You may be able to find Frontline at Dog & Pet Supplies - Vet Vax, Inc Pet Supply Store for dogs, cats, horses. (http://www.vetvax.com). My main reference for medical information is the American Veterinarian Medical Association site at American Veterinary Medical Association (http://www.avma.org) For questions how much to feed and weight, I often send people to Page Not Found | Purina.com (http://www.purina.com/dogs/nutrition.asp?article=292)

When it comes to training, one of the best places to start is https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/information-articles-our-dogs-expert-labman-53153.html For issues of leadership try Establishing and Keeping Alpha Position (http://www.dogbreedinfo.com./topdogrules.htm) I think they have some other good information too. There is a wealth of material on many subjects at American Kennel Club - akc.org (http://www.akc.org).

You need to be very careful about websites about dogs. Much of the advice you find varies from useless to weak, to outright dangerous. I have seen links here to advice that could injure a dog. There are tested, proven, modern methods, but the best of the 50's is alive and well. Add modern junk science, and you need to be very careful of any website. Most of the websites are paid for by somebody selling something. Even if it seems to be some non profit, it could be funded by anybody. If somebody here suggests a website, you need to look at both how much they know about dogs and the web site itself. There are more people that know how to find information on the net than are capable of evaluating it.

You might be better off with a good book. Of course books are only slightly less likely to be filled with nonsense than websites. I do have a list of books prepared by the trained, experienced professionals at a dog guide school. It is in the sticky too.
