Let’s try a little bit to understand why the attacks of pets on their own masters occurs. Who is to blame? May be it is breed?

The legislation of many countries has decided to do it very simple - to prohibit certain “objectionable”, or as considered socially dangerous breeds. Somehow, under the Central Asian shepherd dogs and Schnauzers, and black terriers fell in the brand. It seems that the officials have simply decided to deny the dog breeding with working breeds. Maybe a German shepherd will be banned!?

When broadcasting of the attack of a dog on a child, I have some questions that are unlikely to get answers.
First question - the dog lived for 6 years, and with no reason whatever attacked this child, isn`t it!?
The second question - the dog “waited” a year to pounce on the child?!
Third question - where were the parents at the time of the attack?!
Question of the fourth - the adequacy of the owners, who strangled and hanged their dog!? And proudly demonstrated to the whole country hanging an animal!? What they can grow from a dog!?

Some breeds have a number of specifics in education and growing. Inexperienced owner are not recommended to begin the experience with dog breeds as follows - Staf-terrier, pit bull terrier, bull terrier, Rottweiler, Bourboule, mastino napoletano, Bull Mastiff and others. The education and growing of these breeds differ from the growing of poodle, boxer, dog, Golden and other companion dogs. BUT: robust and well bred dogs of these breeds have become darlings of the same family, as well as other breeds and also played with the children so as walked, guarded the house and the hosts. So what’s the problem?!

But the problem is in the incompetence in the breeders who sell dogs and owners who bought at the loud ads like - “Pit-Bull - is the best nanny for your child!”, “Staf-terrier – is a friend and defender of you and your baby!” etc. Seeing this many people become in the joy that their child will grow under the protection of a such good dog, but the fact that this dog should grow up and be properly brought up, before it becomes a friend and defend for the child, they do not think!

Here’s an example - “Puppies of bull terrier from Champions parents “and the phone number. I called.

Dialogue:
-Hello! And what the bloody of your puppies?
-We do not know, some gave us the girl, and its father works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the wanted list. Puppies without pedigree. But if you need pedigree – will make it and you will be able to display it!!
-And how mother treats children!?
-Yeah. She lives outside the city, in the barn. Children come to her normally, but it does not let men go in, it rushes. Although no one had taught it, but it is very well guarding. And the price is acceptable!

Question: what will grow out of these puppies!? Personally, I would be afraid to take a puppy from such pair of parents to my child. Although I have experience with “bulls”, and I trained Shepherd, when I was 16 years old!

While educating and teaching a dog, many trainers underestimate the role of random factors that have, nevertheless, a strong impact on the animal. Contrary to a popular postulate of the theory of conditioned reflex activity, which argues that in order to develop a conditioned reflex, 30-40 combinations of stimuli (that are effects) in certain conditions are needed, an impact that is long delayed in the memory of the dog is quite enough sometimes. Simply put, a dog can remember some things not worse than human. Sometimes once happened events can completely change the behavior of dogs in any given situation, and this must be taken into account in the daily controlling of the animals.

A kennel is located in the corner of the territory of one of the military units. Due to lack of space, it has found itself next to a warehouse of fuel and lubricants. Ensign who is the senior instructor, has organized the cleanup. He “could not” find the better place for burning leaves than the one near the fence of his kennel, which also served as a fence of a fuel storage. When the Chief of the fuel, that is to say Major-Vietnamese, saw the fire, he uttered one of the best war speeches, showing a remarkable possession of intonation, gestures, as well as the great and mighty English language. Of course, we can understand the companion, because he had seen flying after the explosion burning tanks at the war.

Working dogs were following closely the mentioned monologue from the enclosure. One of those dogs, that is to say was the absolutely sane male of German shepherd, caught the Chief of fuel and tore its jacket two weeks later. It should be noted that the dog worked on drugs, so its aggression had been being trampling from the puppyhood (a special dog should not jump on people, because it has to work in public places). Of course, everybody became reconciled in the end.

Is it possible to predict the behavior of dogs, which is seemed to all people as the wild and unpredictable? Of course it is, if you do not wait for 30-40 repeats from the major’s side, and suggest the presence of elementary rational activity and a good memory of a dog.

Many everyday situations form the dog’s behavior, even if the trainer does not pay attention to them. Not necessarily aggression arises, as in the case described above. The same firmly the reaction of fear or avoidance of certain subjects may appear, if the dog is frightened. A tram, which has frightened puppy, not only generates fear in relation to this type of transport, but also the fear of certain places and sounds. If your pet play with other dogs during the walk, then the next time he will definitely try to come running to this place, surprising you by its sudden uncontrolling. The dog just remember where it was so interesting, and strives to check this place again.

Even unturned Oporto objects in the place of walking or a delicacy once found, all these events cause the dog to return to a familiar place again and again.

Everything that has a strong effect on the nervous system leaves a trace in the memory of the dog. Therefore watch, try to think like a dog. Remember that every animal’s behavior has its cause.

When developing tenacity, trainers often face the problem of premature of the dog darting away. Sometimes the animal darts away when you depart from it, but in most cases it happens after the approach, or at the time of encouraging. The dog may get up, it may walk up to meet you a couple of steps, or simply sit closer. All this “lubricates” the exercise of skill and reduces reliability. One technique that allows making the tenacity proper is the use of so-called “provocation”. The essence of the trick is that we deliberately provoke the dog dart away, ensuring that animal get away from the place only under the “next” command.

When should I start to use “provocation”?

You can start using this technique, as soon as the dog become accustomed to seating, and you began to step aside from it on 1 or 2 steps, get back to the dog and encourage it. If you can do this trick, and the dog does not jump up, then it’s time to move on to the “provocation”.
• Stage One

Perform skill of seating with stepping aside from a dog on 1 or 2 steps and with tenacity of 3-5 seconds. If the dog tries to stand up, feed the command “sit” and quickly put the dog on the spot where it stood from. Come back, stand next to the dog and encourage it. After the promotion, take the leash in your hand, stand up so that the dog was sitting near your left leg. And make bold move forward then with a look as if you began to move, forgetting to say “next”.

I have not seen even one untaught dog, which would not dart away at this point. It is important to put the dog on the place immediately, giving the command “sit” and applying the mechanical stimuli. Try to step forward again. In the first stage you do not need to pull the leash, let it be swayed. If you do everything right, and clearly correct a dog’s mistake, after two or three repeats your pet will sit still then. Step back, and encourage it again.

Remember that the most important thing is to simulate the beginning of the motion qualitatively without giving the command “next”. The dog quickly learns to wait for the command “next” and does not move whatever you provoke her.

• Step Two
In order to achieve a trouble-free tenacity, it is not enough to make a step forward. At the second stage you are just starting the movement, but also stretch the leash. Now, when a mechanical stimulus (tension leash) acts toward a dog, your pet may dart away again. Again, adjust it. After two or three classes a dog learns to respond with indifference, not only for the tension of the leash, but also quite sensitive jerks.

Anyone thinking about buying a dog this Christmas should take the time to think about what exactly they’re letting themselves in for. Too many people buy a puppy and then find 6 months later that they can’t handle it anymore and they inevitably end up handing it in to a shelter. Sometimes, the outcome is even worse and some dogs just get sent out onto the streets. Naturally, this is a harrowing thought for pet lovers out there, but it is still a reality.

The moral of this day really is that a dog is for life and not purely for Christmas. There are boyfriends out there that will be buying their girlfriend a pet for Christmas, but you have to make sure the pet is going to have a long and happy life in the home. However, the best advice is to never buy a pet as a Christmas gift. The reason is due to the high number of people that split up in the New Year and they view the pet they have been given as a token of past affection. They don’t want to see the animal and the pet then gets treated very badly. It is sad that this happens, but pets should never be associated with the person that bought it. The pet is a family member in its own right.

Better dog health care knowledge is one of the best ways to make sure the dog doesn’t get sent to a shelter in the New Year. Learn about what the dog needs and how it needs affection just like everyone else in the family. Cuddle it, train it properly from puppy age and feed it what is vet-recommended food. Spend some time with your dog and swot up on dog health care tips so that the chances of it ending up onto the streets are less likely, as you understand what it takes to care for your pooch. There are so many abandoned pets in the country that its time people started to learn about what it takes to raise a dog, so more end up with loving homes rather than no home at all. Pets only make good Christmas presents when the dog health care is considered, and if not, don’t buy one.

Dog’s obedience in the initial laying schooling

The laying is a trick, which causes greatest difficulties for many novice trainers. Often one can observe now, when the dog is rather good in the basic skills such as moving side by side, landing, staying. Self-control progresses here, all is ok with Oporto, but the dog keeps on refusing lie. Many books describe how to accustom the dog to the lying. They are based on the use of food motivation (food method of dog training), the mechanical action (mechanical method) or a combination of mechanics and food stimuli (contrast method). But the use of food motivation is not effective for every dog and does not provide reliability. When there are the slightest attempts of application of mechanical stimuli, the thing happens that animal encounters it with unexpected resistance. Dog can not be pressed hard on the withers in such case, it turns over on its back or tries to escape and jump aside. Often animal growls, resorts to the teeth, and even the five-month puppies can make this!

What is the reason for this behavior? Why the same lying by mechanical method does not cause much difficulty, although it applies no less harsh impact?

The fact that the description of laying technique, which can be found in the literature, is given without regard to hierarchical and gregarious behavior.

What is laying in the social behavior of the animal? Lying is a behavior that demonstrates a complete subordination to a higher rank. If the animal loses while the conflict inside of a troop, it always falls and does it often on the back. Sudden menacing cry of owner often makes a controlled dog lie down, and it is not necessary to conduct training here. Another thing is that at this moment the dog is lying in a wrong way, not fulfilling the respective norm, but that is another question. The leader or just someone who stands higher in the hierarchy of the troop always tries to be higher, forcing the opponent to pull over to the ground. Recall that during a walk the strongest and most “brazen” animals lay its head on the backs of other dogs and bitten them for their withers, or simply rudely knock to the ground and press others to the ground.

Laying skill under the command is a peculiar indicator, demonstrating the subordination of your pet.

While they are growing and maturing, it often happens that the dogs try to “check you for lice” when your pet is trying to verify the strength of relationships and where possible to correct them, naturally, at its own discretion. This is especially true for males, whose nature makes them take steps to obtain the status of the leader from time to time. The first thing that a dog begins in such a case - it ceases to lie down. If you can to fit your pet’s only with voice in any situation, this is one of the clearest indications that you are perfectly controlling the dog (I mean, of course, if speak about a trained animal).

I was an honest to goodness novice at fishing. Unlike my new Ivy League buddies’ dads, mine had no interest whatsoever in fishing; hence, I was never really exposed to it at a young age like they were. I actually would not have had the courage to join their trip out to sea without this level of comfort afforded by my Saltiga Surf 30. This lightweight and durable piece of equipment has been handed down to me by my uncle who firmly believed the Daiwa Saltiga 30T could make me look like a pro. How right he was indeed. I was casting and reeling like I had done this many times in the past. Without going deeper than 300 feet, I was making my mark as a respectable angler with this excellent Daiwa Saltiga 30T.

A former colleague who has settled in the Caribbean has invited me for a trip to Sydney then onto Queensland to visit the Great Barrier Reef. I took this to mean a long fishing trip along the coast, so I proceeded to prepare my gear. The Penn 965 went in first, of course. It is ideal for back bays and offshore fishing. It handles snapper and redfish fairly easily. While I through to bring the Penn 975 as well for larger fish, I expect the Penn 965 fishing reel would be what I would be using most of the time. Personally, the Penn 965 is my preferred gear. It’s lightweight and easy to cast – perfect for a casual trip along the waters of Australia’s east coast.
