Email: Dog Information: Biggest Dog Most Mysterious Heritage Smallest Dog Best Rescue Costume Class Best Dog/Owner Lookalike This book uses fun rhyme to tell of the many adventures of Tinka, a very busy and mischievous dog.http://www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/assets/downloads/ra_fundogsundog.pdf. Ask if anyone has a special pet that he or she thinks is particularly smart or funny. Have the children use one or two words to describe their pets, such as playful, cute, sweet, soft, slurpy, loud. Then use their words to make some playful rhymes that follow the style of those in the book — a cute dog, a chewing on my boot dog; a soft dog, a hiding in the loft dog; a slurpy dog and sometimes even burpy dog. Connecting the story to children’s own experiences helps them enjoy the reading experience better by relating to story characters and events. Show the book’s cover and read the title, explaining that this book is about Tinka, a fun dog that is busy getting into all kinds of mischief. Say, “Let’s read some of the ways that her owner describes Tinka.” As you read the rhyming descriptions of Tinka, have the children help you complete some of the rhymes, such as “a run-and-run-and ____ dog.” Practice with rhyming words helps children hear the parts of words that are alike and the parts that are different — important skills for being able to decode words in print later. When you read various parts of the story, ask children if their pet has ever done something like what Tinka does. For example, has their pet ever run away or gotten sprayed by a skunk? Take a moment to let them tell about that. Bring their remarks back to the story by using story phrases, “So Susan’s cat is a hot cat, a trot cat, a runs-away-a lot cat.” This is another opportunity to connect children to the story line while engaging them personally ... The casual presence of a dog on someone's property does not make that person a “keeper.http://www.legis.state.wi.us/statutes/Stat0174.pdf.” “Harboring” a dog means to afford it lodging, to shelter it, or give it refuge; it does not include the transient presence in one's home of another's dog. (b) A person may intentionally kill a dog if a domestic animal that is owned or in the custody of the person is threatened with serious bodily harm by the dog and the dog is on property owned or controlled by the person and: 1. (d) Subsection (3) does not apply to a dog that is used by a law enforcement agency if the dog injures a crime suspect while the dog is performing law enforcement functions. A landlord does not become a harborer of a tenant's dog by merely permitting the tenant to keep the dog. If the owner of a dog negligently or otherwise permits the dog to run at large or be untagged, the owner shall for-feit not less than $25 nor more than $100 for the first offense and not less than $50 nor more than $200 for subsequent offenses. Except as pro-vided in s. 174.054, the owner of a dog more than 5 months of age on January 1 of any year, or 5 months of age within the license year, shall annually, or on or before the date the dog becomes 5 months of age, pay the dog license tax and obtain a license. The minimum dog license tax is $3 for a neutered male dog or spayed female dog, upon presentation of evidence that the dog is neutered or spayed, and $8 for an unneutered male dog or unspayed female dog, or one−half of these amounts if the dog became 5 months of age after July 1 of the license year.

Providing your puppy or dog with an indoor kennel crate can satisfy many dogs' need for a den-like enclosure.http://www.dianasgrove.com/dogs/kennel_training.pdf. Besides being an effective housebreaking tool (because it takes advantage of the dog's natural reluctance to soil its sleeping place), it can also help to reduce separation anxiety, to prevent destructive behavior (such as chewing furniture), to keep a puppy away from potentially dangerous household items (i.e., poisons, electrical wires, etc.), and to serve as a mobile indoor dog house which can be moved from room to room whenever necessary. A kennel crate also serves as a travel cabin for you dog when traveling by car or plane. We recommend that you provide a kennel crate throughout your dog's lifetime. Toys and Treats: Place your puppy's favorite toys and dog treats at the far end opposite the door opening. You may also place a sterilized marrow bone filled with cheese or dog treats in the crate. Occasionally throughout the day, drop small pieces of kibble or dog biscuits in the crate. If the dog hesitates, it often works to feed him in front of the crate, then right inside the doorway and then, finally, in the back of the crate. You may also play this enjoyable and educational game with your pup or dog: without alerting your puppy, drop a small dog biscuit into the crate. In fact, crate training is best accomplished while you are in the room with your dog. Do not crate a puppy or dog when temperatures reach an uncomfortable level. [Never leave an unsupervised dog on a terrace, roof or inside a car during warm weather. Rarely does a pup or dog eliminate in the crate if it is properly sized and the dog is an ... Living with a dog can be beneficial to children.http://www.ddfl.org/behavior/kidsdogs.pdf. Parents must be willing to teach the dog and the child acceptable limits of behavior in order to make their interactions pleasant and safe. Selecting A Dog Advantages of getting an adult dog: Adult dogs require less time and attention once they’ve adjusted to your family and household routine, although you’ll still need to spend time helping your new dog with the transition to his new home. You can better gauge how hardy and tolerant an adult dog will be of a child’s enthusiasm and you can work with your local animal shelter to adopt a dog that has previously lived with children. As a general rule, if your child is under 6 years old, it’s best to adopt a dog that’s over 2 years old. Although puppies can be a lot of fun, and it’s exciting and rewarding to help them grow into wonderful companions, they do require significantly more time to train and supervise than an adult dog. It’s sometimes difficult for this type of dog to comfortably tolerate the many comings and goings of children and their friends who may be perceived as territorial intruders. Temperament: While generalizations can be made about specific dog breeds, it is just as important to consider a dog’s individual temperament. A dog’s personality is shaped by both past experiences and genetics. Who will care for the dog? It’s unrealistic to expect a child, regardless of age, to have sole responsibility of caring for a dog. Teaching a dog the rules of the house and helping him become a good companion is too overwhelming for a young child. If you’re adopting a dog “for the kids,” you must be prepared and willing ...

Nothing is more frightening to a parent than to think of their child being injured by a strange dog.http://www.sfdog.org/do/kids_dogs.pdf. It is equally distressing to a dog owner to think of their beloved pet hurting a child, even accidentally. Dog Bite Statistics This data shows that the percentage of dog bites to the total dog population is remarkably low. It also shows the vast majority of dog bites do not involve a strange or unfamiliar animal, but the family's own pet or one belonging to a neighbor. • Between 1 and 2 million dog bites are reported each year. • 85 percent of all dog bites (80 percent of cat bites) are inflicted by animals belonging to the victim's family or to a neighbor. What Dog Guardians/Owners and Parents Can Do Animal behaviorist have developed theories to explain pack animal behavior that can help you safely supervise your dog around children. Due to the varying levels of intellectual and emotional development in each individual child, it is critical that parents help supervise the child-dog interactions and teach their children to respect dogs. Here are some suggestions for both dog guardians/owners and parents to consider: • Teach your child never to startle or suddenly approach a dog, even your own family dog. • Avoid situations where a child has food, toys, or stick-like objects around a dog, which may lead to predictable behavior by the dog (food stealing, jumping-up, excitable or rough play). Avoid letting a child stare face to face with any dog, because the dog may interpret prolonged eye contact as a threatening display. As a child gets older, encourage them to take their dog to an obedience class where they can learn how ... 1.. Complete the information below for each dog who will attend the swim event. 2.

A dog park can be a wonderful place for dogs to socialize.http://www.apdt.com/po/park/pdf/good_dog_park.pdf. However, some dog parks are better than others, and some dogs do better at dog parks than other dogs. To help you assess your local dog park, the Association of Pet Dog Trainers provides this information to help you decide if a particular dog park is the best option for your dog. Below are attributes which can make a dog park a good place to bring your dog or a place that has the potential for problems. Very few dog parks are perfect so consider your dog’s temperament along with the fea-tures of the dog park and make an informed decision about whether or not your dog will have an enjoyable time at the park! For more information on dog parks and other dog issues, check out the APDT web site at www.apdt.com. Cleaning up after your dog – particularly in urban areas – is a demonstration of good citizenship we should all practice. Dogs play very strenu-ously in dog parks and water is an absolute necessity – if there is no water avail-able, it is very possible that dogs may suffer from heatstroke, which can be fatal. Enough space to avoid crowding — If dogs become too crowded, it is much easier for a “bully” or a pack of dogs to corner and harass another dog. Additionally, when two people attempt to get their dogs in and out of the gate, they are not focused on the dogs running loose in the dog park, and there is the potential for a dog to escape. If a dog feels he is being targeted by a bully or pack, he can remove himself to a location where the bullying dog(s) cannot see him and they will quickly forget about him and move on to other activities. Dog(s) bullying ... Is the tag a “license” or unique to a specific dog? The tag signifies that the dog guardian has registered and is participating in the program.http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/files/openspace/pdf_brochures/vs-dog-brochure.pdf. The tag is not specific to a dog. Dog guardians can learn more about the Voice and Sight Dog Tag program by visiting our website at www.osmp.org or calling (303) 441-3440. A new Voice and Sight Dog Tag Program has been designed by the city of Boulder to help dog guardians understand voice and sight control standards and to reduce conflicts which can occur with visitors, other dogs and wildlife. If your dog cannot immediately obey verbal command, your dog must remain on-leash. The new city of Boulder Voice and Sight Dog Tag program requires dog guardians to watch a video about voice and sight control, register with OSMP and display a special program tag on dogs they wish to walk off-leash. If a dog guardian chooses not to register with the voice and sight tag program and display voice and sight dog tags, dogs must be kept on-leash at all times. Am I protected from getting a ticket if my dog has a voice and sight dog tag? A dog guardian who participates in the program and walks a dog under voice and sight control in areas where it is allowed may still be issued for any violation of the following standards: The dog guardian is walking more than two dogs under voice and sight control; The dog guardian is not carrying a leash for each dog being walked under voice and sight control; The dog guardian fails to display voice and sight tag on dog; The dog is not within the guardian’s sight and under voice control at all times; The dog does not come to and stay with the ...
