DOG PARKS - DREAMS OR DISASTERS WAITING TO HAPPEN?
Ladies,
I think dog parks are fine for Jet, but I do worry about the mix of large and small dogs running loose and the plethora of owners who do not understand doggie body language. Do you use dog parks and recommend them?
Advantages:
o Dog socialisation+
o Dog-oriented people can meet and interact
o Doggy play dates can be arranged
o Physical+ and Mental Stimulation Advantages for dogs
o Educational Advantages such as good opportunity for owners to learn about dogs through observation and provides the opportunity to learn from more experienced owners
o Opportunity for well-mannered-dog advocates to demonstrate how they turned their dog into a well-mannered dog
Disadvantages:
o Potential of danger from aggressive dogs
o Un- desexed dogs ( of both sexes!) may create problems
o Potential for parasites and disease - especially with shared waterbowls and contaminated ground regardless of whether faeces has been collected or not.
o Potential for lack of impulse control and over-excitement
o May not appropriate for small and large dogs at the same time. Many dogparks overseas have separate parks for small and large dogs
o Some people will not be educated enough about dogs to know if a dog park is appropriate for their dog in the first place ( eg aggressive dogs should not go)
o Some people will not recognise inappropriate pack behaviour
o Potential for arguments
o Potential liability issues
Things to consider:
o Some people will not be educated enough about dogs to know if a dog park is appropriate for their dog in the first place
o Must have clear rules ie liability for council versus liability for individuals

DOG INTELLIGENCE
You are no doubt aware of the book on Dog Intelligence by Stanley Coren a professor of psychology in Vancouver. This is the book which lists Border Collies, Poodles and German Shepherds as the most intelligent dogs. I have been reading some of his articles from Science journals where he states he used "understanding of new commands" and "obey first command" as his standards of intelligence. The drawback of this rating scale, by the author's own admission, is that it is heavily weighted towards obedience related behavioural traits (e.g. working or guard dogs), rather than understanding or creativity (e.g. hunting dogs). As a result, some breeds may appear lower on the list due to their stubborn or independent nature, but this nature does not make them unintelligent or impossible to train.
Coren also believes that dogs such as Border Collies have intelligence on par with a 2 year old. He has reviewed numerous studies to conclude that dogs have the ability to solve complex problems and are more like humans and other higher primates than previously thought.
The intelligence of various types of dogs does differ and the dog's breed determines some of these differences, Coren says. "There are three types of dog intelligence: instinctive (what the dog is bred to do), adaptive (how well the dog learns from its environment to solve problems) and working and obedience (the equivalent of 'school learning').
As for language, the average dog can learn 165 words, including signals, and the "super dogs" (those in the top 20 percent of dog intelligence) can learn 250 words.Dogs can also count up to four or five, said Coren. And they have a basic understanding of arithmetic and will notice errors in simple computations, such as 1+1=1 or 1+1=3.
Four studies he examined looked how dogs solve spatial problems by modeling human or other dogs' behavior using a barrier type problem. Through observation, Coren said, dogs can learn the location of valued items (treats), better routes in the environment (the fastest way to a favorite chair), how to operate mechanisms (such as latches and simple machines) and the meaning of words and symbolic concepts (sometimes by simply listening to people speak and watching their actions). During play, dogs are capable of deliberately trying to deceive other dogs and people in order to get rewards, said Coren. "And they are nearly as successful in deceiving humans as humans are in deceiving dogs

Doggy Podcasts
If you're on Itunes (or other) have a look at the many podcasts available on dog training - Victoria Stillwell (it's me or the dog) has a series, as does Ian Dunbar and quite a few others - great listening while you're on a walk!

Best Gumboots or Waterproof Shoes?
Having worn soaking wet joggers for several hours last Sunday, I was reminded that I need to buy some good comfortable waterproof shoes. Now I do have some heavy duty hiking boots that will suffice, but I have seen some triallers wearing very funky gumboots and/or some waterproof gardening shoes made by "Sloggers." I know the fishing crowd also have waterproof shoes but do you ladies have any suggestions?

Flyball Mayhem
After being away last week, we arrived at FLYBALL beginners class to find a whole lot of new faces – probably around 30 of them! The three classes we joined in last year just before Christmas had been relatively quite with mostly experienced dogs so it was good to be back in our depth.
Having said that, starting and then having a break obviously has some learning benefits. I have noticed it with new tricks when I just do a couple (literally 4 or 5) repetitions and then don’t try again for a few weeks and it seems that they must have thought about what they were doing during the break!
The same happened tonight – not a single jump was missed – over-over-over-over. Both Pepper and Rosie even waited on stays while I went up the other end of the jumps (this because Pepper got a little scared at being ‘held’ – one thing I will have to do more of but there’s hardly a need when you can click behaviours!).
We also practiced the ‘box’ by going over a jump, around a pole and back over the jump. Both were exceptional and got it on just a click or two.
On Saturday at the Vicki Austin seminar one of the other attendees asked if a dog’s brain got ‘full’ as they got older because his dog wasn’t able to learn new things – Rosie at 9.5 years learns new behaviours every day – just this week we put together our first behaviour chain – with five clicks she learnt ‘flat’ (to lie on her side) and this was put with ‘bang bang’ – ‘down’ – ‘flat’. Well, two days and 15 repetitions later – tonight she ‘died’ from 2 metres away in a paddock full of barking crazy dogs. That tells me the only thing that can get ‘full’ (or stuck) are primate brains!!!!

Blog Management
Is there any easy way to see what new comments have been added without having to into each blog? I also thought there was a box to tick to recieve by email (or rss feed?) but cannot find it? Any ideas?
It's okay - now I've found it - the rss feed address to add to outlook is:
http://bdclickclique.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
(This is under tools, account settings, rss feeds, new)
(And if you want to paste text, in the 'blog' switch to edit Html tab (rather than compose) and it then lets you paste!)

Training in drive
Has anyone had a look at the training in drive package from K9 Pro? I have to admit that I'm pretty tmpted, from a competition point of view. I've seen some pretty amazing results from this. I wonder if it would be possible to do as a group, or even see what it would cost to get a workshop together?
Anyone else interested?

Hope you all like the photos. I agree Niccola, that you have posted the best photos onto the front page of the blog - they were my favourits as well.
John has said that if we ever want any more photos taken, he would be happy to do so. He could take the shots more front on, with the dogs for example being in a semi circleetc. This way we might get a better view of all the dogs.

Best Clicker DVDs and Books?
Question for Angela if I may. I have subscribed to Karen Pryors KPCT newsletter, have ordered Karen Pryors Clicker Training book and have watched Gabe's great DVD Clicker Training the Perfect Foundation. (I have some of my own DVDs but they are more Schutzhund related - but do use clickers.) I have seen the Bow Wow DVDs advertised and the Kathy Sdao various collections too. Given I have Valentines Day, Birthday and later on Mothers Day coming up - what DVDs in particular - but also books do you recommend ? I am thinking of getting copy of the DVD that Gabe has - I intend to loan it around the club to people like Peter ( and Clyde the beagle) and possibly Charlie if he is interested - but really would like something more advanced too.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks for your time.
Training with Benefits
I really enjoyed today's session again, and I'm going to miss our get togethers this session. I think (aside from the great training!) one of the biggest benefits has been our discussions. I've found it really helpful to bounce ideas around with a like minded but diverse group of people. We all have our own take on things, while still having similar goals and ideals in training.
So thanks, folks, I've really enjoyed these sessions and your company, and I look forward to continuing to work around our other training obligations to get together at least semi-regularly. And big thanks to Ange for all her hard work in coordinating our sessions!

Hitting the ground running
I had a great class last night. I had the Silver newbies and Ann took the repeaters. My group could all do on the mat and sit stays without any problems and for the time required. Heeling was really good too. Pretty amazing for the first night, particularly as the dogs are all excited by their return to the grounds.
I'll need to nag about steering wheels and reins over the next few weeks though.

Tully and fluffies
I've been reading the posts on aggressive behaviours with interest, and will try and view some of the related links today. It seems to me that the problem with Tully is her inconsistent aggression with others (usually small and fluffy) dogs. For example, she's had no problems with Charlie's dog and is okay with Charlie (too many Charlies here!). Sometimes one growly contact seems to be enough for her and then she's mates with that dog. Here I'm noting my observations with Gabe's Charlie and with my daughter's dog Buckley. She has, with the other dogs in our click clique, made friends with new dogs using the oval and with class mates at BDOC. Her behaviour on first sighting any new dog is the same: exclusive attention. By exclusive I mean disinterest in anything other than the other dog. It seems that it's when the other dog reacts fearfully or aggressively to the attention that Tully responds with aggression. There are no doubt exceptions to these observations. Generally speaking, I don't believe exposure to situations where there are dogs in the distance will be helpful as it's not all dogs, or even all small fluffy dogs. I'm interested in your views/advice as I would like things to change.
Desensitization & Counter Conditioning
Ladies,
I am interested in helping fearful and/or aggressive dogs and have been reading up on the difference between desensitisation and counter conditioning ( see below if you are unsure). I was interested to read some examples of how counter conditioning ( in particular aversive counter conditioning) is used with humans, thus have included an example at the end of this post!
PS - Oops a bit long for a blog. I will keep the next one shorter!

I was interested to read some examples of how counter conditioning ( in particular aversive counter conditioning) is used with humans, thus have included an example at the end of this post!
Desensitization:
Desensitization is a process in which we reduce the strength of a response to a certain stimulus. For example, if your dog responds fearfully to the site of another dog, by desensitizing your dog to other dogs we will reduce the fearful response.
Desensitization works by gradually exposing the dog to low levels of the fearful stimulus.
In our example, we may let the dog see other dogs from a distance long enough so they do not show fear. Gradually, we will let the other dogs get closer and closer as long as the dog shows no fear.
Desensitization is usually accompanied by another process called counter conditioning.
Counter Conditioning:
Counter conditioning is really nothing more than classical conditioning. The big difference is that the dog already has an association between 2 events so changing this association and creating a new one requires a lot of repetitions.
Think of it this way. Let’s say Pavlov would have done the experiment a bit differently. Let’s say Pavlov would have started by associating the ring of a bell to a painful electric shock. The dog would have known that a bell ring means an electric shock and would have displayed fearful or aggressive behavior when the bell rang.
Now, after hundreds of repetitions and after this association is in place Pavlov would go ahead and start associating the same bell ring with food. Pavlov would have tried to counter condition the dog to the bell ring. It meant pain, and we want it to mean food from now on.
How long would it have taken to accomplish that? I can’t answer this specifically but it would have taken a long time and many repetitions.
Back to our example: we want to counter condition our fearful dog to accept other dogs. By combining counter conditioning and desensitization we can accomplish that. We will start exposing our dog to other dogs at a very low level – in this case a far enough distance (that’s the desensitization part). In addition, we will give the dog very tasty treats when he sees the other dogs (that’s the counter conditioning part). Gradually, we can convince the dog that other dogs mean good treats.
Human example!!

Dumbell Work - 1 min Youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmhv1e57lvY
I am just messing around with uploads - 1 minute of video takes an hour to upload - nearly 90mb! I've missed the bit with Rosie just looking past the dumbell (avoidance) then dropping it on my foot - ouch!
I think I'll bring the vid on Saturday so watch out!

Clicking to calm
I've just been talking to a friend, who's small dog has developed some dog aggressve behaviours after being attacked by another dog a few months ago. Obviously fear aggression - he's still submissive when he actually meets other dogs, just defensive. Her dog trainer recommended correcting any defensive moves with a leash pop, which is only making him worse.
I've suggested that she try something similar to what Ange suggested for Tully - set up a distance from where she knows other dogs will pass, and click and reward for calm behaviour, and focus on her instead of the other dog. Rewarding for the right sort of behaviours, and making other dogs approaching a positive experience again. It makes sense to her, which is a good start, so we'll see how it goes.
Anyone got any other suggestions?

Charlie's Retrieve Training
Charlie is such a complicated little character. He is quite happy to retrieve the dumbbell with his tail wagging and bring it back to me (dumping it at my feet).
I am now starting to backchain, and concentrate on the hold, to avoid the dumping of the dumbbell at my feet. However, the instant I present the dumbell to him to hold, his whole demeanour changes.
He becomes quite nervous, and will only lightly close his mouth on it. He looks away, scratches, anything to avoid holding it.
So, I've ordered a book called THE CLICKED RETRIEVER, through the Dogwise site.
Hopefully this book may have some techniquies to shape the hold, and avoid the stress Charlie is feeling.
Wish me luck

Dances with Dogs
DANCES with DOGS – is active in Canberra, Queanbeyan and surrounds. Come along and see what it’s all about.
Dances with Dogs (DWD), isn’t really about dancing (no tutus, ballet slippers or waltz partnering) – rather it’s about stepping out with your dog, moving and performing tricks (like spins, leg weaves and rollovers) to the beat of a piece of music you select.
In class you will learn lots of tricks (that suit you and your dog), how to selecting and editing suitable music you really like and building a routine. All training has a positive, motivational base and uses rewards NOT punishment.
DWD is a lot of fun and definitely enhances the bonds and control you have with your dog. You may join simply to learn, play and socialise. However, for those interested, there are also ANKC sanctioned competitions and titles. Competition levels commence with Beginners performing routines between 1 and 1&1/2 minutes only; and progress through Novice and Intermediate to Advanced (which has a maximum of 4 minute routines). We even have international video clip comps for the very keen.
So ... when & where?
Training: is held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings – choose the day that suits you best. Blocks of classes run for 7 to 8 weeks, and we often have some half-day seminars on a weekend for those interested.
· The more advanced group train from 7:00 to 8:00 pm; and
· New-starters from 8:00 to 9:00 pm.
Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th of February at 8:00 pm are introductory nights for new starters – there are no charges this night. Please bring your dog. You are welcome to come early and watch the more advanced group train. However, as dogs in class are generally working off-lead, I ask that new-starters keep their dogs outside until the more advanced class is finished and their dogs either crated or put in cars etc.
Venue: The large pavilion at the Queanbeyan Show Grounds; entry via the gates on Glebe Ave, Queanbeyan.
If you have any questions, or would like a location map emailed to you, please email our head instructor, Tony Turner (tony@irony.id.au) or call him on 0403 640 576.

Sometimes it's the obvious!
For a while now Rosie has been sitting to far forward on the 'return to heel' - I was just doing some dumbell throws (in the kitchen no less, sorry fridge for the bump) and a lightbulb went off in MY head to click when she was nearly in position, ie., she went round behind me and I could see her face at my left and clicked - she was in stand rather than sit. Two more times in stand and then I just waited and 3 secs later she offered a sit, in perfect position. Three more perfect returns with a sit - we ended with a jackpot. She must have thought I was an idiot :)
