To Aiko Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Buh-bye 2020. Don’t let the doggie door smack you in the tail on your way out. On second thought, do. Aloooooha 2021! Boy, are we looking forward to you.

Not that there's nothing to enjoy in the waning weeks of the worst year in memory, mind you. The Howlidaze will be an especially fine time to spend with Family and Four-Legged Friends, and yes, that even includes cats, because we are in the spirit!

We’ll start rehabbing 2020’s rep right now with this festive edition of Island Dog, starting with Cover Cutie Ginger. Our Da Kine Canine gallery is stuffed with the presence of canines presented in all their glory, and the All Dressed Up gallery is even more gloriously fun—check out the avocado! Next up is Puppies, so send in pics of when they were young for everyone to ooh and aww over.

Ace photog Kelli Bullock Hergert details the beginning of J. Tyler Landon’s new biz, SUPDog Hawaii, which is dedicated to letting you and your pup live that ocean loving life.

Laura Lane checks in with her medical alert dog, Gunner, who warns her when her blood sugar level is low.

And our Howlidaze Gifts & Sniffs section wraps up everything you need to make the coming days merry and bright. And tasty. And fun!

All this, plus resident artists Dan Van Zyle and John Pritchett regaling us with renditions of the superb Siberian Husky and Santa’s shotgun companion, respectively, makes for a happy mag that we hope brings a smile and some cheer your way.

On a solemn note, our beloved dog Aiko passed away just two weeks before her 15th birthday. It hurt terribly, but we are mindful that the depth of pain is more than matched by the height of the joy and love we shared.

As always, thank you for the kindness of your attention in this most digital of ages. And for your support for our advertisers, many of whom are just barely hanging on. Mahalo plenty.

Stay safe, be kind and we’ll see you in 2021! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

W

e fell in love with Ginger at the Kahala puppy “swap meet.”

“Awapui Keo Keo” or Hawaiian White Ginger was the first born of five females and was the biggest, the alpha female, and though supposedly aloof, she took to me immediately.

I had always been a big dog person, but it was love at first sight. She looked like a polar bear cub!

She’s all Hawaii with grandparents from Haleiwa, Nanakuli, Waianae and Salt Lake, so we sometimes call her “local girl,” as many local Westies have New Zealand, Australia or Mainland lines.

She adores her two sister cats, ASHLEY SMITH her two daddies—Steve and Marcelo—and Panda, her new baby sister recently adopted from Bali.

Ginger is having a very energetic second puppyhood because of her. Everyone at Kailua beach knows and loves Ginger and calls her the Little Caesar’s kine dog.

Besides Kailua beach, Gin loves walks in our home neighborhood of Maunawili, car rides, the beach below the Blowhole (Cockroach Bay) where she can climb the rocks, ahi jerky, and chasing any little thing that runs (it’s in her DNA). But not, alas, surfing.

She’s also sometimes a spoiled diva, and we hope this feature in Island Dog doesn’t inflate her already sufficiently grand “Westitude.” — Stephen Tannenbaum

erendipity first struck when J. Tyler Landon joined a friend in Hawaii for a Capoeira graduation and surf trip in December 2017. He fell in love with the islands. He returned to San Diego and spent a year prepping to move his rescue pup Phoenix and himself to Hawaii for their next chapter in life.

L: J. Tyler Landon and Phoenix, a lab/pitty mix. Top R: Tyler and Phoenix at the 2019 Going to the Dogs Surfur Competition. Bottom R: Nicole and Ziva living the SUPDog Hawaii life.

Tyler settled on Oahu and started to work with Phoenix to get her used to the beach. “Once we got to the warm waters of Oahu, she soon became a water pup.

I was working at Blue Planet Surf Shop, and started taking her out with a SUP (stand up paddle board). I would throw the ball and play ocean fetch to keep her entertained, exercised and excited to stay in the water near the board. Then I slowly added in wave riding.”

Serendipity struck again in June 2019, when Tyler met with the organizers of the Going to the Dogs Surfur Competition— part of the annual Duke’s Oceanfest. They convinced Tyler to enter Phoenix into the 2019 event, and the duo became instant celebrities when they made it into the

Honolulu Star Advertiser.

The camaraderie and fun in the water with the other “SurFurs” convinced Tyler that he could help other dog owners experience an exciting water lifestyle safely and correctly with their dogs.

SUPDog Hawaii was born!

“Melissa was the winner of the SUP giveaway at the Duke’s Oceanfest fundraiser, and she hired me to help teach her 95 lb. Bull Mastiff, Achilles, to join their family in the water and on the SUP. She also brought her boxer puppy to the lesson. I used an 11 ft. rental SUP board, and let’s just say I learned a lot about what not to do in a lesson. The whole family had fun, Achilles had a great swim session, and we kept everything WINTER 2020 • ISLAND DOG MAGAZINE 37

Tyler’s Top 3 Tips for including your dog in a water lifestyle #1: Repetition. Establish continuous contact with the water, and activities with the beach. Start small, and build up. Keep it positive! But, if they don’t love water or the beach yet, SUPDog Hawaii can help you with that initial acclimation. #2: Get a life jacket/vest for your pup.

Safety comes first. This adds to their level of comfort and security in the water as, like humans, some dogs don’t float as well as others. #3: Once your dog is comfortable with the water, get more creative with your activities—throwing the tennis ball from your SUP in the water, for instance. Water can be an extension of your play on land.

The dog/parent bonding that comes from sharing a positive, healthy experience together is just the best. Your dog looks to you for guidance and trusts you, and new experiences help build confidence in both of you.

positive for the pups!”

His next clients, Nicole and her Chocolate Lab Ziva, had such a great set of lessons that they are now one of SDH’s “demo dog teams” at the Sunday clinics. She can now paddle her SUP with Ziva over 4 miles at a time. “Nicole was all about adding Ziva into her water lifestyle,” says Tyler. “Those two are now huge supporters. They’re truly living the SUPDog Hawaii life!”

One year later, with the success of his public SUP/dog clinics and participation with the virtual Hawaii Pet Expo in 2020, Tyler has grown his business to include Doga (yoga with Dogs), swim classes, and specialty doggy treats.

enhanced features that are perfect for a dog’s comfort and safety on the water.

Called the “SUPDog Model” it will be 11 feet long, 35 inches wide, with 250 liters in flotation. And of course, we humans will love it too.

While learning to swim or SUP, a dog can sometimes ingest too much salt water, which can lead to upset tummies and diarrhea. So SUPDog Hawaii created a “Beach Treat” with several proactive ingredients that are easily digestible and aid in the absorption of the salt water, helping the pups feel better quicker and wanting to get back in the water. They are available in select pet shops around the island.

It will be exciting to see what serendipitous events are in store for Tyler and SUPDog Hawaii. To book your own private lesson with Tyler and SUPDog Hawaii, visit supdoghawaii.com. Follow him and his Wolfpack on Instagram @ supdoghawaii.

Up To Snuff

BY JOHN HARMON

Laura Lane goes to sleep every night knowing there’s a guardian angel at her bedside.

And his name is Gunner.

As a Medical Alert dog, Gunner alerts Laura, his diabetic owner, when she’s in a low blood sugar episode.

40 ISLAND DOG MAGAZINE • WINTER 2020

A dog’s sense of smell is legendary. Like, 10,000 to a 100,000 times better than we scentchallenged humans legendary. It’s no wonder that we are constantly finding new ways to make use of their abilities. Our relationship has graduated from hunting food to sniffing out weapons and fireworks, cancer, and now even coronavirus.

So detecting low blood sugar is really not a superpower—it just takes the right training and a dog who’s up to snuff.

W

e met Laura Lane at a dog event (remember those?) in February at Salt Kakaako. She was accompanied by Gunner, her four year old Medical Alert dog. Laura has been diabetic since the age of 12—over three decades. In 2016 she decided that she wanted a service dog to alert her to life threatening low blood sugar episodes. She kindly agreed to answer a few questions and share her experiences with Gunner.

John: First, what is diabetes, and how does it affect you personally?

Laura: Diabetes is an illness that occurs when your pancreas stops producing insulin. Your blood sugar can go high or low, depending on what and when you’re eating. So I have to give myself an insulin shot every time I eat and constantly monitor my levels.

John: How did you choose Gunner?

Laura: I’ve always loved German Shepherds. So when I decided to get a service dog, I wanted the straight backed, big boned Shepherd with a great temperament. After research, I found Shelly at Salhaus German Shepherds in Oregon, and her dogs were just beautiful! I was on a two year wait list before I got Gunner.

of your pet with each st ay!

John: How was he trained?

Laura: Salhaus started training him as a puppy. I did a lot of research and reading beforehand, and when I brought Gunner over, I continued the training.

Basically you train the dog to recognize your low blood sugar scent. When I knew my blood sugar was low, I took a swab from my mouth and hid it under a cup. Then I added a bunch of empty cups and hid them around the house, so it’s hide-and-seek. And as soon as Gunner detected that low blood sugar, he got lots of love and praise and treats, so he learned real quick. He’s a smart boy!

I taught him to touch, and to nudge me when I’m low. He’s saved my life many times at night when I’ve just been in a really deep sleep. He’ll nudge me, lick me, whine and paw at me and I’ll be like “Go away!” But he’ll keep at it, and even though I don’t feel low, I know he’s looking out for me so I get up and check my level. I’ll be at 30-50, whereas normal is 80. So I’ll have a snack to raise it back up.

Out and about: Gunner in his service vest.

John: Does he get along with other dogs?

Laura: Sometimes people are hesitant because he’s so big, but then they see and feel his loving nature. One lady had a puppy that saw him and was wagging his tail, but she grabbed him up. I said, “He’s really friendly, honest!” and then Gunner laid down, and let the puppy come up and sniff him and lick him. It was so cute! It’s the same with kids. His size can be so intimidating, but once they find out he’s a sweetheart, they all want to play.

John: What’s life with Gunner like?

Laura: Well, I just can’t say enough about him. From when he got his last puppy shot, I started taking him everywhere with me because I wanted him to be really socialized. He gets along with other dogs and kids and even cats. Plus he passed the American Temperament Test, where your dog is challenged by different terrains, strangers, an umbrella opened in their face, and even a gun going off.

Specializing in problem behavior rehabilitation

Specializing in problem behavior “A holistic approach rehabilitation to canine behavior.”

Sean Riley For appointments

(808) 202-0897 “A holistic approach

@APetPerspective CANINE BEHAVIORAL PSYCHOLOGY to canine behavior”

Inside the Canine Mind Developing protocols to deal with unwanted behavior

A

s a pet psychologist, I take in every client on a case-by-case basis and create a custom behavior plan tailored to your dog’s specific needs and background. My job is to teach you how to predict, prevent, communicate, and rehabilitate those behaviors, building a stronger and more balanced life between pups and parents.

As a Canine Behavioral Psychologist, most of my clients are dealing with major problem behaviors ranging from aggression, barking, separation anxiety, rescue recovery, however we also welcome any dog and owner who would like to create a more balanced holistic relationship with your dog while building a lifelong relationship of trust and loyalty.

Solution: It took nearly 12 hours, but now Teddy is confident around other dogs with no growling, snapping, or reacting. When introduced to my pack, he chose a play partner—my year-old Doberman Pinscher who was bigger than him.

Wow! He is able to deliver a play bow, receive acceptance, and have good, balanced play. Now his owner can walk him without the constant pulling, lunging, and snarling that plagued earlier outings.

Recognizing these behaviors early is the best time to seek professional help. Give me a call to discuss your specific situation and the behaviors your dog is exhibiting, and we’ll schedule an initial evaluation to design a custom behavior plan for your dog’s specific needs.

CASE STUDY Name: Teddy, Basenji/Whippet mix Symptoms: On walks, growling and snapping at kids and other dogs. Major dog-dog aggression.

Diagnosis: Teddy was a rescue who had been separated from his mom way too early. He was raised with other hunting dogs and was attacked by one, leaving him partially paralyzed by a lower back trauma. He became extremely, aggressively defensive as a result. Although rehomed after a recovery period, he was always anxious, terrible on a leash in public, and couldn’t get exercise on his own, still hampered by his injury.

In Loving Memory Island Dog Magazine’s

Aiko

BRIAN REED

September 4, 2005 August 21, 2020

Aiko as Island Dog’s first cover dog February 2008.

Best. Dog. Ever. That doesn’t mean we haven’t loved all of our dogs, of course. Aiko was just different in amazing, amusing, and wonderful ways: Dignified, but not aloof; Open to some direction, but not a training regimen; Quiet, but not above challenging strangers who dared ring the doorbell. She was sublime and inspired us to start Island Dog Magazine in 2008. She appears in our magazine as the black running dog with a yellow lei.

We got her from a neighbor, putting $20 down before she even opened her eyes. Dad was a tan Shar Pei with a face like a gargoyle belying a really sweet disposition. Mom was a black “Lab” who was nice, but not quite convincing in the role. So we got a DNA blood test, and she was a Shar Pei/Collie/Golden Retriever/Chow.

A poi dog. Best $200 we ever spent!

Aiko taught Tina, our rescue Chihuahua/Fox Terrier with the highest food drive ever seen, not to beg at the table. Treats would come during cleanup. And she house-trained Arthur, our Lab/ Golden from his first days of puppyhood, demonstrating the proper use of the doggie door and the proud sense of accomplishment of a job well done.

With her passing, our Tri-pack became a Two-pack. Arthur and Tina have dealt with the loss much better than we, maybe sensing the cancer that we couldn’t see would, inevitably, take her. But her last days were filled with joy—short walks, lounging on her favorite pillow, and yes, even table scraps.

Thank you, Aiko. You made us better and we made great memories together.
