Well, being as this is my first post, let me introduce myself. Im a broke second year college student who spent my first college summer volunteering at the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County out in Shelby Farms. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it (yes even the cleaning of the cat cages and picking up the dog feces during the dog walking sessions). I learned that I need to go into a field that deals with animals. I did lots of research on different jobs and discovered one that I could do during college with no problem. I could...

Many people know how beautiful the Eden Valley is and those of us who live in it are very fortunate.But to fully appreciate the area, you occassionally have to climb a little before seeing the Valley, which lies between the Pennines and the Fells. And what better way to do so than with the company of a dog? The dog in question was Chester, a young Retriever who liked to get down and dirty ! What a water babe - although Miss Prissy aka Honey appears...
Chester likes water !Clean, muddy, warm or cold, this is one young dog who loves H2o.However ........... he doesnt enjoy it when its coming out of my hose and cleaning him.But given time, Chester would soon learn that one of the house rules is that all dogs are clean and dry !JanetIf its white, it will be a dog...

Meet Wilf, my latest residential training dog. At 18 months of age, this English Setter is a lovely, lively character. However Paul did manage to settle him down just long enough for a few photographs to be taken this afternoon. Eight month old Inca and adult male Deefa are two very impressive German Shepherds who stayed with us recently - but neither could catch Lily when she was in full stride !Next time youre stuck in the traffic, with your stress...

Clicker training is an established method of training among the most modern behavior dog trainers, in fact, in many forms, it has been around long among the animals trainers. It is a misconception that circus animals and zoo animals learned to put on a show have historically been taught using cruel methods, but not the case. So, back to the clicker. A click is a small device held in the hand of the trainer or owner who, not surprisingly, creates a "click" sound. The sound is made to say that the dog did something good. For example, you ask the...

Well, this doesnt feel like June! Having to worry about possibly postponing the start of class due to rain, doesnt seem like something I should have to worry about in June, but its a reality right now! I cant figure out this weather. Classes may start late, but they will go on!I also wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your patience and understanding this past month with cancelled classes, etc. I lost my mother...

Paul helped me out this morning by walking the dogs, as I was busy training.As someone who has been on the Fells in all types of weather, he wasnt going to let a drop of rain spoil anything. And so it was that he took Chester and Tilly up to Great Dun Fell and the radar station - or as its known in our household, the "golf ball".At least he had the common sense to park the car at Knock and use the tarmac road, rather than wading through boggy ground...
My comments about Archie being a gentleman are a little off the mark !While talking to a very good friend in the kitchen, he decides to walk in and try and relieve himself on her !!!After years of working with dogs, this is a first - and hopefully the last.Butter ...... melt ....???? !Staying with me at the moment is Jaxon, a Cocker. Jaxon wasnt terribly sure of things over the first couple of days but since then hes really been enjoying himself....
There are many commands that can be used in your dog obedience training, here is a list of basic commands and how to train your dog to make them.• Sit down - This is the first and most basic command to teach dogs. Start by gently pushing your dog extreme and say the word sit. Which is caught in time to what you want.• Down - This is the second command we want to address. Use this command to save the excitable dogs jumping on people. To train this command to tell your dog when you start jumping to them, do not act excited when they jump on you and...

In this episode Fern talks about the importance of puppy socialization with Ariana Kincaid of Operation Socialization. Lack of socialization is an epidemic and one of biggest causes of behavioral issues in adult dogs, and most people have no idea how to properly socialize their new puppies. Combine that with the multitude of misinformation online and from some trusted professionals it’s no surprise that there is so much confusion as to what is the best and safest way to socialize. Socialization should start early and is very time sensitive. In...

To reduce the number of injuries that are caused by dog bites, one must know the facts. Of every ten dog-biting incidents, six of them are by unneutered males who are usually pets. Among these fans, the vast majority are men, children under ten years, followed by girls of the same age, and then the elderly. For aggressive dog training, preventive measures are best. Given that the majority of aggressive dog incidents are caused by family-owned pets, the type of race must be studied thoroughly before buying. Formation of a new puppy must be undertaken...
Bad behaviour in dogs can consist of many problems. Does he bark all night long and keeps you from sleeping? Are you afraid he is going to keep biting? Does he chew everything except his toys? If the answer to any of these questions are yes you need to invest some time into a little bit of dog behaviour training. A little training will go a long way.Dogs that bark can be extremely irritating but the main thing is not to loose your cool, if you shout at him he will try to shout louder than you. Try and find out the cause of his barking. Is he barking...
The more I’m around dogs the more I realized how they hold the secret to a happy life. No, I don’t mean butt sniffing and leg humping (although I do enjoy both now and again). I’m talking about the things that really matter. Most people have heard that dogs are present-minded creatures, which means that they “live in the moment” and don’t spend a second thinking about what happened in the past or what’s on tap for the future. Although you’re probably already aware of this, have you ever contemplated it and realized the simple power of it? Dogs...

When you are training your dog, some useful dog training tips include doing the training in many different locations. For example, if you only train your dog to respond to the command of "Sit" while inside your home, it may not understand that it has to respond to this command in an outdoor setting as well. Leash training for example, is something that most people only do outdoors. You have to work on this training inside the house as well and then...

A well rounded and confident dog reaches that stage by virtue of being socialised, or as I say, "shown the world", albeit in a controlled way.But how many dogs grow up and develop in the company of a Norwegian Fjordhorse as it enjoys some breakfast - and how many actually want to share it ?!Well Charlie, a 6 month old Cocker Spaniel is one such dog. Very sad circumstances have forced his owner to put him up for adoption, and who snapped him up ?...
