Vudu Do As I Do Training. “Hey, have you heard the one about climate change and dog training?” | The Unexamined Dog. So a man walks into a bar and sees a dog sitting at the counter. He turns to the dog and asks, “So what do you think about all the controversy surrounding the best methods and tools for training dogs?” The dog takes a sip of his beer, briefly licks his butt, and replies, “What controversy?” This past spring, Adam Frank–an astrophysicist–wrote for NPR about a conversation he’d had on a plane with a fellow passenger about the fact that while the public and political spheres continue to argue endlessly about whether or not climate change is real, the scientific community involved in the daily practice of climate study has been working on its consensus piece on the subject for well over a decade.

Recently, while walking around at a summer festival in the small town where we live, I watched a scene unfold before me that I have seen dozens of times. As we stood on the opposite side of the street, waiting for the crosswalk signal, I watched the painfully familiar saga play out before us. Dr. Pension Pour Chiens et Chats.

By Caryl-Rose Pofcher You’ve got a new puppy and are about to start puppy classes (or are planning ahead for your new pup – even better!). You know good puppy classes are an integral part of helping you and your dog invest in a long and harmonious future. Congratulations!

Once you’ve selected a class that meets your needs (see “The Trainer Name Game,” WDJ September 2010, on selecting the right class for you and your dog) and you’ve signed up to ensure your place in class – you are all set, right? Wrong! Puppy classes aren’t magic. Paying attentionIn today’s economy, most of us want to be sure we get the most bang for our bucks and that’s true for the cost of puppy classes. Alertness is critical in any educational setting. Does this sound easy? I don’t need to mention that mobile phones should never be present in class, do I? It’s a treatSpeaking of treats, it’s vitally important that you bring an ample and varied supply to class. 3.10 Le bien-être des animaux | Parti vert du Canada. Tandis que le monde est contre la maltraitance des animaux, les élevages industriels ont été autorisés à faire de la cruauté un problème systémique dans la production de bétail.

Les poulets sont entassés dans des cages exiguës toute leur vie, le bétail est confiné dans des aires d'engraissage, et les porcs sont enfermés toute leur vie dans des cages dont le plancher est fait de lattes de métal. La majorité de nos concitoyens considère que les animaux, sauvages comme domestiques, doivent être traités avec humanité. Les lois fédérales actuelles protègent les animaux des mauvais traitements par le biais du Code criminel, mais les animaux sont considérés comme des biens. Par conséquent, le délit de cruauté envers les animaux est l'un des rares délits qui n'encourent qu'une condamnation sommaire (simple délit, sanctions limitées). D'autre part, le Code criminel mentionne « l'intention de nuire », qui est très difficile à prouver. Les députés verts : Buy Online.

Facial recognition software has played a key role in solving some of the most publicized and critical criminal cases, including the Boston Marathon bombing case that shocked us so recently.

Last Tuesday, this technology was released to dog lovers the world over in the form of a free mobile app, Finding Rover. According to a press release out of San Francisco, More than 10 million pets go missing each year, according to the Humane Society of the United States. Finding Rover's state-of-the-art facial recognition technology helps reunite more dogs with their owners by enabling anyone to instantly identify a missing dog on the spot by taking a photo on a mobile device.

I spoke to CEO and founder of Finding Rover, John Polimeno, about Finding Rover and the adventure that was its creation. If I could use one word to describe Polimeno, it would be "infectious. " WM: I can't even tell you how excited I am about this app. Polimeno: I'm really excited too! WM: That's fantastic. WM: Wow. The Monthly Woof: Creating Positive Associations — Baywoof. People tend to think dog training is both a free service and magical.

Whenever I mention I’m a dog trainer people bring up their dogs’ problems and generally want fast (and free) solutions from me. Of course in reality changing a behavior or teaching a new one takes time, thought, practice, and skill. It’s generally not possible for me to give clear, sound advice in the form of an elevator speech. However, there is one extremely useful gem that I can and will share with you.

Once you are aware of this particular tidbit you’ll have a tremendous amount of training power in your pocket, quite literally. If there is one thing everyone who interacts with dogs should know, it’s that classical conditioning is king. As the great trainer Bob Bailey says, “Pavlov is always on your shoulder.” Essentially, it means that your dog is always making associations between what is happening to him or her and changes in the environment or circumstances.

Understanding Dog Growling and Dog Language. Five things to do when your dog . . . growls at you. By Pat Miller Growling is a valuable means of communication for a dog – something that dog owners should appreciate and respect rather than punish. Of course, we don’t want our dog to growl at us, but neither do we want him to fail to growl if something makes him uncomfortable; that’s very important information in a successful canine-human relationship. It’s very common for dog owners to punish their dogs for growling. Unfortunately, this often suppresses the growl – eliminating his ability to warn us that he’s about to snap, literally and figuratively. On other occasions, punishing a growling, uncomfortable dog can induce him to escalate into full-on aggression. So, if you’re not supposed to punish your dog for growling, what are you supposed to do? 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) Revue Pattes Libres. Bonjour à tous nos lecteurs !

When it's even too hot for a dog to swim outside! Nettoyer les yeux du chien - Hygiène du chien. Quelle que soit la race, les chiens ont une sensibilité particulière au niveau des yeux et cet organe nécessite une attention quotidienne.

Chez les petites races, les canaux lacrymaux des yeux du chien se bouchent fréquemment, ce qui a pour conséquence un écoulement des larmes au coin de l’oeil avec une décoloration des poils. Les soins que vous pourrez apporter aux yeux du chien seront externes et ne vont donc toucher que les structures suivantes : cornée, conjonctive, angles des yeux. Le nettoyage des yeux du chien Les produits à utiliser pour le nettoyage des teux du chien ne sont que des lotions oculaires nettoyantes spécifiques aux chiens ou du sérum physiologique (en dosette unique, cela peut se transporter et se conserver très facilement). Pour éviter les traînées inesthétiques, il faut nettoyer l’œil tous les jours avec une compresse imbibée d’un antiseptique oculaire et non un coton qui laisse des filaments au niveau des cils.

The first, or undercoat, are the fine, fluffy hairs that are short and crimp (closest to the skin). It's the fur that sheds; light and soft. This layer is excellent at trapping air and insulating the dog. Essentially it keeps them warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. The topcoat is made up of tougher guard hairs that don’t shed, and protect your pet from the sun’s harmful rays and bug bites. A key piece of understanding in this matter is that, unlike humans; dogs do not cool themselves through their skin. Some other common reasons folks shave their doubled coated dogs are the thinking that the animal will stop shedding.

Another is, "it'll always grow back". In conclusion, when you shave a double coated dog, you may irreparably impair their ability to properly heat/cool themselves and protect their skin. Dogs may understand human point of view. Domestic dogs are much more likely to steal food when they think nobody can see them, suggesting for the first time that dogs are capable of understanding a human's point of view. Many dog owners think their pets are clever or that they understand humans but, until now, this has not been tested by science.

Dr Juliane Kaminski, of the University of Portsmouth's Department of Psychology, has shown that when a human forbids a dog from taking food, dogs are four times more likely to disobey in a dark room than a lit room, suggesting they take into account what the human can or cannot see. Dr Kaminski said: "That's incredible because it implies dogs understand the human can't see them, meaning they might understand the human perspective. " This is the first study to examine if dogs differentiate between different levels of light when they are developing strategies on whether to steal food. It is published in the journal Animal Cognition. Helpful Animal Links - DOG WILLING     Positive Dog Training Solutions. When Your Teeth Hurt, Do You Call a Plumber? | pawsforpraise. Yes, this is a serious question. When your teeth hurt, do you call a plumber? Of course not, you call a dentist. But, do you call a dentist who would use wooden teeth to replace the rotted ones he might extract from a patient’s mouth?

If you have a training or behavior problem with your dog and you call your friend, watch a TV show, ask your dog’s breeder, pick a trainer from the list your rescue or vet gave you without checking their credentials or auditing a class, or buy a dog training book from the average bookstore, you are doing the equivalent of going to an 18th century dentist and expecting him to know how to straighten your teeth when braces haven’t even been invented yet, or asking a plumber to fill the cavity in your left premolar. Finding a dog trainer who will not hurt your dog, either physically or EMOTIONALLY, is not easy.

Years ago, most trainers were using some form of compulsion from leash pops to helicoptering. Like this: Like Loading... Watch This Dog Pounce On His Shadow.

If you love California wines, I now have still another reason for you to love your dog. We know that dogs sniff out drugs and bombs – but here’s a new one…In California, dogs are sniffing to keep your cost of red wine down. They’re being taught to sniff out mealybugs, they are the latest threat to the industry’s push toward sustainable organic farming practices.

When the microscopic mealy’s feed, they excrete a sugary substance called honeydew which encourages the growth of a nasty mold. And it’s that mold that’s the real problem. Rather than spray the crop with equally nasty pesticides – the dogs identify the bugs, and those vines are removed. So, time next you enjoy a fine California wine, offer a toast and to your dog.
