Adopting a Family Pet - Navigating the Modern Day Animal Welfare World By Joann Hughes CPDT-KA Pawsitive Pet Behavior, llc Released: 2011-12-11 Kindle Edition   Product Description: Millions of pets are adopted from shelters and rescues each year. A vast number of these pets do very well in their homes and live out their lives in this 'forever' home. But what about the matches that don't go so well? Countless owners have adopted pets only to find out later that the pet has major behavioral issues that they find difficult or are unable to live with. This eBook explains the differences between a shelter and a rescue, how that information can affect the quality of pets available for adoption. Also included is information on foster homes, aggression screenings, matching pets with adopters, a list of questions to ask and how to interpret information given to set families up with the best advantages in today's animal welfare world. About the author: Joann Hughes, CPDT-KA is owner and operator of Pawsitive Pet Behavior, llc. She has been certified by the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers -- the only national certification program for professional dog trainers -- since 2004. She is also a professional member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). Joann has been actively involved in training and behavior modification of companion animals specifically, dogs and cats, since 1998. She has devoted several years to the study of animal behavior, volunteering as an obedience instructor for a local shelter, fostering countless cats and dogs and providing behavioral support for shelters and rescues. It was her experiences with her dog Bailey that spawned Joann's interest in training and, most specifically, behavior. Her first experience adopting a shelter puppy led to experiences that forever changed her life. Bailey had having serious behavior problems. It turned out he needed more than the love that the shelter volunteer said was all he needed. In this learning journey that spanned many years, Joann delved into the fascinating field of animal behavior. Joann spent 10 years working in a shelter environment and has experience working with purebreds, mixed breeds, dogs acquired from reputable breeders and puppy mills as well as rescue and shelter dogs. While working in the shelter environment, Joann fostered numerous dogs and cats - both long term and short term fosters. Her specialty was rehabilitating dogs and cats with fear issues and under-socialization. In addition, Joann also spearheaded a puppy-raising program at a local shelter where pregnant moms who would have otherwise been euthanized or had their litters aborted were set up in a stress-free environment and allowed to whelp their litters. She recruited, trained and mentored a large volunteer base to provide 24/7 care for eight weeks while focusing on the behavioral development of the puppies and matching those puppies with homes that best fit their personalities. Joann also has extensive experience in evaluating shelter dogs and cats, conducting SAFER testing and the ASPCA's Meet Your Match Program for both cats and dogs. She enjoys helping owners understand how to communicate with their pets, understanding their pet's individual needs and tailoring a training or modification program specifically for them. Joann has also worked with rabbits, horses and birds specifically with clicker training.

Secrets Dog Training Methods: Your Complete Training Guide By Kimberly W. Trainer Released: 2011-07-24 Kindle Edition (43 pages) List Price: $3.99* *(As of 21:54 Pacific 4 Feb 2012 More Info) Click Here Product Description: Review “I have a great little mutt but she is hyper and not very focused when it comes to training. She has a bit of a chewing problem and I’ll find flip-flops, shoes, socks, dog toys, and several items chewed up if she’s alone for awhile. I read this book about training tips and I decided that the spray bottle may be a great way to distract her from chewing on my things. Did I mention that my dog loves baths? I didn’t know if this would work due to her love of water, but the first time I saw her carry my sock around the house, I grabbed the bottle and squirted her with it. First she dropped the sock, and ran as if something attacked her. I waited for her to grab the sock again which she did immediately, and then I squirted her again. She took off running and just starred at the sock from the kitchen. The last attempt was her grabbing the sock and running into my bedroom, but I was able to squirt her right before she got inside the door. She dropped the sock and jumped on my bed. She must have starred at the sock for 30 minutes, but she never touched it again. I think the feeling was uncomfortable for her and she associated the sock being the discomfort she was feeling. If I continue using the spray bottle when she has things in her mouth, I just may be able to salvage my clothes and belongings. Overall, great tip with immediate results!” - Kelly Paetow, Lubbock, TX Good Doggie, Bad Owner: Getting Your Dog Trained In A Few Easy Steps Do you want to know the secrets to raising a prized pooch?
