I an interested in volunteering at the Toronto Humane society during summers. I would like to be someone who "plays" with the animals to give them excersise since every animal needs handling. I have had about 15 pets in the past and love animals. I am willing to undergo simple training in handling them although I know how to. I am also able to tell people about each animal in a certain section and kind of advertise them to people ( let them handle the ones they are interested in etc.)
I am wondering: -What is the minimum age to volunteer at the toronto humane society -What can a teenage volunteer do in handling
At the Toronto Humane Society, you must be at least 18 years old to volunteer with the animals.
If you are old enough, they require you to visit the shelter, complete an application, and undergo a quick interview to become a volunteer. Once you complete this process you can get an assignment based on your desires, your experience, and the needs of the shelter.
The shelter is located at 11 River Street, on the southeast corner of Queen and River. Volunteer application forms are in the lobby, and you can complete the application between 12pm to 7pm daily.

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Can I litter train my pug?
So I just moved into my own place and I'll be getting a pug puppy in about a month, so it will be the first time I (instead of my dad) will be house training my dog. Back home, we could let the dogs outside and let them run around in the yard but I'm in an apt now in dt Toronto so it's a bit different. I'm wondering if I can litter train my pug instead of running down 15 stories to take him outside several times a day. If so, can you guys give me any tips? How do I let him know that he' supposed to go in there.. I know I should reward him after with positive reinforcement, but how do I actually get him in there in the first place? (I have visions of myself running with him in my arms, trying to get the the litter box and pee flying everywhere lol!) Also how long should the training take? Is it extremely difficult? Or should i just stick to making the trip downstairs all the time. I would really appreciate any help or advice you guys can offer! Thanks a lot!! :)
If you do not have the energy or desire to get you and your dog outside to go to the bathroom then a dog is not for you.
If you want something that uses a litterbox, get a cat.
Either commit to being a good dog owner and making the trip downstairs all the time, or forget the dog.

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Dog trainers in Toronto?
We're looking for a really good dog trainer in Toronto. We have a 2 year old German Shepherd from Egypt who was abandoned as a pup. As a result, the dog does not know how to act with people. What we are looking for is a professional trainer who can train the dog (and us since this is our first dog) in the following areas:
1) Get rid of the dog's initial behaviour and habits 2) Protection/guarding 3) AKC Obedience 4) CGC training 4) Interaction with children
Our goal is to get the dog to be an effective protection and guard dog while being comfortable in a social environment and with children.
Then google dog trainers in toronto.

Festival season is in full swing. Summer is a great time to be in Toronto since there are multiple events going on at the same time. I had just heard about the "Taste of Little Italy" street festival and decided to partake of a little free-admission Italo-style celebration.
When I got there yesterday at about noon the restaurants and bands were still setting up. Streets were closed all the way from Euclid to Shaw and everyone was working feverishly to prepare for the 3rd and final day of this year's Taste of Little Italy. All the major bars and restaurants had big screen TVs to beam the live Brazil-Australia World Cup match to a crowd of avid soccer fans.
At the heart of Little Italy is the CHIN Building, headquarters of Toronto's first multicultural / multilingual radio station, founded by famous Italian-Canadian entrepreneur and community leader Johnny Lombardi. CHIN broadcasts in more than 30 languages in Toronto, in more than 18 languages in Ottawa/Gatineau and is available via satellite all across North America.
Little Italy is one of Toronto's most popular entertainment areas with a great variety of Italian restaurants, trattorias, bars and cafés. Other cultures have also made culinary inroads and you'll find Japanese, Mexican, Peruvian and Portuguese eateries as well.
Since the festival wasn't quite off the ground yet I decided to treat myself to a little lunch and chose a nice window seat at "El Bodegon", one of Toronto's foremost Latin restaurants. Although the menu is dominated by meat and seafood, I opted for a light meal, combining a savoury avocado salad with fried plantains, one of my favourite vegetables. I had a perfect view from my little table by the window and caught a glimpse of two celebrities making a brief appearance: Jack Layton, federal NDP leader, and Olivia Chow, now a federal Member of Parliament. Toronto's foremost political power couple, made an appearance on their bikes at the street festival.
At about 1:30 pm the music started to get going and right across from my lunch spot a two-man band started to play Latin rhythms and flamenco. After a very satisfying mid-day meal I started strolling through the area and chatted with a few of the bands. One of the music groups, Los Imbakayunas, is from Peru and tours all throughout Eastern Canada during the summer months and plays at various street festivals and special events. The hot Peruvian rhythms and melodic sounds of the pan flute were enchanting the crowds and hips were started to gently sway. Even a woman in an electric wheelchair started to dance exuberantly to the music.
I talked to a gentleman from the Coro Folcloristico Italia di Toronto who informed me that his group has been singing for more than 15 years and their repertoire includes the whole gamut of Italian folk songs, from the north to the south. I also had a brief chat with Pablo Terry, bandleader and flute player of Sol de Cuba who has been brightening up the Toronto music scene for the last 11 years.
Across the street was another band playing Latin Jazz, followed by a group playing contemporary Italian music. A few steps down from Terry was the Jeanine Mackie Band who got the street cooking with their funk, blues and R&B tunes. Further east another Italian choir, the Coro Abruzzo, was setting up for its performance.
A street festival always attracts interesting people. An older gentleman on a bike decorated with a tiger tail, a green plastic superhero adorning the handlebar and a tyrannosaurus rex made an appearance. Of course I had to talk to him. He said his name was Mickey, he's retired now and he figured decorating his bike would be something to do in his retirement. From dressed-up dogs to dogs in baskets on bikes, everyone seemed to have a lot of fun.
Various entertainment areas were set up for children: young ones were running back and forth inside a very large inflatable train, a soccer challenge was set up and at "Hoop It Up" people could test their basketball skills. Various games of chance were enticing the crowd to try their luck.
Low-cost shiatsu massages were available and henna tattoos could also be obtained. Many of the local stores participated in the festival by providing special sale-priced items on the street.
The Nicorette girls, dressed in devilish red dresses, adorned with diabolic tails, were handing out free stop-smoking chewing gum, trying to entice the smokers to give up their filthy habit.
More freebies were to be had in the form of "clodhoppers", a truly delicious concoction of fudge and graham wafer crackers. I have to admit I walked by the Clodhoppers truck four times just to scrounge up another free sample of these delicious sweet treats. Another bunch of people were handing out free taste bags of Doritos, containing the new Jalapeno flavour. Later on I bought a pop at Kalendar Koffee House and was promptly given a free hot Nutella sandwich. The generosity was appreciated.
Freebies were available everywhere, free music and very reasonably priced food samples (costing between $1 and $5) made for a great low-cost outing on a hot June weekend.

Let's look back at our childhood... you're in your room reading a book and you hear " Johnny come here right now!" It's your mom yelling at you. Would you gladly run over to greet her? Probably not! You would be shaking in your boots, and reluctantly head over. the same applies to dogs!
Instead of being a big intimidating owner, why not trying telling your dog to come in a calm voice. Dogs read our energy, and the more calm we are, the more calm the dog is.
Always, remember to practice this tone IN YOUR HOME. This way you can practice in an controlled environment, avoiding distractions such as small animals,people or other dogs.
When practicing in your homw, be sure to praise your dog constantly as he is making the right decision. Make yourself a fun place to be with lots of pats and praise :)
Dogs read our body language as well, so it is important to show them submission signals at the right time. This way we can encourage them to follow our command, showing them with our energy,body language,and verbal tones to make the correct decision.
to find out how to practice these stategies and more be sure to look for a bark busters trainer in your area. They are only a phone call away!
