[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] How do I leash train my dog?
We live in a rural area and in a small town. Oliver is usually the only dog in public unless we go to a dog park. Oliver is good at stopping and going, being around people and cars, but when there is another animal on a leash, he makes a ruckus until they get to sniff butts and do the doggie dance.
I want to take Oliver on a trip with me to Seattle, but I need him to behave on a leash. Either that to he is riding in my purse, but I think he would be happier walking.
First thing to keep in mind-this is YOUR walk...he just gets to go. What that means to him is you make the decisions regarding where, when, how...what it means to you is you decide when to stop, when to go, which direction you will travel, when he gets to sniff, etc.
Start walking when he is focused on you-if he is distracted it will be much harder for him to learn the correct position. Move forward ONLY when he is beside or behind, and the lease has some slack (hold the leash at a place where the is just a few extra inches between your hand and his collar). If he starts to move ahead or is taking up the slack-STOP!! Immediately...do not walk while he is doing this-every step is like a treat...think of how many he could get in just 5 feet. Replace him in the proper position and give him some slack in the leash-if he takes it, put him back in the proper position and give him some slack in the leash-if he takes it, put him back in the proper position and give him some slack in the leash-you get the point! Until he is staying in place, do not walk. When he finally gets the idea, reward him with forward motion. As he gets better, reward with praise and/or treats for longer distances with him in the correct position.
This is an extremely tedious and patience testing technique with most dogs. Think of it this way, would you rather spend 1-2 weeks not getting anywhere, or the next 10+ years getting dragged by your dog? It seems your is small-so not as much dragging, however the lack of respect pulling you shows is setting a precedent for all other behaviors.
BTW-thank you for asking this. I have been meaning to write up an article for my website, and you just motivated me to do it! LOL

Dog Boarding Kennel As Your Preferred Alternative When Traveling
Recently, individuals are really busy of working, they start the job at morning and return home late in the evening. For dog owner this may not be an ideal activity for the reason that pet dogs have a need for your attention, play time and proper training together with the dog owner. Not just for doing work, if it is period for vacation there are times you are not able to take the dog along with you for some reason. This could possibly generate mind troubles to your doggy which probably he is about to feel that he is no longer needed and not offered the right dog attention your puppy wants. Not only that this too could direct the dog to possess undesirable behaviors habit.
Totally different from their ancestors and forefathers which existed being the wild canines, canines are now existed being pet dogs at house or dog boarding kennels for the purpose of breeding. They are taken care, feed, completely trained by the dog owner constantly and serve the human as return. Then when the pet dogs are generally not receiving proper care with the owner, it could possibly simply get sick and unhealthy.
But when you still wish to have a doggy though still doing work and going through trip on holiday moment, dog boarding kennel is one of several fine alternatives. With this dog boarding kennel your pet will not be on it's own while you are having a job or deciding on having holiday trip. Not only the dog is given proper care and attention and high quality dog food but also will be properly trained and spend playtime with other dogs. With this dog boarding kennel capability, most of rather busy dog owners are currently can be relieved while not available to look after doggie on their own.
While it is known that dog boarding kennel provides the best service and living for the puppy that is being left on it's own in the house, not all dog boarding kennel contains the best dog boarding facilities to make your canine appears pleasant for being there. Therefore make an effort to examine and find more information about the dog boarding kennel facilities. You can ask for the dog boarding kennel information from other dog owner, vet, some local pet store and dog boarding kennel online listing from internet.
Just in case that you can not find the suitable dog boarding kennel for your dog to live with when you are going to go out of town, it is better for you to leave the dog with your relative, friend or neighbor that are familiar and match with your dog condition. It is always a bad idea to leave you dog alone at home or force the dog to stay at dog boarding kennel that does not match with the dog.

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Do you think this is wrong?
Do you think that BSl is wrong? BSL is Breed-specific legislation. It is designed to place restrictions on ownership of certain breeds of dogs. Typically, the restricted breeds include pit bull-type dogs (usually vaguely defined). In my opinion, it is not the dogs fault on how they act. It is the irresponsible owners that train them to grow up to kill.On Monday, May 9, 2005, the Denver Division of Animal Control began enforcing a city-wide ban on owning pit bull terriers, and initiated an aggressive campaign of seizing beloved family pets, and killing them against their owner's will. These dogs were innocent. When did guilty come befor proven innocent? heres some info for you. 440,000 people are killed from ciggarettes each year. 40,000 are killed from car accidents. 38,000 are killed by gun crimes. 2,000 are killed by there own parents. only three are killed by pitt bulls. ONLY THREE. show your support and vote against BSL. for more info go to www.stopbsl.com. thankyou.
BSL is definitely wrong and it is not going to stop at pit bulls once it gets passed it opens the door to bans on all breeds, large and small. In Italy 92 breeds of dog are deemed dangerous and if people here do not wake up we will be headed in the same direction. The next thing you know we will not be able to own any dogs and the only place we will be able to see them is in the zoo with the rest of the wild and dangerous animals. I write to the government officials every time I hear a new state proposing BSL and I sign petitions against it. The best way to beat BSL is to educate as many people as possible.
KEEP UP THE FIGHT AND EDUCATION!!!!

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Im looking for a new service dog?
I use a serivice dog for a sezier disoder and for panic atacks I just had to give up my dog becuse she started haveing exterm seperation axity issues after I was in the hosptal for a week and was unable to do her job I cant apley for programs that tran dogs as most programs dont tran them for my disablites ( I buy dogs and have them privaly trained) I live in seattle if anyone has some ideas on a good breed I have a traner in mind the prolum is I cant have a puppy thas not welll behaved in my aparment so I need someone else to start the traning for me or I need a dog that is grown and well behaved to work on turing into a service dog
You could check out rescues for older dogs, and also check out breeders. It's not true that programs don't train for seizure response, but the challenge as you know is that the dog has to naturally respond and respond well to seizures. I also know there's an assistance dog training club in Washington.
Are you also familiar with Fair Housing Act and your rights to have a SDIt or an emotional support animal, trained or not trained, as long as you can provide a doctor's note. This gives you more options than having an already 90% trained SD in training. The rest is your personal preference. While a rescue dog might be great, also be aware that they are at higher risk of separation anxiety issues.
I would suggest using "Lend me an Ear" by Martha Hoffman to look at what would make a good dog for you in personality. I think breed matters very little, compared to the personality and balanced temperament you need, as well as your needs (cost of feeding, grooming, maintenance). I know that smaller dogs do well for seizure alert, but if you have panic attacks due to PTSD, a larger, more macho-looking dog might be more appropriate.
Chihuahuas, Poodles, labs, chow-chows, etc all can work well as seizure alert dogs.
Proper handling and selection of a dog is very important. Dogs that respond to panic attacks and seizures are owner-oriented and velcro dogs, and they are very high-risk for separation anxiety issues if they are at all fearful or insecure. You can't just get a dog trained and not set up a daily training routine to help reduce separation anxiety issues and bolster confidence. Meet with more than one trainer-- get on an on-line support list to talk to other users about living with service dogs.
You can contact an animal behaviorist to help you find a good match for you-- preferably an outgoing, happy-go-lucky dog with low aggression, great resilence.
I'd actually suggest a medium to larger dog, maybe a retriever or retriever mix, even a well-tempered rottweiler. Herding breeds are diverse, but they can be more fearful as puppies and young dogs, or become protective, and they need a steady handler, so I couldn't recommend a herding breed that would be right for you. You also need to keep learning more about dogs and dog psychology.
Because of your disability, it is easy for you to inadvertantly behave in such a way that can foster separation anxiety in a dog over time, unless you have received specific training on how to behave as you handle separations from your dog and do that consistently and help build up confidence in your dog that separations are OK.
Our service dogs must be nearly perfect, but we have to really help our dogs achieve that, everyday.
Ideas on preventing separation anxiety:
* Send the dog to a good doggie day care once a week so they can get used to separations and also de-stress from working with you (this is hard-- seizure alert dogs really are 24/7). * Have the dog dogsat once a month or so, to develop a good relationship with your "emergency care" support network. *To reduce the stress of an 911 call-- have your dog visit fire stations and 911 departments, meet police-- all uniformed and nonuniformed, feed your dog biscuits and teach the dog those people are "special friends." * Do your homework and educate your advocate (somebody who can handle people well and supports you) on how to bring your SD into the hospital. * Work on greeting and separating from your dog. Pig ears, kongs, etc. all help take the sting out of an initial separation. * Train good stays and use them, until your dog will stay offleash even if you're out of eye contact.
Any SD MUST be able to pass the ADI public access test or CGC standard of separation. Work on this hard so your dog can do even better than the test tests for.
This is even more important if you know your dog is prone to that from temperament testing or past history (shelter and rescue dogs are prone to this). My dog aces this easily-- in real life, not just tests-- I just tell him he's to be with that person, and he obliges.
I worked hard on this issue because my old dog had separation anxiety and panic disorder so severe we had to put her on prozac or euthansize her, she was that miserable. It was probably triggered by the next-door dog breaking into our yard and scaring her.
She was a well behaved dog, but she was never SD material because she had fear issues which you wouldn't see in public, but give her a threatening situation and she'd backpedal, she'd be head-shy, she had noise-shyness-- couldn't handle fireworks, and T-storms would find her under the bed.
I've faced really scary situations with my present dog that would have caused my old dog to break down and develop permanent fears of going out in public, so I guarantee you, you MUST not accept just a "well behaved" dog-- you need solid nerves. Once we walked into an elevator and the man screamed and brought his hands above his heads like he was trying to scare us. My heart jumped, and my dog startled slightly, but I saw he was startled himself and we calmed down, and it was only a pause before we both entered the elevator and had him sat in corner opposite this 6 foot stranger (who I could see was "safe" in body language).
Now, that experience with my old dog-- she'd have backpedaled, bolted, opened the door to the stairs and kept on going all 8 flights down! And she'd never want to enter an elevator again if there was a big bad man in there.
Yes, you can probably empathize big-time with my old dog... but that's the point-- your dog needs the socialization, the training, and the calm nerves, to have the confidence when you don't :D.
Good luck finding a new dog!
