Currently I Am Going Through A Bit Of A Transition. Recently

Getting control of your dog is not hard to do nowadays with all the books, articles, documentaries, interviews, and television shows like the Dog Whisperer and Parolees and Pit Bulls, there is always room to learn something new in dog psychology.

As pet owners of a thirteen year old dog, my husband and I face a difficult decision moving forward. It is our responsibility

Training your dog is the most important part of canine companionship. A happy dog is one who has structure and boundaries. Dogs are pack animals, and as such, they need guidance in the behavior that you expect from them. If you don't follow through in this leadership role, then the dog will naturally feel as if it is his place to do so. A dog that understands that you are the leader will naturally be easier to train.

A team or organization looks to the leader as someone the expert. A leader who is self-confident and enthusiastic has the ability to connect with the team. There is a level of trust being built because the leader believes in him/herself. There are times I second-guess or underestimate myself. A couple years ago I took an Emergency Medical Technician Basic course and during a practical test I was instructed to splint a hypothetical broken femur. I began the procedure and decided to start over halfway through the test because I doubted my skills. The instructor stopped me and instructed me to continue. After I completed the procedure the test instructor had told me that I had been doing the procedure correct the entire time and I need to be more confident in my

Patience is a very important quality to posses when it comes to dog training. It might take to a child months to learn the ABC's as well as for a dog to develop a new skill. It is important to remember that each dog is different, for some it might take one class and for some more. Some dogs will be driven by treats and some by a game. It is essential to find what makes them feel good, to help them recognize that they did right. It is important to commit to the process and to make sure that everyone of the family are engaged in the process, not to provide mixed signals to the

The next skill I think a dog needs to have is a sense of calmness. From the article Service Dogs, Patients Bond Through

When I was a child I lived in a rather desolate area. We were the only house on our lonely street. Now you may think, “ Wow he must have been rather bored without any children to play with.” I would have to tell you that you are incorrect. While I had no human companionship, I had wonderful pets that were my most dear friends. I have shown a love for animals from a young age and that feeling has not changed with age. While other children were out playing with their friends, I was found in our backyard playing with my dogs. I was as happy as i could possibly be when I was with them. These experiences I had in our house on that lonely street have sparked my interest in becoming a dog trainer.

Leadership is in many ways a responsibility, whether it’s an appointed job as a leader or a role you find yourself in unexpectedly you must perform adequately not just to accomplish the given task but to also have those following you achieve a given goal. Some are natural born leaders, taking responsibilities for self, never pointing fingers and possessing the ability to find solutions to the obstacles that arise. Others can learn how to lead and achieve the same results. In the medical field, when we look to our leaders it is so that they can lead us to be able to provide and deliver safe quality

Since a young age I have struggled with depression, anxiety, and mild PTSD but I’ve been able to get myself to a place where I can live my life without too much trouble. However, I know some people need help and cannot overcome these issues by themselves, and this is why the need service animals. Originally, I wanted to join a company that trains service dogs are a career, but I soon realized that those program dogs are very expensive, and not everyone has the ability to have well trained program dogs. This sparked the idea for me to start my own small breeding and training program, since I had already wanted to breed smooth collies anyway. Since I am an independant breeder and trainer, I would be able to charge less for the dog and it’s training.

Confidence is a key characteristic of leaders. Showcasing confidence in front of my colleagues, peers and professors will prove how assure and confident I am in what I am discussing. Displaying confidence during the acceptance interviews for optometry schools will showcase my knowledge. Finally, having leadership skills once I am an optometrist will help me mentor other students who are interested in becoming an

After thirteen months of training and doing everything imaginable together, Flint went to further training in New York. At first, I held it together, I wanted to be strong for Flint, and I did not want those around me thinking I was selfish. However, hugging Flint for the last time triggered the flood of tears streaming down my face. I remember thinking “how am I going to move on without my dog.” After a few days had passed, I had the opportunity to watch Flint’s evaluation to see if he would become a guide dog. I remember sitting in the back of the room, cringing at every mistake he made, because I knew that he was better than he was showing. During the test, they placed Flint in harness, as if he was leading a blind person, and my mood instantly shifted. I knew at that exact moment that I had raised a puppy with a purpose, and that he was not my dog, and he had to make a difference if another person’s life. Realizing Flint’s purpose was an event that transitioned me into an adult. I realized that I was selfish for thinking that Flint was my dog, and that it was acceptable to cry. Giving back to my community and helping someone else made me a better person than before. I now have an eleven week old yellow lab sitting next to me, training to be someone’s

The dog becomes the child’s constant companion, the sense of loneliness is taken away from the child. The children in these cases reported increased physical independence and freedom from relying on others to assit in daily tasks (Davis 136). The dogs undergo serious training before being placed with the child. Sometimes the dog and child would actually meet weeks leading up to the placement to warm up to eachother before permanent placement. The parent is the primary handler, the dog is trained to guide the child but ultimately take orders or listen to the parent. The dog is tethered to the child by a harness and put on a leash that the parent carries, this gives the child freedom and the parent security, the dog controls the child from darting off.

I have several leaders on my job. The one leader I have in my is my assistant Director of Nursing. The leader according to www.endeaver.org/network Don’t walk her talk “There are some leaders who are tremendous talkers. They can “wax eloquently” on most any subject and they inspire confidence with their bond pronouncements. The issue arises when all the hyperbole does not coincide with reality and specifically, when the leader displays behavior that is inconsistent with what he or she is “preaching”. Leaders, as persons who are supposed to inspire confidence, like it or not, are held to a higher standard. If you aspire to be a “great leader,” it’s important that you “walk your talk”. Don’t make the eloquent pronouncements, then contradict

Any training you do with your dog is at your own risk and may produce varied results”. (Cesar 911 latest, 2016) Cesar helps to rehabilitate aggressive, food aggressive and nervous dog in America that other dog trainers would be to scare to help. He has help many dog’s lives, to help the dog owners to give the dogs another chance before the decide to put the dog down or bring the dog to a rescue centre which would most likely then still must put the dog

It is often said that a dog is a man’s best friend. In the last 14,000 years, dogs have accompanied man by helping him hunt, guard, and protect. In our modern world, dogs help us combat in war, search-and-rescue, guide the blind, deaf, discapacitated, rehabilitate patients in therapy, aid law enforcement, and are part of our family as beloved pets (Coren). Although canine superstars such as Lassie, Old Yeller, and Rin Tin Tin portray the perfect dog we all want in our lives, these ideals are far from the truth. Many first-time dog owners expect dogs to know behaviors such as how to walk on a leash, not bite, not destroy the house, and in addition to many others. In reality, dogs must be trained on what their handler wants them to do. It is
