DAWGS IN PRISON

January 3, 2017 | 24 Comments

DEVELOPING ADOPTABLE DOGS WITH GOOD SOCIABILITY

The St. Joseph Bay Humane Society in a joint effort with Gulf Correctional Institution, is proud to announce its DAWGS in Prison program.

The dogs in the program receive eight weeks of training at Gulf Forestry Camp under the direction of Gulf Correctional Institution in Wewahitchka, Florida by state inmates. The inmates are trained by a professional dog trainer (using positive training methods), in the hopes they will find gainful employment in an animal-service related field when they are released from prison.

During the intense eight-week training program, dogs selected for this program live with their trainers, handlers, and caretakers in a dormitory style work camp. Before entering the program, the dogs have had an extensive temperament test, and it is determined they get along well with other dogs and people.

For clarification, I asked Shelter Director, Melody Townsend: ‘is the Gulf Forestry Camp the name of the ‘work release center’?

Gulf Forestry Camp prepares the inmates for work release but is not the “work release center.”  Inmates at Gulf Forestry Camp are medium, minimum custody.  They also house the “community” custody inmates who work on work crews throughout Gulf County, Monday – Friday.  These teams play a substantial role in our community, and we even have a crew sent to our Humane Society, Monday – Friday to do the cleaning, yard maintenance and other jobs for our shelter.

If you saw my previous post about the SJBHS, you will appreciate the work that has gone into keeping the grounds looking beautiful.

The inmates are also vetted to ensure the safety of the dogs. Inmates volunteer for the program.  They complete an application (as if applying for a job), and are screened by DOC Classification department, to assure they are eligible (ie no animal/violent crimes, custody level, etc.).  After screening, if they interview for the position with the Gulf CI program coordinator who will make the final decision (with input from DAWGS Director/Co-Director).

Our mission is to provide training and education for both inmate and dog, resulting in permanent homes for the dogs, viable job skills for the inmate, and productive jobs and a law-abiding life upon release

Currently one of every three inmates released from the Florida prison system returns to prison within three years. Through programs like DAWGS, the Department of Corrections is focusing on providing the necessary support and training tools to inmates for them to be successful upon their release.

Upon release, an inmate who participated in the program shared the following:

I woke up during my first year of the DAWGS program:
My attitude changed. My routine changed. My health changed. My priorities changed.
Everything changed in my life for me to be responsible enough to take care of one of God’s precious creations.

DAWGS gave me the wisdom to see what kind of changes were needed in my life to be a productive citizen again after a total of twenty-six years behind bars

The dogs are crate trained, house trained, and basic obedience trained. They can be expected to sit, stay, recall, down, heel, and respond to no and leave it. The dogs are also well trained on a leash. Of course, they are up to date on all vaccines as well as spayed/neutered and heartworm negative.

I was assured that only ‘Positive Reinforcement’ training methods are practiced; they use treats, praise/affection, playtime, etc.

St. Joseph Bay Humane Society Shelter Director Melody Townsend shares: when selecting DAWGS dogs, the ones that have been at the shelter the longest are given priority.  With these, we try to select the ones that will have the best chance at adoption with the help of the program.  Most are dogs that need socialization, additional help/time with medical issues, or the basic obedience training to make them great pets.  With the popularity of the program, we often have a waiting list of approved adopters that have a particular type (i.e., size, breed, temperament, etc.) that they are looking for and we try to select dogs that we feel would be compatible with these approved adopters.

The dogs are available for adoption immediately upon being selected into the program, and will be able to go to their forever homes after graduation. Says Melody: Our goal is to have every dog adopted PRIOR to graduating so that all go to loving homes on their graduation day and a new class will take their place.  A triple celebration!

When asked about success rates, Melody proudly shares: As of our last graduation in November, we have saved over 500 dogs, and over 500 inmates have gone through our program.  We are graduating our 50th Class this January.  We have dogs adopted out in twenty-four states and two countries.

The St. Joseph Bay Humane Society overseas this fabulous DAWGS in Prison program and also participates in Pets for Patriots. Applications from veterans are welcome!

Says Melody:

Our Pets for Patriots partnership extends to the DAWGS dogs that fit the PfP criteria.  DAWGS in prison also offers an adoption discount to active military men and women.

Click to learn about success stories from this incredible program.

The DAWGS in Prison program benefits dogs in need of training and socializing to find loving, forever homes. The program also provides support and a second chance to inmates wanting to turn their lives around.

My Pack and I believe in second chances.

LEASH AND THANK YOU

THE ETIQUETTE OF DOG WALKING

Have you ever had someone cross over to the other side of the road with their dog(s) when they see you walking toward them with your dog(s)?  That is a clear indication they don’t want the dogs to interact.  Or, maybe they don’t like other people.  Either way, we should respect the overt gesture.

As a pet parent to a fearful, special needs mill dog, I deeply sympathized when I learned of a friend’s dog walking experiences.

Following the loss of their beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Skeeter, just before Christmas, Tammy and her husband decided to fill the overwhelming void by providing a loving home to a rescue dog. They fell in love with a bonded pair. Brothers Manny and Nico.

As is the case with some rescue dogs due to difficult and uncertain pasts, a vast amount of patience is required, and there is an adjustment period for dogs and their new owners.

Tammy admits Skeeter did NOT walk perfectly but was easy to scoop up and remove from a threat.

People would tell me don’t worry about my dog he is very friendly and I would say well mine isn’t always friendly so let’s not take a chance

Tammy adds: ‘I had someone who came all the way up my driveway with their dog all the while I am telling them hey my dog isn’t that friendly, and he’s behind me snarling and barking and guess what ended up happening? Yes, my dog bit her dog. GO FIGURE! She never brought her dog up my driveway again. And the thing is I had never even met this woman before!’

Unfortunately, that is one of many incidents where a dog is put in a dangerous situation by an irresponsible owner. These situations can be easily avoided.

Tammy now has both hands full (two leashes) and is dedicated to socializing and training her new pack members.

If my dog is acting like a goof and barking like crazy and pulling at his leash because he sees your dog, could you please walk quietly on and not try to talk to me as I am trying to get my dog or dogs under control.

If I tell you I have a rescue dog; I’m not sure how my dog will act with yours, and I would like to keep them separate, please respect my wishes and not try to argue with me and tell me how friendly your dog is. Your dog is agitated, barking and lunging at my dogs. Do not force your dog on mine because (you think) your dog really wants to meet my dogs. It’s only making the situation worse.

I believe that I am a responsible pet owner and am trying to educate myself on proper dog etiquette. I also try to educate myself on dog behaviour. When I see something that is causing my dogs to act out, I will try to remove them from the problem. It is hard enough trying to keep my dogs under control and watch for cars, etc. without having to worry about you approaching me with your dogs.

I know you mean well but please LET US BE! Once my dogs are more socialized and settled and better behaved, we can try to have our dogs meet!

There is often more to people’s situation than can be assumed when you see someone out walking their dog. Even if the dog is not a new, puppy, the dog might be new to those people. If it IS a puppy, the people might be working on training and similar to a rescue situation, still figuring out the dog’s personality! It might not even be THEIR dog.

Tricia Soulier of Pawsitive Approach Pet Services and her team provides dog walking services for pets while their people are working.

Some of the frustrations Trish has encountered are:

Children walking dogs and dogs that are off leash.

Children are not emotionally mature enough to respond to potential dangers

My team and I have ended up in the middle of such situations, and we have been injured! None of us want to hurt a dog, but it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of the dogs we walk.

Often, dogs that are off leash on someone’s property run towards dogs being walked along the road. The situation could quickly escalate into a fight. I would not want to see a child in the middle of that.

Flexi leashes are another concern as they do not allow adequate control, and they break. Too much can happen before the handler can reel them in – especially when you add traffic to a scenario.

Oblivious parents is another issue. Trish had in her care a Bernese, lab cross puppy. As she walked by a picnic area, the parents sat at a nearby table and watched their toddler run, arms outstretched towards the dog.

PUPPY, PUPPY, PUPPY!

I started to lose my voice warning the child not to approach before the child’s mother finally put her phone down and came to collect the youngster.

One paw from this large, energetic young puppy would have hurt the child!

Leanne started volunteering in 2002 in the Youth & Animal Program at the OSPCA walking and clicker training dogs.

More from Leanne:

I volunteered at the OSPCA for eight years. The last couple of years I joined a group of volunteers who developed a program to orient and train new dog walkers. It was called BuddyUp. Collectively we oriented over 300 new dog walkers in approx. Three years.

In January 2011 I started volunteering at GAC. There was no orientation program for dog walkers at the time, so I offered to start orienting new dog walkers. Fellow volunteer Ruth and I started offering the Canine Communication Workshop for the shelter’s dog walkers AND the public. We run the workshop every four months or so.

I have an interest in training dogs using positive reinforcement, and I have attended many seminars over the past 14 years with some of the world’s most respected positive-reinforcement trainers like Kathy Sdao, Dr. Sophia Yin, Yvette Van Veen, Nicole Wilde, etc. I’d guess 15-20 seminars. I also completed a 6-month dog trainer program through the Karen Pryor Academy.

My focus with the shelter dogs is to mark and reward all the behaviors they offer that I find desirable so that they will repeat those behaviors.

I strive to avoid positive punishment and negative reinforcement in my dog training and the use of aversives or corrections. My goal is to keep the dogs feeling safe and treat them with respect.

When working with reactive dogs, my favourite protocol is CARE (Counter Conditioning and positive Reinforcement are Essential for Reactive Dogs). Identify the dog’s triggers for reactivity, work at a distance at which they are not reacting to the trigger, pair the trigger with something they REALLY like and create a conditioned positive emotional response to the trigger, decrease the distance from the trigger, repeat, repeat, repeat. Also, mark and reward all the behaviors you’d prefer the dog to be doing rather than reacting like checking in with you, holding eye contact, sitting, etc. That’s over simplified so folks should check out the protocol for a detailed description.

When introducing new dogs to each other, I prefer to take it slow and go for a nice walk with the dogs. Alternating walking ahead and behind each other, then parallel to each other, then around each other all the while watching their body language to assess whether they seem comfortable and interested in meeting each other. If they seem uncomfortable or are avoiding each other, I’ll stop the intro there. If they seem comfortable, we’ll do a brief face to face intro and encourage them to circle around to the bums. Greetings tend to go best if 3-5 seconds and then the dogs are encouraged to separate. The humans can help create a smooth greeting by keeping their leashes loose and moving around with their dog to ensure leashes don’t get tangled, and the dogs can go through their natural greeting routines.

Thank you, Leanne, for this great information and thank you, Tammy and Tricia, for sharing your experiences.

Also, a huge thank you to the ROVER team of dog walkers, for suggesting the need for this information.

Dogs react to people’s energy. If I become nervous or stressed in a situation, I notice my dogs act accordingly. By looking ahead for potential situations (dogs loose on property), I am better able to avoid stressful situations. If we behave as responsible dog owners and respect others everyone will be safe, and no one will be hurt – person or dog.

Check back soon for our post addressing ‘leash aggression.’

COOKING WITH CORI

December 11, 2015 | 31 Comments

INGREDIENTS THAT ARE HARMFUL TO PETS

After her second daughter was born,  Cori Doern left a career as a producer in Toronto’s world-class post-production industry and moved from the city to the country.  Cori traded cutting video for cutting vegetables and creates soup stock instead of film stock.

cwc

Cori presented a jar of home-made soup to her daughter’s schoolteacher as a thank-you gift. Within weeks, Cori had sold 250 jars to local soup lovers. By the end of the year, she was supplying liquid gold to cafés in the Greater Toronto Area. By 2011, Cori had received a tremendous amount of critical acclaim.

The Toronto Star and Toronto Life deemed Cori’s soups “Delectable.”

Cori began offering take-away meals out of her kitchen in Sutton and by April 2013, overwhelming demand from a growing chorus of Georgina foodies prompted Cori to open the doors of Cori’s Café, at 132 High Street in Sutton, to the public. She prepares fresh soups, salads, and sandwiches for lunch five days a week and scrumptious dinners from Thursday to Saturday.

Cori’s Café has received more than a handful of awards,  including Small Business of the Year award for 2013, Small Business Georgina 2014, Small Business York Region 2015, and the Café was voted Best Salads and Best Desserts by Georgina Advocate readers for both 2013 and 2014.

Cori has embraced country living to the fullest and is part of a team of residents passionate about local, organic farming.

During several visits to the café, and over many delicious meals, Cori and I discussed her love of food and my love of animals.  During one of these conversations, Cori suggested I join her as a guest on the television show she hosts.  ‘Cooking with Cori’ is where this talented individual has come full circle to television again, sharing her passion for cooking and healthy ingredients and produce (noun, not verb) on-screen.

The show is featured on Rogers TV, Georgina Cable 10. This episode will air in the New Year.

I was thrilled to participate and speak about the importance of nutrition for our companions and what foods to avoid sharing with our companions – foods that may be toxic to them.

FIVE……FOUR……THREE……TWO……ONE!

When creating feasts for friends and family, we are easily distracted.  We focus on conversations with our guests, constantly aware of our timing (what needs to go in the oven and when), and being a wonderful host or hostess. “Who needs more wine”?

When distracted, we might be less inclined to notice when pieces of food drop to the floor, never mind WHAT TYPE of food item!

Feeding scraps to dogs can be dangerous. Some human foods may cause digestive problems for our dogs and cats, and some can even be life-threatening.

A good habit to get into is teaching your dog ‘on your bed’ or crate (if you use a crate) while you’re busy in the kitchen and while eating (until the family has finished with food at the table) and again during clean-up.

 All pet parents should learn and teach dogs the training commands: ‘leave it,’ and ‘give’ or ‘drop.’

Dangerous food items for your pet

  • Alcoholic beverages
  • Dairy – Dogs do not have the digestive enzymes to break down the sugars in cow’s milk, so drinking milk can cause gas, bloating, diarrhea, and vomiting in dogs.
  • Apple seeds
  • Apricot pits
  • Avocados
  • Cucumber (peel is toxic)
  • Cherry pits
  • Chocolate—toxic to dogs, cats, and ferrets—and any candy containing the toxic sweetener Xylitol
  • Coffee (grounds, beans, and chocolate-covered espresso beans)
  • Garlic
  • Grapes and Raisins
  • Gum (can cause blockages and sugar-free gums may contain the toxic sweetener Xylitol)
  • Hops (used in home beer brewing)
  • Macadamia nuts
  • Moldy foods
  • Mushroom plants
  • Mustard seeds
  • Onions and onion powder
  • Peach pits
  • Potato leaves and stems (green parts)
  • Rhubarb leaves
  • Salt and salty foods – Processed foods, such as sausages, deli meat, and canned soup, contain a lot of salt. Too much salt can cause electrolyte imbalance, kidney disease, and seizures in dogs.
  • Tea (because it contains caffeine)
  • Tomato leaves and stems (green parts)
  • Walnuts
  • Xylitol (artificial sweetener that is toxic to pets)
  • Yeast dough

List compiled from various sources.

During the show we also discussed:

  • The link between our health and diet, and the environment (Endocrine system, and diabetes)
  • Excess itching in dogs (especially ears) and upset stomach could be a sign of food allergies or intolerances.
  • Congo Raw diet available locally. Owner Mathew will discuss your concerns before suggesting a protein for your dog.
  • Nutrience Subzero is a Canadian, grain-free product that contains pieces of freeze-dried, Canadian-sourced protein.  Nutrience Subzero is now available at PetSmart Canada.
  • Consult your veterinarian and try switching to a ‘grain-free’ or ‘raw’ diet.

AND CUT!!!

UNITED BY TRAUMA – PTSD

September 16, 2015 | 18 Comments

Supporting Emergency Service Workers

Firefighter

Each year, the organization United by Trauma (UbyT) holds and event to show their appreciation to all emergency response workers and military members for the emotional sacrifices made every day. This year’s United by Trauma Ball Hockey Codiac Cup took place at the Barrie Molson Centre, in Barrie Ontario (Canada). As well as ball hockey, the event included Helicopter Rides, a Dog Agility Course and BBQ and Bjeer Gardens. During this all-day event, I had the pleasure of meeting some of the new ‘United by Trauma “Ernie’s Journey” Service Pups.’ Funds generated by this event go towards training and caring for Service Dogs until they are deemed ready to team with their person.

In May, the organization also holds a sponsored run, followed by a rock concert – i Run & Rock.   Co-founders include James Ward-York Regional Police Services, Wayne Dufour-Barrie Police Service and Nicole Taylor-OR Nurse/Veteran as well as Dog training organization In Canis Speramus and Sam Reid of ‘Glass Tiger’ . Sam Reid has been headlining the i Run & Rock concert for each of the three years the event has taken place.

Ernie’s Journey is an outreach program developed by United by Trauma. The first step in providing support to first responders, soldiers and veterans affected with post-traumatic stress disorder is to match them with specific dogs to mitigate the effects of PTSD. Ernie’s Journey, named in honour of X’Caliber (AKA Ernie Taylor). Ernie is a Chocolate Barbet French Water Dog that works with many first responders, soldiers, veterans and medical professionals. One example of PTSD is nightmares. The Service dogs are trained to recognize signs and react accordingly.

ladies.jpg

As I watched the camaraderie between not only the members of each Ball Hockey team but the entire Emergency Services team, I felt incredibly humble. These are individuals that put themselves at risk every day to make our world a better place. I was truly honored to participate in the event and support these individuals. Volunteers of United by Trauma are primarily first responders and community members.

Ernie and guys

The inaugural event took place in 2013 after an initial discussion between volunteers from various emergency services, military and medical personnel. This team of peers is made up of passionate individuals who continue to raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues so common among emergency responders.

Reactions to frightening situations, such as nervousness, inability to sleep and to replay the event over in one’s mind is normal. These reactions usually subside over time, and the affected person(s) resume their normal activities without further disruption. Post-traumatic stress disorder lasts much longer and can leave a person or persons incapacitated.

PTSD causes people to re-live the traumatic event, having vivid nightmares, flashbacks, or thoughts of the event that seem to come from nowhere. Often, individuals will go out of their way to avoid things or situations that remind them of the event. For example, survivors of an automobile accident might avoid driving, or travel, all together.

PTSD also affects the nervous system as individuals constantly feel ‘on edge,’ startle easily, have a hard time concentrating, feel irritable, and experience difficulty sleeping. They often experience a sense of foreboding, even when they are safe. Some people feel very numb and detach themselves from reality, disconnecting from their physical and mental self and have difficulty feeling emotions.

Without support and treatment, some people may turn to alcohol or drugs as a way to cope with PTSD.

Certain occupations create a greater risk to individuals, and those individuals are more likely to find themselves in dangerous situations. Military personnel, first responders (police, firefighters, and paramedics), doctors, and nurses experience higher rates of PTSD than other professions.

The annual event, hosted by United by Trauma generates valuable funds used to promote research, awareness, and community outreach for the resilient heroes affected by the traumas of their professions. The coming together of colleagues and community members demonstrates a strong network of support to these heroes and lets them know they are not alone.

CTV Barrie: Hockey fundraiser

“We know that our sub-culture is comprised of selfless professionals that tend to put everyone else before themselves and sometimes their families. We are the helpers that spend most of our time taking care of others and solving problems, and then feel frustrated and defeated when we can’t seem to fix our own.

We know that our professions spend countless hours training on how to physically survive every worst-case scenario and that losing is never an option. We also know also know that no one has read us the fine print that we will see, smell, hear, and feel the unimaginable, and that those experiences will stay with us forever.

We are peers that want you to know that you are not alone, that what we feel is normal, and it is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength.

Thank you to all that serve and sacrifice in our communities.”

of strong mind & body

January 20, 2015 | 2 Comments

yoga101

There is a reason I started the resolution posts with exercise; for me, fitness comes first.  If I’m exercising I am more aware of what I eat and make better choices.  I enjoy balanced, nutritious meals.  That said, it is not always easy to convince myself to lace up my trainers.  The first step is the hardest.

Yoga is a practice that combines physical and mental strength.

Have you ever noticed how yoga comes naturally to animals?  Cat pose, downward dog and cat-terunga as well as their variations.  Henry’s favourite is a seated pose.  He’ll turn and stretch his little black nose toward the ceiling while pushing his front feet into the floor.  It seems as if he will split himself in two!  Henry even has the costal breathing perfected during this stretch – at great volume.

For anyone who has ever practiced yoga, it is an incredibly powerful form of exercise for the body and the mind.  I feel strong, stretched, and wrung-out.  I also feel relaxed and invigorated at the same time!  My mind initially cluttered, becomes clear, I am able to focus on my breathing and my mental state is more positive.  It’s as if I have gained a dog’s perspective on life – they don’t have to practice!

This perspective – for humans, is based on the philosophy of yoga.  Adopting this philosophy as well as meditation and the physical practice; yoga poses and breathing exercises, will, in my opinion, inspire the greatest transformations within us.

The Yamas and Niyamas – ethical goals to strive for

  1. Nonviolence, Non-violence, non-harming other living beings
  2. Truthfulness
  3. Not stealing
  4. Forgiveness
  5. Celibacy
  6. Fortitude
  7. Compassion
  8. Non-hypocrisy, sincerity
  9. Measured diet
  10. Purity, cleanliness

The following list of Niyamas are a combination of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and the order of The Hatha Yoga Pradipika (as selected by me):

  1. Purity, clearness of mind, speech and body
  2. Contentment, acceptance of others and of one’s circumstances as they are, optimism for self
  3. Persistence, perseverance in one’s purpose, austerity
  4. Generosity, charity, sharing with others
  5. Remorse and acceptance of one’s past, modesty, humilitystudy of self, self-reflection, introspection of self’s thoughts, speeches and actions
