Ken Ramirez - Secrets to Being a Great Trainer!
This seminar is designed for the both the beginner and the experienced trainer. Ken will share information about the science of learning theory, but more importantly, he will explain how to use those principles in practical every day applications. Ken’s seminars are full of practical and useful information for trainers at all levels and are designed to be both fun and inspirational. Why Training Matters – An introduction to the non-trainer or basic beginner to the field about the philosophy behind having a training program with your pets. Training 101 – A Practical Look at the Science– A broad overview of operant conditioning and how to apply it in practical everyday training programs. Reinforcement Strategies–This seminar delves deeper into many topics, including a discussion of what is a “positive reinforcement trainer” and what are the basic reinforcement keys that all trainers should keep in mind. A significant part of the seminar will focus on non-food reinforcers, reinforcement variety, and evaluation of reinforcers – with particular emphasis on the importance of strategic implementation of any new reinforcement plan. This is a core competency for trainers at all levels and this seminar is suited for all training levels. Evolution of the Modern Trainer–A Personal Perspective”– Ken will look at the changes that have taken place in the training community through his own unique personal perspective as a zoological trainer and dog trainer. LOCATION Radisson Hotel 2303 N. Mayfair Road Milwaukee, WI 53226 REGISTRATION DEADLINE Friday, February 25, 2010. $95 Date: Saturday, March 5, 2011 Time: 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. You can purchase tickets online by visiting http://savinglives.wihumane.org/site/Calendar/26254921?view=Detail&id=122821

"OVER CROWDING!!!!!
THE URGENT ANIMALS WILL BE FIRST TO GO! LIBERTY COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL DEATH-ROW ANIMALS HINESVILLE,GEORGIA If you would like to adopt one of the animals below, please contact newbeginningsanimalrescue@gmail.com or Jen at jen.ellis88@yahoo.com Darby, the Mountain Cur mix! URGENT!!!!!!!! Darby is only medium in size and should not grow much bigger. She is young; I assume under a year old and came in with a pretty pink collar on. She is sharing her cell with 2 Black Labrador mixes, which she gets along with great until treats get involved. I don’t know why, but Darby will defend her treats or toys fiercely. Maybe it’s because she is not used to sharing or it’s because she never got any treats or had any toys. Other than that, Darby is precious. She also has another feature I must mention. Darby can jump very high. She likes to jump on the 4 foot wall in her cell and look out into the back field to see what is going on back there. Anyone adopting her would have to have a 6 foot fence to keep her in. Also, I believe she would do great in agility if someone is interested in that.

I hope some of you fellow dog-lovers might be interested in our new book, Todo in Tuscany. It's basically the story of the three years we spent in our new home in Italy, which we bought because of the dog who already lived there! His owner had died a couple of years before and he refused to leave so became our dog and we adored him. The book is published by Hodder & Stoughton in the UK and is now available in shops and through the usual online sellers, Amazon, etc. You can find out more at www.todointuscany.co.uk and he has a Facebook page, www.facebook.com/TodoinTuscany Many thanks!

12 Yard Productions are making a brand new series for ITV2 called ‘Top Dog Model’ which will bring together the glamorous world of modelling with Britain's love of dogs - it will be a fun, stylish, mainstream entertainment show in a primetime ITV2 slot transmitting this autumn.
We’re putting out a dog whistle to the 8 million UK dog owners and their pooches – from Labradoodles to Lurchers, perfectly preened to superbly scruffy, everything in between and beyond. We want to include dogs of all types – mongrels, rare breeds, cross-breeds, whatever! All shapes and sizes are welcome but it’s not lovely looks alone that will crown our furry favourite because personality and star quality will need to shine through too! Prized pets will go head-to-head through a series of special modelling challenges and feature weekly eliminations by our panel of judges who will analyse the hounds’ hottest headshots and eliminate the weakest performer, ultimately leading to one lucky dog being crowned the country's Top Dog Model and possibly becoming the new face of a major brand. We will be holding our first auditions in EARLY JUNE. We really want to get the word about the amazing opportunity to as many dog owners as possible. If you would like an application form please email topdogmodel@12yard.com Please do not hesitate to contact us on the above address if you would like any more information about the series. Download our flyer, and please feel free to pass it on to anyone you think might be interested. http://tinyurl.com/topdogmodel For more details and how to apply email us today at topdogmodel@12yard.com Or visit: www.12yard.com All applicants must be 18 years of age or over and be currently resident and living in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. Applications are subject to the terms and conditions in the application form. |

after neutering my rescue yellow lab marley, 21/2 seems to be slowing down just a bit and appears to be more trainable. it is probably not that he is growing up but that we have bonded so ENORMOUSLY that he is more eager to please and less apt to be stubborn and contrary. now a couple socialization classes with other dags and i think we might just have the best dog in town. at least in my heart!

We sent our dog to Canine Clips(13/05/11) for his annual hair cut. Latter that night our dog was in great pain in his groin area and anus. He had severe razor burn on his testicles, foreskin and anus. Our little guy, has not been able to rest until Sunday night when I obtained some Calendula salve, which provided relief. Yet if I could afford a trip to a Vet, I would get our dog examined, and charge these people with animal cruelty ! but I'm on a pension, and can not afford it. Thankfully I'm an amateur Herbalist, and could take care of my little baby, relive his pain.
But this Canine Clips is supposed to be a Professional Dog & Cat Groomer? Who regulates these so called Professional Groomers ? They hurt my Dog ! What can be done to insure that they don't do this to another pet ! There is NO WAY he would willing allow anyone to do that to his grown area, without being held and forced. This is torturous treatment for any Man or Beast ! I contacted them, and they told me our Dog, maybe having an allergic reaction(Ya and I was born yesterday !) they offered a tube of cream to help. lol Canine Clips 416 691 2882 1582 Queen Street East Toronto, On.

and not just this dog all dogs that could be killed just because of how they look http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Lennox/125005200853097
Lennox is a loveable 5 year old family member. He's an American Bull dog Labrador cross that we have owned since he was a little pup. As responsible dog owners that also foster for numerous Northern Ireland dog shelters we had Lennox as a young pup Micro chipped, Neutered, DNA Registered, Pet Safe Registered, Insured and Licensed every year with the Council without fail. On Wednesday the 19th May 2010 he was taken from our family home by Belfast City Council as they believe he falls under the dangerous dogs act for Northern Ireland. The Council, without seeking any proper professional guidance declared Lennox to be a breed of "Pit Bull Type" and so they wish to kill him simply because he has the appearance of said breed. The Belfast City Council took Lennox from his loving family home using a wrongly addressed warrant and using copyright ADBA (American Dog Breeders Association) breed standards guide which the Council were never authorised to use, in doing so the Council broke international copyright laws and for doing so have recently been issued with a 'Cease & Desist' order from ADBA Inc. Lennox has never attacked anyone or anything yet the Council have removed him from his home where he lives with my Husband, myself, our 11 year old disabled Daughter, his kennel mate Juicy a 2 year old female boxer and various foster dogs. Belfast City Council are pressuring our family to sign him over to them to be destroyed however we feel the need to fight his case, he cannot speak but we will be his voice! If this was a human we would declare this racism. We ask every kind hearted compassionate person for your support, don't let them murder him. This may be our dog today but it could be your best friend tomorrow! Please visit Lennox's main website for further ways in which you can help. |

dog training show be started immediately when you bring home your dog, Set boundries and show the puppy you are the boss. Gentle but firm. This helps gain respect and also will help the dog to relax due to a structured leadership in the new pack. Training early is the key.

Some things are too horrific to consider, and yet consider them we must. "Crush videos," for instance. Somehow I missed the 1999 law, recently nullified by the U.S. Supreme Court that attempted to outlaw crush videos -- definition forthcoming pending recovery from horror-induced swoon. Thus, for the past 11 years, I have been blissfully ignorant of a level of depravity I haven't the imagination to invent From The Detroit News: http://www.detnews.com/article/20100503/OPINION03/5030313/Fix-needed-for-animal-cruelty-video-law#ixzz0mqdx5IQn
