Dog Training Jobs

Vet Techs and other dog related jobs?

Soo, i'm in th 8th grade. About 5 years till college. I would really like to have a job that i am passionate for, which is dogs.
I've heard Vet techs help the vets, weigh, take temps, sometimes help in surgeries, and other things like that. How much would you get paid for being a vet tech a year? Is it good pay? What other dog related jobs could you reccommend? I've heard grooming, training, helping kids, service dogs (handicapped, police, etc.), what are some other ones someone could live off of?
PS- im sorry, i know this question has been asked a million and 4 times, but none of them really have suitable answers >_<

It really depend where you live to be a vet tech. Some places only make $13/hour where others make $20/hour.

Common tasks performed by a veterinary technician include taking histories, providing treatment to routine problems, and giving counseling to clients. Technical skills include venipuncture, collecting urine, performing skin scrapings, performing routine lab procedures and tests in hematology, chemistry, microbiology, urinalysis, and serology. They assist the veterinarian with physical examinations that help determine the nature of the illness or injury. Veterinary technicians also administer medications, anesthesia, and blood products to the animals as prescribed by the veterinarian. Tasks in patient care include recording temperature, pulse and respiration, dressing wounds, applying splints and other protective devices, and cleaning teeth. They perform catheterizations, both urinary and venous, earflushes, intravenous feedings, and tube feedings. Equipment use includes operating electrocardiographic and radiographic equipment. Veterinary technicians commonly assist veterinarians in surgery by providing correct equipment and instruments and by assuring that monitoring and support equipment such as anesthetic machines, cardiac monitors, scopes and breathing apparatus are in good working condition. They also maintain treatment records and inventory of all pharmaceuticals, equipment and supplies.

Veterinary technicians are very different from veterinary assistants, because veterinary assistants have not been properly trained to perform many of the tasks that veterinary technicians can nor do they have specific education in this field. Assistants typically have only a high school diploma or GED, but some may have limited college experience or be in school studying to become a board certified technician

Queen of the Himalayas

The one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once-by even a glimpse would not give that glimpse for the shows of the rest of the world combined - is what Mark Twain said about natural beauty of some place. Although Kashmir with its gardens, lakes, mountains and pilgrim spots is known as Paradise on Earth; none can really match the warm welcome extended by the Queen of Himalayas, Darjeeling. It produces the famous Darjeeling Tea, one of the world's finest teas. It is also home to the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a World Heritage Site.

Nestled among the rolling mountains with the glistening Mt Kanchenjunga towering over the azure sky, Darjeeling provides a perfect gateway for those seeking to be in harmony with nature. Apart from its natural beauty provides a wide variety of activities from leisurely scenic walks to more grueling activities such as trekking and river rafting for the adventurous ones.

This is the land of the muscatel flavoured Darjeeling tea revered by connoisseurs across the globe. The tea plantations date back to the mid 19th century as part of a British development of the area. The tea growers of the area developed distinctive hybrids of black tea and fermenting techniques, with many blends considered among the world’s finest.
This is also the land of the world heritage Darjeeling Himalayan Railway where the century old miniature steam engine still chugs uphill vying for space with the fast disappearing Land Rovers.

Once covered in royal robe of majestic evergreen forest, major deforestation due to pressures of population overgrowth and commercial tourism has taken its toll on this breathtaking beauty of a town. But yet in some pockets it still preserves the pristine beauty of its virginal fir and pine forests, where sunbeams dance on the leaves to create a fairytale world. Flora around Darjeeling includes temperate, deciduous forests of poplar, birch, oak, and elm as well as evergreen, coniferous trees of wet alpine. Dense evergreen forests lie around the town, where a wide variety of rare orchids are found.

Lloyd's Botanical Garden preserves common and rare species of flora, while the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park is the only specialized zoo in the country conserving and breeding endangered Himalayan species. The fauna here is very varied - squirrels(including the Himalayan flying and Assam giant varieties), monkeys, civets, wild cats, tigers, leopards, jackals and foxes, wild dogs, otters, martens, weasels, bears, porcupines, hares, barking deer, chitals, sambhars and the extremely rare pangolin. In the foothills and the terai forests, in the sanctuaries (Jaldhapara and Gorumara in the neighboring Jalpaiguri) can be seen the gaur or Bison, the single horned rhinoceros and elephants.

Darjeeling is also the home of six hundred varieties of beautiful birds like fairy bluebirds, sunbirds, orioles, flycatchers, finches, woodpeckers, Rufus piculate, emerald cuckoos, three-toed kingfishers, long-tailed broadbills, long-legged falcons, Hoogson's imperial pigeons, emerald doves, besides a large number of seasonal migratory birds on their way to the plains. 

Fascinating Darjeeling the famous summer haunt of the Rabindranath Tagore was also his inspiration for many of his best creations. Today it is known for six T’s -Tea, Tourism, Tiger Hill, Toy Train, Teak and Trekkers’ paradise. Accommodation in Darjeeling has never been a problem for any visitors to the Queen of Hill Stations. There is always ample accommodation available from lavish hotels to economical lodgings. Travelers are advised to book earlier if planning a tour between March end and May due to the peak season. Arranging accommodation on reaching might be complicated and could be expensive. There are a few government approved hotels which provide subsidized rate for government employees and dignitaries.

Potty Training A Dog?

I live in a condo on the top floor and was thinking about getting a small dog. I would take him/her for walks a lot but for times when I'm at work (my sister and I work opposite shifts so the dog would barely be alone...plus we have 2 cats)

I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of a dog being litter or puppy pad trained?

Yes, you hear it all the time. I own a shih tzu, and she is trained to go on the pads, and outside.


Though, after the years it has become a pain. After 6 years, it will be hard to break her of her habits of going on the pads. I highly recomend that you try to housebreak her instead. Or, adopt an older dog that is already housetrained!

Hope this helps, good luck!

Tracking Dog Training

Where to get good info on trailing & tracking training for a Bloodhound?

I have a Bloodhound Pup who is about 6 months old, I am very interested in the man-trailing training. I have trained & competed in AKC obed. but now I am eager to learn how to train a rescue dog.

Your best bet is to read about trailing and how to get the dog started, then join a local club that teaches man trailing. The bloodhound already knows how to trail - you have to learn how to work with him as a team and understand the signals he gives you and help him understand what it is you want him to do.

When I first started out training with my bloodhounds, I didn't really know the difference between tracking and trailing. In tracking, the dog follows the footsteps of the runner, while in trailing, they are following the skin rafts of the runner, which may or may not be right in the footsteps. Bloodhounds are more natural at trailing, and in my opinion trailing is much more effective and successful in locating the runner or victim. The dog training is started differently for trailing than it is for tracking, so make sure you've read up and decided which you want to do.

Do some reseach in your area on the opportunities to put your dog to work. There are several organizations in my area which use man-trailing dog, including one who does searches for lost alzheimer patients. Usually you work for free as a volunteer unless you get into a law enforcement organization.

Another area you can look into is FEMA Search and Rescue. They do training for the full search capabilities - like searching rubble, trailing, air-scent, cadaver search.

The American bloodhound club (ABC) gives titles in man-trailing, and the AKC gives titles in tracking.

The american bloodhound club has a listing of books and videos on trailing or bloodhounds:

http://www.bloodhounds.org/page5/resources.html

This is a good high-level article on trailing - http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=2113&S=1&SourceID=47

The following is a good book to learn about trailing:

Training The Mantrailing Bloodhound
by Jack R. Shuler
A "how to" training guide for producing a working mantrailing bloodhound. This book is directed towards the training of bloodhounds as a tool for law enforcement, but can also be used by those interested in trailing as a sport or for SAR.

Good Luck to you!

Are there any FREE websites or FREE training tips for a barking and nipping dog?

He nips when kids run indoors. He barks at doors, phones and other noises. He also barks at stray cats.
I don't have the money for trainers, and have tried training from books and collars.
I have looked at searches on google. It doesn't relate to my dog, or money is asked. I need sites that allow me to tell a trainer about my dog and they can give me advice. Thank you.

For the barking use a spray bottle with water and squirt him in the mouth when he barks...or use a can of pennies (sound aversion)

Dog Separation Anxiety – Several Useful Tips for Dealing with a Common Dog Training Problem

Barking dogs drive themselves and others to distraction.  Just ask anyone who owns or lives near a dog that incessantly barks.  If you've received complaints from neighbors about your dog's barking, you may be surprised, since he rarely barks when you are home.   Apparently, he barks a lot when you are gone.  In that case, you can be fairly certain that you're dealing with dog separation anxiety .  There are ways to fix his anxiety, but don't make the mistake of hoping the dog will "settle down" in time.  Failure to deal with the barking can lead to a downward spiral of other and more serious behaviors.  Your question is what to do?

First, check with your vet about your dog's health.  If his health is good, ask your vet about giving him anti-anxiety medication for a month or two while working on the behavior.  It will calm him down and give your training a better chance to work.  Also, use a comprehensive dog training manual that will guide you through dog training problems.  Check my earlier blog posts about some of these issues.  Dealing with dog separation anxiety should be part of a comprehensive dog training program.  As with all dog training, you as the trainer must establish yourself as the alpha dog and employ gentle, consistent and repetitive commands.  Provide the proper structure and a good sense of security for your dog, and you can teach him almost anything.

With that in mind, reward your dog for calm behavior and help him develop a sense of independence when he is separated from you.  First, try to change your leave-taking routine.  If you usually place your purse or brief-case by the exit, go outside with it, put it in the car, and then return to eat breakfast. If you usually shower first and then eat breakfast, reverse the order and eat breakfast first.  If you read the paper for a few minutes before leaving, read it first and then go take your shower.  Try to take the sting out of the accumulating morning rituals, which cause your dog's anxiety.  You want him to learn that jingling your car keys does not necessarily mean you are leaving and that it is no cause for concern if you do.

Secondly, it's important to keep your leaving-taking and return to home calm and low-key.  Don't encourage your dog to bark or whine when you leave or return.  Give him attention only when his barking/whining, stops (if only for a few seconds).   When returning home, ignore him for a few minutes and act calmly and normally, as if your return was not anything to rejoice about.  While this may sound mean, keep in mind that your dog's ancestors roamed in packs.  The alpha dog could come and go at will, but the members of the pack never voluntarily left the alpha dog.  You want to reinforce both your alpha status and his calm behavior.  Ignore the wild receptions you receive when you return.  He must learn that the whole world does not revolve around you, and that he will be fine by himself.  It seems counter intuitive, but it is important.  While at home, combine this strategy with training for commands such as "sit" or "stay."   Then leave the dog alone for a few seconds.  As he grows more comfortable, progress to several minutes.  Your goal is to make him relax when you are not with him and to reward him for calm behavior.

Third, a favorite toy or treat may keep him occupied during the first half hour after your departure, which is when the most frantic anxiety is often exhibited.  "Kong" toys with a treat inside will work wonders sometimes in dealing with the high anxiety he feels when you first leave.

Fourth, exercise is essential for all pets, especially dogs.  Playing with your dog, taking him for walks or playing active games with him, are all good for his health, and yours.  Exercise will consume a lot of his energy and it will tire him so he will sleep better.  In addition, some dogs were bred for work.  Working dogs need not only the exercise, but they also need the "job."  Corgis were bred as sheep herders.  My friend had one that constantly tried to herd all her guests into the same room!  Take into account the characteristics of your dog's breed and use sound training principles.  You will have a happy dog.

I feel like a failure as a dog owner?

Im on this forum where ive been told im making things worse for my dog because she isnt housetrained yet.

We took her in when an old owner couldnt properly care for her and she was locked in a crate all day. She wasn't properly housetrained and was allowed to pee and poo in the house without any guidance. Over the last 9 months weve had her (she is now a year and a half) and ive been trying to house train her.

Shes my first dog and we live with my dad and sister. Im only 19 and i feel im the only one dedicating time to this. We managed to get her to stop going in her crate all together and in the day she occasionally will go to pee and poo on newspaper that i leave out.

Ive been told on the forum that this isnt house training and that it must be horrible for my dog.

I just feel so rubbish now, Really upset. I dont know, you guys all might agree but what do you think?

Going on newspaper isn't really housetraining (housetraining means they go outside) but for a dog like this it's a good first step. You can later move the newspaper outside to transition the dog to going outside. Have you tried the puppy pads, which are specially scented to attract the dog?

Also, a good method to housetrain an adult dog is to put the dog on a leash and take it around the house with you. That way you can monitor it the whole time and figure out when it needs to go, and take it out right away.

The thing that people have a problem with is when people start paper training 8-week-old puppies. Some people do this in the winter because it's "too cold" to take the dog outside.... then they act surprised and blame the dog when they have trouble retraining it to go outside in the spring.

tips on dog training?

my dog will do dozens of tricks on command, she never jumps, she never bites, and she usually listens, but if there's a coyote outside or another dog or person and she isn't on a leash she will not come when called, she just keeps going. ive seen people like victoria stilwell and cesar millan get dogs to return in mid charge, how can i get my dog to that point? she's a 5 year old golden retriever-lab mix and it's not like she doesn't respect me, she just sees offleash as meaning free time, she knows heel but it doesn't matter what i say, once she decides to go after something it's done. she'd been hurt by other dogs before after running to greet them and i'm genuinly concerned that the next time she gets out im going to be taking her to the vet with serious wounds

One of the easiest ways is to put her on a long line, like a washing line and let it trail, unclip her lead so she thinks she is free and tell her free, you need to practice this so do it in an area where she can't go too far and there are not any or many distractions and no trees or anything the line could get caught up on until you get your recall 100% , when she starts to go away from you say nothing, don't look at her, just go and stand on the line nearest to you, you now have control, that is when you call her, lift the line and gently pull her as you call her name as soon as she is near you, praise her and tell her free letting the line trail again, you need to do this numerous times, each time she comes back, lots of praise then free.............dogs will often not come back as you are stressed ( as they are running off) you are possibly chasing after them, so that makes them feel comfortable as you are keeping within their working distance..instead of running off the other way and they get told off when they eventually do come back or you get them, they are put on a lead and it is the end of their free time...........so all very logical in dogs eyes.
You will find very quickly you don't need to pull the line to you for her to come, however keep it on her as it is easier to get control once there is distraction, which is what you then want to practice...the same method with distraction and you will keep calmer as you know you can get control quickly...the key is not to speak until you are standing on the line....there are lots of other ways however this is simple and works well.

What you see on TV from these TV trainers is a tiny part of the training dogs need and what is done by trainers who work on the shows with the dogs and sort out the dogs issues ( and the peoples issues) before the film is spliced...so the 15 minutes of training they do looks impressive, however it is not the full story, it is TV, they do not show the amount of work required or the trainers that do that work.
