gladly trade opisałabym male - female, because in this "field" I see a lot of cultural differences. But for now, the scandal did not need, so I hang on the ledge;)
February was marked by rain, szałowych kaloszków - in San Francisco there is an interesting fashion rubber boots, rain and the girls just jump in colorful kaloszki:) and intensive work with dogs of different and of different breeds century.
I can not finish a post that I started to write more than a week ago. Post relates to Mitch, my fabulous dog, which rehabilitated and trained under the apprenticeship. Mitch's story to be published in a newspaper, but still we lack the end, that is the American ideal adoptive family and the Polish ideal of the owner. And I think that is what prevents me from publishing this post. "Vacancy" takes place, so I hope that Mitchie soon move to their new home.
In February, the practice took place in a kindergarten for puppies up to 6 m-ca life.
owners from graduates of the Academy are also very happy to have agreed to the experimental training. Puppies are received by employees from their homes between kindergarten hours. 10 and 12, usually 3 people objeżdżają San Francisco. Ok. hours. 12 all are in place and puppies divided into 4 groups begin a two-hour Harc. It sounds innocent, almost sweet, playing with puppies, what a delightful sight. Faces of angels, the souls of devils:)
Working at top speed, because the puppy still gets into some fights, fights, discussions, it is afraid, that pleased the victim and constantly attacking the same dog, different does not allow other dogs to the bowl with water, etc.. Clearly umaszczone puppies are still smeared with blood, because in the play are lost mleczaki:) The first day I left with a headache, which I really rarely happens.
But the place is phenomenal, it's hard to imagine a better socialization in this super important for a dog run. All coaches send their puppies to the nursery (the only such specialized facility in SF). Sometimes the children are invited in the educational programs for schools and train puppies, and by the way everyone uses a lot of fun and great. Children learn how to deal with dogs, which allowed and what is not allowed to do. It is also an excellent therapy for those children who are afraid of dogs. And puppies are getting familiar with the children, some are raised in homes without children, and thus complement your dog's education.
training with a single puppy does not differ so much from the training (eg learning commands) with an adult dog. But training a puppy is surrounded by 15 other puppies, this is already a challenge. The main emphasis is put on the dog manners with other dogs, a nice welcome, nice fun without such jerks behind the ear or catching the teeth by the scruff of the neck and another attempt to drag the dog across the room.
not tolerate too selfish behavior, that is, guarding toys, people, a bowl of water, another dog. As part of the puppy classes at night or during weekends to different schools where they learn commands (sit / stand / lie down, leave it), coming on command, etc.., Here is practicing with them on the occasion of fun.
working with the puppies, watching their different styles of play, conduct, you can learn a lot about body language of dogs, which helps a lot when working with adult dogs.
In my case, working with a group of puppies was a prelude to a further stage experience - working with a group of dogs (dogs 8 -10) on the outside. From Thursday accompany Natalie, who has a fairly large company dealing with Exit dogs. On Thursday, it came back with a headache:) Occupation
so much harder, that we are dealing with adult dogs. The first challenge is a complete tour of all the houses and collect all the passengers, so that when the opportunity to pick up a new dog did not escape us different. Puppies are traveling in conveyances, adult dogs loose. And we're in the U.S., we are talking about traveling in vans and truckach.
Some dogs traveling from the front (ie on the seat behind the driver), because antagonize the rest, still barking, etc.. Natalie takes her dogs to Fort Funston. A huge area - the park over the ocean, a very popular place among the dog walkers (people known to Exit dogs). Beautiful park and great views. And hundreds of dogs. Here, I found out that it is sometimes difficult to use positive methods and penalties consisting of a short retreat (called time out) when you are under the care of 10 dogs, one is in the open air, surrounded by plenty of dog walkers with similar numbers groups. Dogs without a leash, some of these "tumor seeking" new dogs and usually have pinned leash to have more control over them in the event of bad behavior or willfully depart from the group. After 1.5 hours the dogs are rushing, tired and happy. And we together with them:)
