Tick Trick - Page 1

I can't believe it worked.

In the past, I have pulled, rotated, burned the butt of ticks  - tried all of the usual remedies that my parents taught me. 

I saw a tick removal  technique on the internet and when I found one on my dog today, I tried it. 

Holy cow!  In less than 5 seconds, I had the entire live tick, head and all, walking up my hand.  There was absolutely no hassle.

You just need to take your forefinger place it firmly on the tick's butt end and use a circle motion moving the bod in a circle two or three times. 

The damn thing lets go and backs out right out all on it's own - didn't have to pull it at all - and it walks away intact - ready to squish, LOL1

Here's the video I found that I copied to remve the tick so easily.

Nice, thanks!

 

BTW, I'm curious about the top working whites -- would you know who they are? SchH3's, or FH2's, or UDX's. or TDX's -- I'm open minded about work, but I am hoping to see some top dogs.

Beats me, MVF  - I'm completely disinterested in titles, and don't believe they translate into real work at the best of times.   My dogs do their jobs well - that's all that matters to me.   I am interested in finding a herd of sheep that I can test my dogs out on, tough.  I think that would be fun. 

Isn't that the coolest thing about the ticks?  It worked so easily! 

Luvdemdogs,
It may be interesting to you and your dog thinking herding sheep is fun, probably will be for you, but not for the sheep with an untrained dog and handler, because you take that as lightly as a Dog gaining Titles i guess you are referring to SchH titles, before you pass them off with the disdain that you have, try it  first and find out how easy it is to get them Or Not, the same as you think herding sheep is, ask any Man who herds sheep in contests to see how easy it is, You find talking about things easy but doing them is a different ball game, and i am not being sarcastic just realistic

I hope to never again get so warm & cuddly with a tick.......yuck! There is a place near here called, I think, Raspberry Ridge. They take dogs & owners & 'aptitude test' them to see if they have what it takes to herd sheep. I think you only start out with a couple of sheep, but if you do well, you can sign up for a weekend seminar, with camping, campfires, or B&B & kennels on the grounds, all for a pretty penny, of course, but if you want to try your hand, or --er--paw---at sheepherding, it's probably worth it! jackie harris...oh- they have a website you can check out.....

I found a training center, but it's much to far to travel, alas.... Maybe when I retire - Or, they may have a clinic in our area - it appears they had one near here last year.  I've left an enquiring email.  I think it would be fun to find out if they have any herding instinct.
