TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO POSITIVELY INTERACT WITH DOGS

othing entices a child more than seeing a happy dog out in public. But without proper training from a parent, children can end up in a bad situation with a strange dog. If a child is bitten, they might be scared of dogs for the rest of their life and that dog will most likely be punished or put down. But by learning the correct way of approaching new dogs and interacting with them, children can learn lifelong skills that will ensure that dogs remain furry friends, not foes.

According to Fran Jewell, IAABC-certified dog behavior consultant of Ketchum’s Positive Puppy Dog Training LLC, “The most important thing to remember is to teach children good manners and not rely on the dog to behave well.”

Children are often taught early on not to approach strangers, and the same applies to a strange dog. Though a dog may look friendly, he or she might have different triggers, have problems with children, or just not like to interact with strangers. Observing the dog first, to decide if it should be approached, is important. Is the dog on a leash?

This may give children and adults a false sense of security, but often the dogs that are on leashes are the ones most likely to misbehave.

Dogs are also more likely to bite when leashed or caged.

“Even the most reliable dog needs to be respected and treated fairly,” Jewell said. “Children should not push dogs to their limits.”

If the dog is a stray—it has no visible leash or owner—it is best to avoid this dog and to avoid eye contact and stay calm if it comes near. If a dog is also displaying any kind of body language that it is anxious, stressed or afraid, this dog should not be approached.

You can tell that a dog is feeling this way if it is cowering, licking its lips (when there is no food nearby), panting (when it is not hot or thirsty), furrowing its brows, holding its ears to the side, moving in slow motion, looking in many directions, moving away, and pacing.

Teaching your child to recognize these signs can help avoid any conflict between your child and a dog.

Once it is determined that the dog in question is okay to be approached, the most important rule for your child to learn is to ask permission from an adult as well as the dog’s owner. As a parent, you are in charge of the situation and your word and permission need to become paramount; after all, handling someone’s pet is a privilege, so if your child is not willing to follow the rules, they should be removed from the situation.

“It is critical that children and puppies not be left unsupervised together,” Jewell said.

With the owner’s permission, your child should hold out the back of a closed hand slightly toward the dog, but not in its face, and let the dog sniff him or her. Stooping down to the dog’s level can be helpful as well. If the dog seems comfortable, your child can then softly pet or scratch the dog, never pulling, hugging, making loud noises, or getting in the dog’s face.

Many of the same rules apply when meeting a dog in private at the home of a family member or friend. Friends and family should be asked about the temperament of their dog and whether it is okay to pet. There are also many elements to consider since your child is in the dog’s territory: the dog’s toys, bed, space and food. A lot of the same rules you would follow with a fellow human should be followed: no one likes having someone in their face, having their food played with while they’re eating, having their toys taken, or being grabbed or shouted at. These are good rules to follow when teaching your child to interact with a dog. They should be polite and kind, play games, and recognize if the dog is no longer in the mood to interact.

By following these simple steps, one can ensure that their child is set up for life to have positive interactions with dogs. tws

BY FRAN JEWELL

ne of the biggest complaints I get from my clients is that their dog won’t listen when there is a distraction, especially with the “come” command. I have talked before about teaching puppies and dogs to sit nicely before playing with other dogs, to encourage reward (playing with other dogs) for quiet behavior, and owners making decisions about which dogs their own dog gets to play with.

For many people, there is a sense that dogs should be free to be dogs. While this seems like a charming idea, we need to understand that the consequences of that can be life threatening for the dog.

When dogs make their own decisions about how to behave, they can quickly revert to feral behaviors, which are not always appropriate in our human society. The reason dogs have been domesticated is that they were the wolves that were most easily TRAINED and willing to have relationships with humans. When we don’t honor that, there are very deep-seated, hard-wired behaviors that will soon surface.

With puppies, I see so many that are allowed to run off leash, sleep on beds or on the furniture, and destroy homes because the owner somehow feels that freedom is the right and humane thing to do. In fact, too much freedom can be the catalyst for aggression, or neurotic behaviors such as separation anxiety and destruction of home items.

There is a critical imprinting period with puppies up to 16 weeks old. What we teach intentionally and unintentionally will stay with a puppy for his lifetime. If we teach our puppy that we are his littermates, he will treat us like that the rest of his life with biting, mouthing, jumping and disrespect for critical commands such as “come.”

If we accidentally pet a dog for jumping, that jumping will last forever. If we own a big dog, jumping can become a horrific behavior that hurts someone that might have a hidden disability, or children.

Hidden disabilities can be balance problems or medications that can cause bleeding. You would never know by looking at someone that they cannot tolerate your jumping dog.

If we allow the environment to positively reinforce NOT coming when called (like another dog to play with), then our lifesaving “come” command can become useless in an emergency.

Puppies are like children in many ways. No one would open the front door for a 2-year-old child and say, “come back when you want.” And no one would give their keys to the car and a credit card to an 8-year-old child. Yet, letting puppies run without a long line, or in an area that is not confined, is exactly that. Allowing puppies on a sofa or bed is literally the same thing to a dog. As a dog sees it, the higher you are, the higher you are in social status. A puppy on a bed tells the puppy there are no leaders on this bus and so you will be treated with no respect from the puppy.

I am not going to tell a puppy owner they can never let their dog on a sofa or in bed with them, BUT, they should wait until that puppy earns the privilege, just like being 16 to get a driver’s license. People need to learn rules to feel confident in their lives and to know how to make decisions. It is the same with puppies.

Take the time very early to train your puppy to give your puppy the proper attitude toward people and other dogs. A well-trained dog is such a blessing to live with! tws

ven more than humans, pets are the companions of our lives.

But, sadly, pets rarely ever outlive us. They take lots of care, and—like a baby—can’t speak about their ills or complaints (on the other hand, maybe that’s a good thing) but must be fed, bathed and cared for at regular intervals. And, over the years, pets can get vocal, barking to say “hello,” “take me for a walk,” or “feed me.”

Pet owners do become adept at reading their own animals, however, and when animals are hurt or ill, they will show us that by their behavior.

If one’s pet suffers from anxiety, pain, noise phobia, epilepsy, digestive issues or inflammation, there are a variety of medications that can treat all of these separately. Or, more recently, owners are turning to more natural substances, such as bone broth, colloidal silver and cannabinol (CBD). Like humans who have found relief from these natural remedies, pets may also benefit from CBD’s properties.

CBD is derived from either hemp or cannabis oil, and can be given orally or in other products like biscuits and capsules. CBD is not psychoactive. It will not make your dog have the munchies.

Vets seem to be accepting of, but not completely sold on, CBD. “It doesn’t hurt at all, but there are no stats that says it’s helpful,” said Karsten Fostvedt, a Ketchum-based veterinarian. “I read five to 10 veterinary articles a day and have yet to read a good study on its effects or lack of effects.”

Anecdotal evidence does suggest CBD helps with pesky issues.

Indeed, even for general wellness, pet owners are dosing their animals with CBD as part of the daily regimen.

“People use it for behavioral issues, cancer and any type of medical problem,” Fostvedt said. “It’s certainly not hurting. But there are no good medical trials. There will be, of course.”

But Fostvedt also said he sees “stoned dogs” a couple of times a year, after the dogs have mistakenly eaten pot cookies or brownies.

“People want to treat their animals as kindly as possible; you have to be careful,” Fostvedt said.

Bob Craig, at Clifton Natural Foods, in Cincinnati, Ohio, sells CBD to many customers and uses it on his own pets.

“I have a 14-year-old dog and an 11-year-old cat who both have health problems ranging from achy joints to skin issues,” Craig said.

“After I started giving them CBD three to four times a day, their problems disappeared. I see all sorts of problems here [at his store].

Pets have more cannabinoid receptors than we do.”

Indeed, humans and animals all have what research scientists call the endocannabinoid system. According to the British Journal of Pharmacology, in the 1990s Dr. L.A. Matsuda discovered what he and other researchers called a complex network of cannabinoid receptors (CBr) expressed in cells of both the central and peripheral nervous system.

While there is still much to discover about these receptors, the anecdotal evidence is enough for many people. If it helps, and doesn’t do any harm, it’s a treat. Just don’t get your dog stoned. tws

GAIN A SKIP IN YOUR STEP

P

BY AIMEE DURAND

eople will find an extra skip in their step when they become goat owners. These nimble nibblers will quickly climb to the top of the normal daily routine. Though caring for goats takes a lot of time and energy, the returns on this investment include a lifelong bond and constant entertainment.

Goats kick, bounce, jump, climb, butt heads, give playful nudges, run, snuggle and reach for the highest ground. They have been known to climb trees, on parked cars, roofs, and railings. They will follow their owners like a puppy while nudging and licking. Escape artists at heart, goats will also amuse and confound with their flexibility and perching skills. They are high-energy animals that lift owners’ spirits.

From cuddling to butting, each goat has its own personality. Their lifespan is 15 to 18 years, so owners should expect a high level of commitment.

Goats are herd animals, and though they will bond with their owner, it’s important they have a goat buddy.

During the day, play is important. Goats get along well with other animals. Leash training while learning the lay of the land can be combined with walking Fido. It is important to keep goats occupied. A busy goat is a happy goat.

Proper facilities, space and time management are requirements to foster these bouncing bundles.

Before you bite off more than you can chew, talk to other goat owners. Choosing the right goat and knowing the proper terminology of doe, kid, buck and wether are useful in planning your long-term goals. Selecting bottle-fed newborns will be more time consuming. Smaller goats, like Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarfs, are docile and take up less space.

Basic housing requirements will consist of about 200 square feet per goat in a fenced area. They need a shed to get out of the weather and a place to climb. Exploring and exercise are very important for these curious creatures. A place to climb can be easily assembled with boards made into ramps, strategically placed logs and stumps, or you can go all out and build a kicking playground.

Chores will be added to your daily to-do list.

Mornings and evenings will include quick wellness checks of hooves, behavior and overall appearance. All of this can be done while setting up hay, grain, fresh water and checking the mineral block. As you grow with your herd, you will discover what makes each goat unique and a routine that works best. The interaction of petting and chatting will be welcomed by these social critters and carry your cares away.

Though not exactly true, goats are known to eat everything. Expectations for them to only eat weeds and mow tough areas may not go exactly as planned; roaming kids will find trees and gardens tasty. A maintained diet will help keep them satisfied, but curiosity often wins, and they will gnaw on fabrics, paper and various brush. Additional treats such as apples and carrots are appreciated and fun to watch as they crunch away.

If goats are eating odd items, pushing their heads against the wall or constantly grinding their teeth, a trip to the vet is warranted. Vitamin deficiency is common in goats and will need to be addressed quickly.

Taylor Straley, a resident of Ketchum, knows all about these kids and what it takes to care for them. Her family decided on goats as pets during a family member’s recovery from an accident. They had the space and wanted something new to focus on. This fresh start leaped into their lives and won over their hearts.

“It was therapeutic having to be there for them,” Straley said. “They love humans so much,” she said.

Straley mentioned that caring for a dog is far easier, but the extra time and care goats require is worth it. When the family received their goats, they were the size of kittens and required feedings multiple times a day. Baby goats on bottles provided such excitement they invited friends over on different days to join in. Through feedings and play, these sensitive creatures became part of their lives. Staley said one of her favorite memories is coming home to find the goats on the roof of the garage.

“As pets, it is definitely not an easy procedure, but you do love them,” she said. “I almost feel like they saved our lives.”

Caring for goats has mutual benefits for owner and pet; the caregiver gains joy surrounded by playful dashing about and circus-style antics. For the goats, they bask in the attention.

Integrating goats into your life is a big responsibility, but their invasive affection and intelligence will leave you in awe. With each encounter, a hectic lifestyle will be reexamined, and stress will melt away. Goats will lead you to greener pastures and make you feel like a kid again.

Goat Yoga As funny as it sounds, goat yoga is a real trend.

Classes are gaining popularity nationwide. The idea is that stretching out with tiny hooves prancing on your back can work wonders with tough knots.

Tener Rogers, a yoga instructor in Hailey, said she’s heard of several different novelty yoga styles, including beer yoga, weed yoga and goat yoga.

“I don’t care what kind of yoga it is as long it gets people to the mat,” Rogers said. “We need more playfulness in life.”

Last year, Emily Nielsen, a fitness instructor at Lively Balance Urban Farm in Boise, brought in pet goats after coaxing from clients. Nielsen said the trend began in Oregon, and when her clients first mentioned it, she laughed. After thinking about how lighthearted and soothing seven Pygmy goats were, she decided to give it a try.

“They are indeed therapeutic,” Nielsen said. “It is impossible to be grumpy around them.”

She said the goats “love the attention and the chance to climb and interact with the clients.

“The connection with nature and being around these loving creatures has been a positive experience,” Nielsen said. tws

WHY ANIMAL NORMALIZATION THERAPY FOR ANIMALS?

A

BY NANCY CAMP

nimal Normalization Therapy, ANT, is a unique combination of manual-therapy techniques derived from the principles of osteopathy with its main goal of “normalizing’” dysfunctions in the body. ANT respects a body’s innate desire and ability to heal itself. It does not incorporate any high-velocity adjustments; it is energy work. As a practitioner of ANT, I acknowledge and respect the needs of the individual on every level of existence. I believe that most “behavioral problems” in dogs and horses have their source in emotional and/or physical trauma.

The idea of providing bodywork for animals is catching on! But it is important to understand that bodywork does not “fix” problems and it is not a Band-Aid. Weak conformation and consequences of lifestyle contribute to discomfort ranging from occasional tight muscles to acute or chronic pain. Bodies move.

They stretch, compress, and collide during exercise, work and play, and they need help to maintain optimum physical function and comfort through all stages of life.

All animals have been subjected to trauma from birthing, an accident, abuse, or misguided management, and they cope in whatever way necessary to survive. The capacity the body has for coping is known as the law of homeostasis: “The process by which every living

thing makes continual adjustments to keep itself in a stable condition and function to the best of its ability.” Simply put, animals compensate and get on with their lives, but the memory of the trauma remains. Left unreleased, stress patterns create a state of tension and fear, which, over time, entrains the physical body. By the time a lameness or change in performance is noticed, the condition has likely been around for a long time and the origin and chain of events that led to the now glaring problem may be indecipherable.

I became interested in providing bodywork for animals 25 years ago when I realized that most of the training issues I experienced with horses where based in discomfort, not misunderstanding. My studies include the ancient Japanese energy healing art of Jin Shin, canine and equine acupressure, and craniosacral therapy. I began studying ANT in 2003 and attained certification in 2016. While the belief that the body is fixed by a pill or a procedure is deeply entrenched in the subconscious mind of our culture, I believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and it is much easier to cope with concerns in their early stages than it is if we wait until they become established. I view bodywork as a routine part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle for all of my animal friends.

3. Go for a swim, Hulen Meadow’s Pond is a great place to throw sticks & splash around.

4. Socialize with the local dogs at Warm Springs Ranch.

My goal is to build a partnership between the owner(s) and their best friend, where neither dictates, teamwork is more fun.

Working together where everyone wins.

Manners is also another one of my goals.

Helping us humans understand our 4 legged friends, honoring their wisdom, cunning and brilliant playful side.

Having fun in the process!
