAL PROPERTIES WHICH MAKE BHA AND BHT EXCELLENT

PRESERVATIVES MAY ALSO BE IMPLICATED IN HEALTH EFFECTS. THE OXIDATIVE

COMBAT OXIDATIVE STRESS. THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT CERTAIN PERSONS MAY
HAVE DIFFICULTY METABOLIZING BHA AND BHT,
RESULTING IN HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR CHANGES.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

5, 2010 – HOUSTON, TX, April 5, 2010 – You don’t need to be a “dog-whisperer” to teach dogs to stop misbehaving. A free booklet outlines a reliable method for controlling unwanted behaviors such as biting, growling, jumping, chasing, stealing, and excessive barking.

“Training for Success: Six Simple Steps for Training the JetCareSystem Way” dedicated to educating dog owners about modern training methods that are painless and harmless. WagAndBark.com is the exclusive North American distributor of the JetCare cold spray anti-bark and training collars for dogs. Owners can use the JetCareSystem to help change a variety of unwanted behaviors – REALLY?

Unlike electro-static (“shock”) collars or chemical (“citronella”) sprays that interfere with a dog’s sense of smell, the JetCare System uses a brief sensation of cold air to disrupt unwanted behaviors.

THEY SHOULD CALL IT JET AIR! THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF UNEDUCATED PEOPLE IN THE PET INDUSTRY. THIS IS A “MONEY MAKING” DEVICE THAT MIGHT WORK ON A FEW DOGS JUST AS CITRENELLA DID. REMEMBER THOSE?

IF THESE PEOPLE WERE TRULY INTERESTED IN HELPING YOUR DOG WITH BEHAVIORS, THEY WOULD HAVE YOU CALL US!

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM DEMONSTRATE THIS ON THE DOGS WE SEE AROUND THE COUNTRY. ANY CHALLENGES FROM THE JET AIR PEOPLE?……WHILE THE DOG HAS HIS MOUTH AROUND YOUR LEG OR THE FAMILY YORKIE, PICK UP YOUR AIR HOSE AND SPRAY HIM!

NOTHING SUBSTITUES FOR PROVIDING THE 4 THINGS A DOG NEEDS. THE DOG IS BARKING FOR A REASON. KNOW THE REASON, KNOW THE SOLUTION….or go ahead and shock, spray, shake, click, air hose, throw a bean bag, throw a magazine (barkbuster…..) IT’S YOUR PET!
