Train by Proxy

We have a situation here that requires astute improvisation to bring about a satisfactory conclusion.

Say, there is this dog from hell, the neighborhood bully and full-time intimidator. It never seems to cease from barking ( barking can be good, it's a dog thing) and constantly chases the kids in the neighborhood. It terrorizes the mailman. the delivery man, the utility man and just about everyone it comes into contact with. It's an equal opportunity terrorist.

It's not getting any better the owner of the dog is also out of control. He is extremely loud, foul-mouthed, quick-tempered and very cantankerous. He is also extremely unapproachable.

After careful scrutiny, one might surmise that both the dog and it's owner attended the same finishing school. THE SCHOOL OF MISANTHROPY.

Fortunately, there is a well-liked kid next door who seems to have some magical way of neutralizing their over the top behavior. Around him the dog does seem less aggressive and shows some signs of normalcy. The owner is also at his best behavior in the company of the kid. He is probably their only friend.

WISH ME LUCK, I will now attempt to give the kid the necessary instructions that are required to train the dog to be less menacing and more friendly. After the dog successfully completes it's training and becomes a dog with normal behavior.I strongly believe that the 'Domino Effect Theory" will kick in, as a matter of fact I am certain that it will. The "Domino Effect" will have an enormous effect on the dog, so much so that the dog will have no choice but to train it's owner to be a better person.

Dogs Will Be Dogs And Cats Meow

Posted Sunday, September 14, 2008 (1 year 71 days ago.) Viewed 21 times.

Dogs will instinctively try to protect or warn you when there is danger. Some dogs are fearless and will ferociously defend their owners by sacrificing their own lives.

Dogs are multi-faceted action heroes. Some dogs are trained to safely guide the blind from place to place, to secure perimeters as guard dogs, to control large numbers of animals, such as cows, sheep, etc.

In certain very cold remote areas dogs are trained to haul sledges -- often the only means of transportation.

Dogs do magnificent jobs in Law Enforcement. They are trained to detect cocaine, marijuana and other illegal drugs.

In Forensics, they sniff out bombs, the presence of blood, dead bodies and follow scents leading to the apprehension of many bad people.

In the field of Medicine, dogs can be used to detect cancer in human beings.

The list of a dog's accomplishments seems never-ending. It is extraordinary

how proficient dogs can be and this is shown in many different ways.

Each and every contribution dogs have made to help mankind is remarkable and I could go on and on. However, a Dog's role as a pet is undoubtedly the greatest of all and will remain unsurpassed. The lives of many dog owners would be incomplete without their dogs. Dog-gone it.

Dogs are loved. They are indeed man's best friend.

While we celebrate our devotion and love for our pets, there is an issue we should contemplate. Here it is.

All animals, dogs and cats in particular have their instinctive behavior which should remain as is, this is just an opinion.

We should not strive to modify a dog's natural instinct to bark, or growl or whine, or the cat's meow. Let the dogs bark and the cats meow, this is how they communicate, just as a baby uses cry before it achieves the ability to speak. Let's all join in and strongly proclaim "Pet Power is in the House". Thank you. Thank you.

However, dog training and dog grooming is very important and should be a priority.

Successful dog training is very satisfying. It generates a strong sense of accomplishment which is shared between owner and pet. It is not difficult and the process is very straight-forward. A little extra patience is required and selecting the most suitable training method for a specific dog is a major step in successfully accomplishing the task. Several methods may be used to train a dog. The most popular being the "Treat Reward System", followed by the "Praise Reward System" and a few others. They all consist of simple instructions which are quite easy to follow.

The importance of grooming your pet should not be overlooked. All pets should be groomed on a regular basis and pets with long hair require more frequent attention. Regular grooming not only keeps you and your pet happy as he/she shows off a well maintained coat but it also helps to detect health issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Daily grooms are suitable for pets to protect their coats from being damaged. Long ungroomed hair is unattractive, unhealthly and unsafe. If your dog's hair is not regularly combed and/or brushed, it could

quite easily become entangled with objects that the pet come in contact with and result in serious injury.

Regular grooming also creates a bond with the pet and also helps to reinforce obedience.

Finally, if you pet barks, growls or whines for reasons that are beyond human comprehension. It's ok, it's alright.

Always remember that dogs will be dogs and cats meow.
