Using ‘Amichien® Bonding’ you will gain your dog’s complete confidence. Jan Fennell. 20th February 2012

I remember, during one of my study periods in Yellowstone National Park, seeing a six month old wolf pup, who had wandered away from the family group (pack) for the third time, howling and wait to be rescued again but this time her mother set off in the opposite direction, back into the comfort of their own territory, effectively abandoning her wayward daughter this time after finally losing patience. In truth, this wise mother was allowing her daughter to learn the consequences of her own action. Initially this may seem so dreadful but the mother had to think of the whole group and so the youngster had to learn, for herself, that wandering away from the pack means that she would be alone, not a happy or safe state for any group living animal, including people. Twenty minutes later and two miles away we watched as the pup caught up with her family, which enabled her to learn a very valuable lesson and is the reason that puppies are dispensable during their growing time and if they fail to learn they will probably perish and are of no use to the future of their species. The survival of the fittest rule always applies and as long as they are in a natural world then this rule will be essential. I remember seeing a four month old puppy playing freely in the yard of a smallholding close to a very busy road and when I asked if they wanted to put the pup somewhere safe was told that she would learn, just as her mother had. Well, that told me! One morning a little girl, who lived on the other side of this road, spotted the puppy and enthusiastically called it to come to her. Happily and eagerly the pup, then six months of age, raced to be with the little friend. Unfortunately at that exact moment a car came along the road and the pup was killed, something that the little girl and the poor driver of the car will never forget. The risks this pup was exposed to, (being left to learn for itself the dangers of the road), were not acceptable because it had no frame of reference for man made danger. As it is us that introduce unnatural elements in the world, it is our responsibility to protect ourselves and those beings that we are responsible for, from them. In any one year over 100 animals are unnecessarily killed by cars in Yellowstone National Park. To summarise; all young animals are dispensable in nature until they have learnt to become valuable members of the family unit and then they take their place within the group. Caution comes later, with age and experience, experience and knowledge of all possible dangers, to both the individual and the group. Based on that experience, a certain level of responsibility is given which helps create a good leader able to take calculated risks, something that our dogs can never do for themselves in our unfamiliar world. Understanding the particular risks of the human world is your job, based on your experience and by using ‘Amichien® Bonding’ you will gain your dog’s complete confidence, and he will be able to entrust his safety totally to a group member who understands the risks in our world………you!

Coyotes, how to kep your pet dog and the Coyetes safe!

Coyotes are a common wildlife species throughout North America. The coyote (Canis latrans) is a member of the dog family and has adapted well our urban landscapes and appears to be equally comfortable living in city suburbs as they do out in the wilderness. They have a home range territory of about 20 square kilometers (8 square miles) and can be spotted anytime of the day but are most active at night when they go in search for food. Coyotes prey on deer and livestock but will also scavenge on dead animals and eat insects, rodents, rabbits and small birds. In urban areas, coyotes will take advantage of unsecured garbage or pet food if these attractants are left outside. They are also known to kill or injure pets, especially small dogs or cats when they enter populated areas. It is the adaptable quality of these predators that often leads to conflict with humans.Coyotes breed annually during winter months, between January and March and are more active during these months, as they scour for food in preparation for their litter. Mated pairs can remain together for up to 12 years, and on average, six pups are born in April or May. Litter size depends on population density and available food sources during the breeding season. Wild coyotes are naturally curious, however they are timid and will usually run away if challenged. Coyotes start posing a risk to people when they lose their timidness and become comfortable around humans which is usually a result of direct or indirect feeding by humans. A few precautions and good, old-fashioned common sense will help minimize conflicts and encounters with coyotes in your area. Prevent Coyotes From Getting Comfortable in Your NeighborHoodPeople in residential neighbourhoods need to work together to ensure that coyotes don't start to feel comfortable living in their neighbourhood. Coyotes that are rewarded through direct or indirect feeding will eventually loose their fear of humans and begin to see humans, their yards and their pets as food sources. A coyote that is comfortable in one person's yard is going to feel comfortable in everyone's yard. So become proactive in your community by helping to educate neighbors and residents about coyotes. Do not feed coyotes or any other wildlife, especially near human habitation. Coyotes can be discouraged from hanging around homes by scaring them off each time they are seen and by removing attractants. Keep all garbage in plastic or metal containers with lids tightly secured. Bring pet food inside a secure location every night or, better yet, feed your pet indoors. If you have a compost be sure the bin is securely built and has a lockable lid. Remove any meat, meat-by-products, fish and cooked fruit and vegetables from compost. Adding lime will help reduce odor and aid the composting process. If you have fruit trees be sure to pick the fruit as it ripens and do not leave fruit to rot on the ground. If a coyote becomes a pest report it to your local animal control. Coyotes can also be removed by a homeowner in defense of private property or to protect personal safety on land that they own. But DO NOT leave poison out under any circumstance. You can harm other wild animals and domestic animals in your neighborhood. Coyotes can be humanely trapped, so you consider hiring a licensed trapper if the animal becomes a real nuisance. But in the majority of circumstances it's best to alert authorities who can deal with the situation. Keeping your Dog Safe Coyotes pose very little risk to large dogs, unless there is a pack of coyotes involved. Usually small dogs are targeted, so they should be monitored more closely if there are coyotes in the area. Keep dogs inside at night and under close supervision while they are outside during the day. Don't let your dog out into a backyard unattended. If you own a small dog keep the dog on a short leash. Avoid extension leashes. That way if there is any trouble, or you spot a coyote, you can quickly pick the dog up for protection. Supervise the dog when it is off-leash. Keep the dog in front or beside you while walking, not behind you. Avoid walking by abandoned or neglected properties and bushy areas, especially at dusk and dawn. If your pet gets injured or killed by a coyote be sure to report it to local authorities. If you see a coyote be sure to report the sighting to local authorities, and don't forget to post up a NeighborHound Alert for your fellow dog owners! If You Encounter a Coyote Most coyotes will keep to themselves. But on occasion a coyote may demonstrate no fear of humans. However, keep in mind it is not normal for coyotes to attack or pursue humans, especially adults. If it does display such aggression, it is most likely sick. If you spot a coyote stop, remain calm and assess your situation. Never approach or crowd a coyote — give it an escape route. If the coyote seems unaware of you, move away quietly when it is not looking in your direction. If the coyote is aware of you, let it know you are human: shout at it, wave your arms above your head to make yourself appear more threatening, throw stones or other objects at it. If you have a small child or dog, pick them up. If a coyote approaches you make yourself look as large as possible. (So if sitting, stand for example.) Wave your arms and throw objects at the coyote. Use a deterrent. Deterrents could include: rocks, sticks, banging pots and pans, tin cans filled will rocks. Shout at the coyote in a loud aggressive voice. If the coyote continues to approach do not turn away or run — this may encourage the coyote to chase you. Continue to exaggerate the above gestures and slowly move to safety or move towards buildings or human activity. If the coyote attacks you — Fight Back! Dogs Used as Coyote Deterrants Some dog breeds are effective in helping to scare off coyotes and have been used by farmers and ranchers to guard livestock. For example: Great Pyrenees, Komondor, Anatolian Shepherd and Akbash Dogs. Greyhound packs are also highly effective in tracking and hunting coyotes. If You Suspect a Coyote is Sick Coyotes suffer from diseases often found in domestic dogs such as canine distemper, rabies, canine hepatitis, canine influenza, and parvovirus. They are also susceptible to sarcoptic mange, These diseases and parasites can be transferred to dogs and cats coming into contact with an area where an infected coyote may have lived or sought shelter (e.g. a farm's straw bedding, hay bales, etc.). Other common parasites which can affect humans or pets include heartworm, hookworm, and tapeworms. Therefore, if you find a sick or dead coyote or its scat (droppings), never pick it up! Report any sick or dead coyote to your local animal authority. Also be sure that your dog has all its current vaccinations, to protect your pet from potentially picking up an illness from a wild animal.

Taking our dog to the vets office. Louise, Dog Listener, CA.

Going to the vets office with your dog, please show your friend that it’s nothing to worry about. Be a good role model. (Baby steps with a scared dog). This can be a daunting thing to do as a dog owner and can be a frightening event for your friend. Go slowly. Visit the vet’s office frequently, not just to checkups or shots. Hang out, sit and read a book. Show your dog that this is not a scary place. By showing your dog that you are calm, your dog will see this as an OK experience. They may never love it and that’s OK. Some of us hate going to the dentist! Make this a place where your dog trusts you to handle what happens to him/her with ease. (Stay calm and carry on). If your relationship is right at home, then trust will be there when our and about. Calm & consistent wins the day. They are all different it is not about the breed, it’s about the personality. Trust you; again please be a good role model. Emergencies happen, do what is necessary to save a life! Teach your vet to ignore your dog until they relax & then ask/invite the dog over-reward and praise.

Their personality and our relationship with them plays a huge part. Its OK to put your dogs in another room, safely away, somewhere where they can relax and not be bothered. Remember to be a good role model.. keep calm and carry on.. Louise Pay, Dog Listener California.

For parents and Grandparents to share with children.   1: Never go up to a dog that you do not know, instead wait and ask the owner if their dog likes young people.

The importance of a rescue group doing a home visit, before adopting a dog out

The importance of a rescue group doing a home visit, before adopting a dog. Adopting a dog is a big deal, you are saving a life, thank you! The importance of the rescue group doing a home visit, prior to your bringing your friend home can not be overstated. Both you and your new friend need to have the right life time partner. The right person doing the evaluation, is just as important as having one! The foster family/foster coordinator needs to be the one accessing the home/someone who knows the dog's history well. Not a total stranger. A good group will send someone to your home, not to look at your decor, but to see how you live, your life style, knowing the personality of the dog in their care, they will know if this is a good fit. Being in love with a dog is not enough, you need to make sure that both of you/all of you will be happy. This relationship is life long. This is not just about your home/yard/ being a safe place, but are you the right person/family for this dog? Dogs are for a life time, they are loving amazing creatures and bringing the wrong one home will be awful for you, your family and the dog. Please be grateful to a group who cares enough to check your home/life/activity level, before your new friend comes home. Some groups do not do this, they do not know the dogs in their care, their personality, needs, likes etc. With time, care, finding the right home will save all those involved from failing, and being broken hearted! One of the best ways to adopt, is to foster first, take your relationship slowly! Take time to find the right companion, for all of your sakes. Be grateful to a group for taking the time to find the right home. Again, thank you for adopting. Every dog's personality is different and even if you have had this breed before, does not mean that you have had this personality! A good rescue/organization will get to know you and your family, and will let you know if the dog you love, is a good fit for your family. The best person to do the home/yard check is the foster, as they know the dog best. Louise Dog Listener Bay Area CA.

Bloat.. The latest study..Things have changed.. Please read and save a life..

Subject: Bloat Study findings Permission to cross post from Lets Discuss Judging NEW Purdue Bloat Study Recent studies are shedding more light on gastric dilatation volvulus (GDV), otherwise known as bloat. GDV is the second leading cause of death in large-breed (50 – 99 pounds) and giant-breed (100 pounds and over) dogs. Approximately one in four large-breed dogs and one in five giant-breed dogs may develop GDV during their lifetime, with some breeds at even higher lifetime risk. GDV strikes suddenly and has a mortality rate as high as 30 percent. In GDV there is a rapid accumulation of air in the stomach, causing distention and often rotation of the stomach, cutting off blood supply at both ends and causing the dog to go into shock. GDV is an acute emergency and rushing the dog to immediate veterinary care is essential. The risk of a dog developing GDV increases with age. Other factors that increase a dog’s risk are having a first-generation relative with a history of GDV, having a deep and narrow chest or abdomen, being thin, experiencing a major health problem before age 1, and having a fearful or nervous temperament. Research primarily at Purdue University by Dr. Larry Glickman, VMD, Phd, (an AKC Excellence in Canine Research Award winner), and Dr. Malathi Raghavan, DVM, Phd. has identified a number of feeding management and dietary factors that increase the risk of GDV. These include eating only one meal a day, feeding only dry dog food, feeding food with only small particles, and feeding a large volume of food per meal. Other feeding factors found to increase the risk of GDV were eating rapidly, increased physical activity before and eating, restricting a dog’s water intake before and after eating, moistening dry food before feeding, and eating from a raised feeding bowl. Thus, some of the recommendations commonly made to prevent GDV were shown by the research to actually increase the risk of GDV. In the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Vol. 17, No. 10, Glickman wrote, “In addition, in univariate analyses, many of the recommendations commonly made to prevent GDV, such as raising the food bowl, moistening dry food prior to feeding, and restricting water intake before and after feeding, were associated with a significantly increased risk of GDV.” Recent research, not yet published, has shown an increased risk of GDV in dogs who consumed dry foods containing fat among the first four ingredients, and an increased risk in dogs who consumed dry foods listing citric acid as a preservative – with this risk rising when foods with citric acid were moistened. Although not statistically significant, researchers found that a modest increase in risk of GDV was seen with the consumption of dry foods that listed more than one corn ingredient among the first four label ingredients, while in contrast, a pattern was observed of decreased GDV risk with an increasing number of protein ingredients of animal origin, including beef, poultry, lamb, and fish among the first four ingredients.. STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS * Feed two or more meals a day * Feed no more than one cup per 33 pounds of body weight per meal when feeding two meals a day * Feed an energy-dense diet, to reduce volume, but avoid a diet where a high amount of calories are from fats. * Feed a variety of different food types regularly. The inclusion of human foods in a primarily dry dog food diet was associated with a 59 percent decreased risk of GDV while inclusion of canned pet foods was associated with a 28 percent decreased risk * When feeding dry food, also include foods with sufficient amounts of meats and meat meals, for example: beef, lamb, poultry, and fish.. * Feed a food with larger particles, and include larger pieces of meat to the diet. * Avoid moistening dry foods* If your dog eats rapidly, find ways to try to reduce his speed=2 0of eating * Avoid raising the food bowl – place it at ground level * Try to minimize stress for your dog. Stressful events have been reported to be precipitating factors in GDV occurrence. * Restrict vigorous exercise one hour before and two hours after meals. * When you are not in close proximity to your dog, use a baby monitor to alert you if your dog is in distress. * Learn to recognize signs of GDV, which include pacing and restlessness, head turning to look at the abdomen, distention of the abdomen, rapid shallow breathing, nonproductive attempts at vomiting, and salivation. These symptoms can progress rapidly to shock and death. Get to your veterinarian or emergency hospital the moment you suspect GDV

A long line: using a long line to guide your dogs behavior & use one safely.

Long line, uses, and safety 6 Jan 2010 A long line can be any length, it should be a rope or cord, and not a chain! If you have a small dog a piece of washing line or something similar would do. For a larger dog climbing rope or a strong leash will work. For safety reasons, never leave your dog alone wearing one, this can get caught and can strangle your dog. A long line is a wonderful tool to guide your dog to make the right decisions in your home, and is great with a puppy or new dog of any age. If you have Children make sure that they understand the rules about not pulling the dog, correcting the dog or tying your dog up. Parental supervision is always needed. The line is attached to your dog's/puppy's collar, and the other end is left to trail on the ground. If your dog goes for something that they are not allowed to have or something dangerous, you gently and without a fuss draw them away. Saying nothing, as you would be making something of their behavior, and they will repeat that behavior. If your dog/puppy tries to counter surf, just draw them away, by their not getting a reward, over time they will give up. No correction needed, and no sound made. By saying, "no" or "get down", you made something of their attempt to get their way. Next time they want attention, they will repeat that behavior. If it involves food, of course that is different, as dogs are opportunistic eaters and will try and get food at anytime. We have all heard of dogs that have never gone after food left out, but I have never had one myself! The best thing/easiest thing to do, is to keep the food away from your dogs reach. Some food are deadly to dogs, grapes & chocolate for example. Long lines are great for the outside to, in the back yard guiding them away from your plants/tan bark etc, potty training your dog to go in the right spot. But again, do not leave your dog/puppy alone, or with children who do not know the proper way to treat a dog. Use the long line to guide the behavior that you want, in a gentle way. If you would like more help/advice please call Louise #925-487-9386, or email Louise louise@ebdoglistener.com The Dog Listener.

Some of these dogs and cats are lucky enough to be adopted into loving, responsible, and permanent homes. But there are far more animals in need of a caring family than there are kind people willing to provide them with a good, permanent home.

Bill Bruce & pet ownership.

Displaying the only post.Dog Listener Bay Area CA The Calgary Model The animal control bylaw in Calgary, Alberta, Canada has been hailed by many as a HUGE success. While other cities and provinces in Canada are banning breeds, Calgary is choosing education program and stronger enforcement. What's the end result? By all accounts, reports and statistics, the bylaw is working! Not only that, the bylaw works so well and the results are so highly praised, Calgary is inspiring animal control officials outside of Canada to use the bylaw as a model for their own animal control ordinances. The following is written by Dana Grove: The bylaw officers in Calgary have taken a stand against breed banning, and responded to dog bite concerns with a tougher licensing program and stronger enforcement. The City of Calgary also spends considerable funds on dog safety public awareness and education campaigns. Research shows that just 1 hour of dog safety training in grades 2 and 3 can reduce these attacks by 80%. "We don't punish breeds, we punish behavior," said chief bylaw officer Bill Bruce. "The bottom line is, we believe all dogs are capable of biting." In Calgary, 90 per cent of dogs are licensed, allowing bylaw officers to keep track of pets and owners. The city also has a strict fine structure that includes a $250 penalty for chase incidents and $350 fines for bites. The bylaw also allows the officers to declare specific dogs as “dangerous” and this label brings with it higher license fees, muzzling rules and age restrictions on the dog's handlers. The bylaw states that a dog can only be destroyed by owner request or court order. The county of Newell in Alberta received dozens of letters and e-mails from around the world from people who oppose breed restrictions, said deputy Reeve Jack Harbinson. "We decided after listening to the people, they were right," he said. The success of their actions? Approximately 1000 reported dog bites in 1985 and 260 reported dog bites in 2003. Calgary’s dangerous dog legislation was implemented in response to the bite problem. Dangerous dog, not dangerous breed. The results speak for themselves – a 70% drop in the number of OVERALL dog bites. The measures Calgary has taken have shown results, and set a model and a precedent that should be implemented across Canada. THIS is the model Ontario should be looking at… http://www.bdnhumanesociety.com/calgary _solution.htm Calgary dog attacks fall to lowest level in 25 years City a leader in reducing canine problems, says top bylaw officer By Sean Myers, Calgary HeraldFebruary 21, 2009 Attacks by aggressive dogs are at the lowest level they've been in 25 years despite a steady population growth and the absence of breed-specific legislation brought in to tackle canine issues in other jurisdictions. Despite the low numbers, Calgary's top bylaw officer plans to delve deeper into the causes of dog attacks to try to bring the incidents even lower. "This is exactly what we've been targeting," said Bill Bruce. "Our ultimate goal, of course, is to get it to zero, or as close to that as possible." Bruce said Calgary is a leader in reducing dog attacks in Canada, noting that he often receives invitations from animal services around the world to talk about the work done here to reduce dog bites. Calgary bylaw officers recorded 340 reported aggressive dog incidents in 2008 which included chases, bites and damage to property. Of those, 145 complaints were bites. In 2007, 374 aggressive dog calls were made, including 137 bites, and in 2006, of 402 aggressive dog complaints, 199 were for bites. By comparison, back in 1985, the city received a whopping 1,938 aggressive dog complaints, including 621 bites, at a time when Calgary had a population of just over 600,000. A new pet owner bylaw was brought in three years ago that included stiffer fines and a recognition that aggressive behaviour in dogs is normally traced back to irresponsible owners. Bruce said both the heavier penalties -- ranging from $350 to $1,500, to euthanizing the dog--and the philosophy of blaming bad owners rather than pets has helped reduce incidents. This year, Bruce is launching a pilot project where he'll have six officers dedicated to following up every aggressive dog complaint to identify common factors in attacks that can be addressed in future bylaw enforcement and public education campaigns. "We want to look at everything that led up to an aggressive dog attack," said Bruce. "We're hoping to find four to six common things that people do that causes dogs to bite. Our goal is not to have anyone bitten by a dog." At the same time Bruce investigates softer approaches to addressing pet owner issues, he's also been given a bigger stick with which to penalize chronically non-compliant dog owners. In the fall, bylaw enforcement gained the right to tag a dog as a nuisance pet, which means doubling the fines on the owner. One dog has already received this designation, according to Bruce. Brandy Campbell-Biggs, president of Pit Bulls For Life, a non-profit animal rescue operation geared specifically toward pit bulls, said targeting bad owners instead of stigmatizing entire breeds is the key to reducing aggressive incidents. While dog bites have been going down, the number of pit bulls coming to the city has been increasing, she said. She doesn't know how many there are in the city, but her organization has placed 160 pit bulls in foster homes or with permanent adoptive owners in Calgary over the past three and a half years. Pit Bulls For Life brings the dogs in from jurisdictions with breed-specific legislation that sees many breeds deemed dangers, including pit bulls, targeted for euthanasia. She said 20 per cent of the dogs they help come from Ontario. "We have a lot more pit bulls in Calgary now," said Campbell-Briggs. "Part of the reason is we don't have breed-specific legislation. I'm proud to be a Calgarian because our animal by-law officers deal with specific incidents and don't deal with it as a breed issue. There's no bias and that's so important." Pit Bulls For Life doesn't take in any dogs with histories of aggression toward humans or other animals and says it works with the city bylaw department to educate owners. Canada Post has also noticed a slight reduction in dog incidents involving its letter carriers in Calgary that bucks the trend nationally. From January to August last year, 25 dog incidents were reported by carriers, two of which resulted in time off work. In the same time period in 2007, 28 incidents were reported, with three requiring time away from work. An aggressive dog can lead to an entire block losing mail service until the animal is brought under control. "We have to ensure the safety of our employees--your front step and front yard are our employees'workplace,"said Andrean Wolvers, Canada Post safety manager for Calgary. "We tell our employees when in doubt, get out." Wolvers says partnerships with the city and other organizations that send employees into residential neighbourhoods has helped reduce dog attacks on posties. "The city and Bill Bruce have been very proactive," said Wolvers. The Calgary Humane Society said the working relationship it has with the city is unique in Canada. "We have a very collaborative relation-ship. When we talk to other humane societies, they say we're the only ones they've heard of that have a positive working relationship with the city bylaw department," said Calgary Humane Society spokeswoman Lindsay Jones. "Other cities learn from us and the way we do things here." smyers@theherald.canwest.com htt p://www.calgaryherald.com/Life/Calgary+attack s+fall+lowest+level+years/1313555/story.html Sun, March 18, 2007 Attacks, aggressive dog incidents down UPDATED: 2007-03-18 14:32:23 MST Bylaw boss credits new rules, owner awareness By NADIA MOHARIB, SUN MEDIA The number of aggressive dog incidents in the city is down with officials crediting beefed up bylaws for the decline. The rate of aggression cases between dogs dropped by 56%, from 162 to 72 between 2005 and last year, bylaw boss Bill Bruce told the Sun. Biting incidents are also down by 21% to 199, he added. “It wasn’t all about cats,” he said referring to the city’s highly publicized introduction of a cat bylaw. “We did a lot to change our bylaws.” He said stiff fines for offences combined with increased education likely led to the good news. Owners can face fines of $350 if their dogs bite someone and $750 if that person needs medical attention. An attack can mean a fine of $1,500. Being blamed for a dog on dog attack sees an owner stuck with a $250 fine. “You, as a pet owner are 100 percent responsible,” Bruce said. “It’s not controlling pets, it’s about holding people responsible for their pets.” In the city of Calgary all cats and dogs three months of age and older must have a licence. The penalty for not licensing a cat or dog is $250.00. A animal licence enables Animal Services to return a missing cat or dog as soon as possible to an owner. According to the latest city census there are 92,563 dogs in Calgary up from 83,475 in 1998. The 2001 census showed there were about 90,000 cats, up by nearly 50% from the previous polling of Calgarians. http://calsun.canoe.ca/News/Alberta/2007/ 03/18/3776727.html
