Dog Training Checklist – 18 Things Your Dog Should Know

I was flipping through my Golden Retriever Guide Dog Puppy In Training, Apache’s folder and came across a dog training checklist. Actually this wasn’t any old dog training checklist because Apache is training to be a guide dog. This was a list detailing 18 things your guide dog puppy should know before he goes in for formal guide dog training.

As puppy raisers we receive our guide dog puppies in training at around 7 weeks of age and from that point we work on their socialization, obedience, house manners, etc. until they are approximately 18 months old. At 18 months we return our puppies to the Guide Dog school where they continue their “formal” education for another 6 months. After about 6 months our puppies are matched with a visually impaired partner and the 2 work together as a guide dog team until the guide dogs retirement.

Dog Training Checklist

I work hard on my guide dog puppy’s obedience, socialization and house manners and by the time my puppy is 14 months of age I try to have all 18 items on the dog training checklist marked off. Why 14 months? Because sometimes a puppy in training can get turned in as early as 14 months of age.

Just in case you were wondering about this checklist, here’s a look at the 18 dog training items I try to complete by the time my puppy is 14 months of age.

In For Training Checklist

This Pertains To Dogs 14 Months And Older

1. Does Your Dog Know His/Her Name?
2. Does Your Dog Know How To Sit For Meals?
3. Does Your Dog Know How To Sit?
4. Does Your Dog Know How To Down?

11. Is Your Dog Able To Relieve On Leash?
12. Is Your Dog Able To Relieve On Different Surfaces?
13. While Driving Can Your Dog Lay Quietly?
14. Is Your Dog Allowed Off Leash In Your House Without Getting Into Trouble?

18. Can Your Dog Respond To Basic Obedience Commands When Given By Someone Other Than You?

How Did Dublin Do With This Dog Training Checklist?

Of course Dublin was perfect when he started his formal guide dog training a few months ago Honestly, I would answer yes to all of the above questions for Dublin, but I would not say he totally mastered all of the above.

Dublin was good at the sit/stay and down stays, but if you threw in the right distraction he may not be able to hold it for 3/5 minutes. Although he did very well with his sit/down stays when we attended guide dog obedience class at the Sylmar campus. His other trouble spot was “can your dog walk on a loose leash while passing other dogs”. The answer is yes, but some dogs distracted him more than others. We worked very hard on both of these areas and saw a lot of improvement in Dublin. As I said I would say “yes” as my answer to the questions, but he had not yet mastered everything.

Do you have a checklist that you follow when training your puppy? How would your dog do if you had to answer all the questions on this dog training checklist?

How to Stop your dog from barking

Dog makes baby laugh!

This Baby is CUTE!

Remembering Soo, the service dog

Farewell Soo, loyal companion and dear friend.

THERE was great sadness in my home last week. Soolam, my senior service dog, was put down. He was 13. The decision to euthanise Soo, as my other dogs and I fondly knew him, was not at all easy.

The move was quickly reached when the Golden Retriever could no longer stand or walk. He could not even eat his meals without throwing up.

However, everything about Soo’s final journey on earth turned out to be as intriguing and uncanny as the day when he first arrived.

He was barely two months old then. The pup was a gift from a couple who were doctors. The purpose was to see if a retriever could make a good service dog.

Friend for life: The writer spending precious moments with Soo before he was euthanised.

He needed to be fed as many as four times a day. I had to clean up after a dog that seemed to have an endless supply of poo.

The most difficult part, however, was to grab the pup and put him back in his crate. Fortunately, his senior canine partners literally lent their paws to solve the problem.

Soo had a knack of chasing the big dogs around the house. One of them would cleverly use the situation to dash back to me so that I could grab Soo.

The experience of raising and training Soo helped to psyche me up. And as for Soo, he went on to become a service dog that was parallel to none.

He was the perfect companion to attend meetings with. He’d been to church numerous times and even stayed completely unnoticed at government meetings. Some of the chairpersons discovered his presence only after the event.

He has helped me in unusual places, too. These include in the toilet at the United Nations building in Kuala Lumpur (when my shoe was out of reach and the soap fell on the floor).

He also sat through a serious discussion with people with AIDS at the Malaysian AIDS Council.

On top of all these, Soo had appeared scores of times in the media which included newspapers, TV and radio. He was the main star of a special video which featured my service dogs.

Once when I was caught in a 30-minute thunderstorm in a forest, Soo chose to get drenched with me in the heavy downpour rather than seek shelter elsewhere.

In his more than a decade of service, Soo relished his car rides the most – so much so that I became his private chauffeur. We must have travelled thousands of kilometres over the decade and only once, in all those years, did he throw up in the back seat.

Once our adventure led us all the way to Penang on a gruelling 24-hour trip where Soo performed and wowed several hundred people at a dog event with his service dog skills.

On that fateful Sunday morning, an extremely feeble Soo looked straight into my eyes. It was as if he was telling me to be strong for him and do the right thing to painlessly end his suffering.

He never once whimpered or flinched. He took every opportunity to lay his head on my shoulder or hands whenever I was by his side.

Despite the pain, Soo remained resolute and dignified in the back seat of my car during his final journey to the veterinarian. He was on my lap with his head held high as I wheeled into the clinic.

I made sure that my hero fell asleep before he entered into eternal sleep. The clinic didn’t charge me anything for putting a great dog down.

Another doctor, who is an expert in dog show winning breeds, offered to bury Soo in his yard at home.

My king, I’m proud to say, is now privileged to be the only retriever laid to rest with other national and international champion Doberman and German Shepherd Dog breeds that have crossed over the rainbow bridge before him.

Even more amazing is the fact that Soo is buried in the home of the mother of my latest and youngest service dog candidate, Dobe Ace Zhar the Doberman.

Last Saturday, Zhar and I were at an international dog show in KL with more than 200 dogs from all over Asia. And although I was the only person in a wheelchair there, Zhar stuck close to me much like Soo used to do during happier days.

And by a very strange coincidence, Zhar kept climbing up on my lap several times as if to say: “Don’t worry, you’re safe now. I’m with you.”

Angels don’t always come with wings; sometimes they have tails, even if it happens to be a rather short one.

Dog with the longest ears

BOULDER, Colorado (AP) - Harbor has over two feet (60 centimeters) of ears.

On Tuesday, the black-and-tan coonhound from Boulder, Colorado, gets the 2012 Guinness World Records title for "longest ears on a living dog."

His left ear is 12.25 inches (31.12 centimeters) long and his right is 13.5 inches (34.29 centimeters) long.

Owner Jennifer Wert says when her 8-year-old was a puppy, he would trip on his ears and roll down stairs.

These days, Wert says people often stop them to ask questions, take photos or tug on his ears.

Tigger, a bloodhound from Illinois who died in 2009, still holds the record for longest ears ever. One was 13.5 inches (34.29 centimeters) long, the other 13.75 inches (34.92 centimeters) long.

Coonhounds use their ears to help with scent.

50 dogs put their best paw forward as they vie for top honours at speciality show

GERMAN Shepherd lovers gathered at the SJK (C) Peng Bin in Bukit Tengah, Bukit Mertajam, Penang, for the speciality show organised by the German Shepherd Dog Club of Malaysia.

The show, held for the second time by the club, attracted about 50 German Shepherds from various parts of the country.

The dogs were evaluated under various classes — puppy (six to 12 months), junior (12 to 18 months), youth (18 to 24 months), adult (24 months and above) and Malaysian bred (above six months whelped locally).

They were divided into male and female categories.

The show was judged by Louis Donald, specially flown in from Australia, who has been involved in German Shepherd dog shows for 48 years.

Donald has been a judge for such shows in England, South Africa, India, Italy, Singapore, the Philippines, New Zealand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand and Hong Kong.

Sinus Vom Eichemplatz, at 25 months, was judged the best male German Shepherd.

Its owner Chong Lee Leong, 38, a businessman from Bukit Mertajam, said he was very happy that his canine had again come in first. It had previously won twice in other shows.

In the female category, 20-month-old Famy was declared champion.

Its owner Chee Ang Seang, 54, a businessman from Tanjung Bungah, said Famy had also won twice previously in other shows.

“I was confident she would make it based on her performance,” he added.

Club president Lawrance Lee said there was an increased interest in German Shepherds in the country.

“This can be seen in the quality of dogs in our Malaysian show rings today, and the feedback and participation on our online web pages,” he said.

Donald said the show was very well organised and luckily the rain stopped after an hour of heavy downpour during the recent event.

“Overall, I was very pleased with the quality of the dogs and the number which took part in the show. The breed is going on well here in Malaysia.

“I was in Malaysia 30 years ago and saw tremendous increase of the breed here then,” he added.

He said it was his second time here on the club’s invitation as judge.

Dog Abuse

PETALING JAYA: A video of a man abusing a dog has sparked a heated response from canine lovers on social networking site Facebook and triggered a nationwide hunt for him.

In the widely-circulated video, the unidentified man, believed to be a Malaysian, is seen using brutal force on a poodle in his attempt to get the dog to stand up on its hind legs.

Some of those who viewed the video have said the man is a Malaysian.

Several people also claimed to know his close friends.

Harsh lessons: The poodle being abused by the unidentified man in the video.

In one scene, when the dog returned to standing on its four legs, the man in frustration gave it a violent smack, sending the poodle flying.

The Facebook user who uploaded the 15-minute video last Friday said she had discovered it in a thumbdrive which she had found in a Kuala Lumpur shopping mall.

Thousands of animal lovers, shocked and angered by the man’s act, immediately called for his arrest.

“This is an outrage! Swift action ought to be taken on this man,” one Facebook user commented.

“The guy in the video is crazy to have done such a thing to the helpless animal,” another said. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is getting complaints and leads from callers.

“We have been receiving a lot of calls on the matter but we have no confirmation on the man’s identity,” SPCA office manager M. Shelvy said.

She also asked those with information to call the SPCA at 03-42565312 or 03-42535179.

Fun Day with Pets

KUANTAN: The Kuantan Animal Rescue & Education (KARE) group will be organising the 4th Doggie Open Day on Nov 14 in Taman Gelora with more exciting activities awaiting pet owners.

Organising chairperson Joyce Mah said the annual charity event from 8am onwards, would provide an opportunity particularly for dog lovers in Kuantan to bring their pets out for a fun-filled day.

Mah said there would be a dogathon, doggie games, a children colouring contest and stalls selling recycled items, food, drinks, pet products, cakes, souvenirs and others.

“Entry fee for the dogathon is RM35 and the participants will be given a KARE T-shirt and some goodies for their pets.

Furry friends: Dog owners will get a chance to let their pet dogs socialise with one another during the upcoming event.

“Each doggie games and children colouring contest are also priced at RM10 each,” she said, adding that proceeds from the event would be used for the spaying and neutering programme of stray dogs and cats.

Mah said the aims of the event were to reduce the rising population of strays and abandoned dogs and cats in Kuantan and to create awareness of dog ownership responsibilities.

“As pet owners, we must take care of our dogs and cats but we must also ensure that their offsprings are well taken care of.

“If we are not prepared to look after them, spaying and neutering is the best solution,” she said, adding that KARE would continue to organise programmes from time to time to raise funds for the welfare of strays.

Mah said public and corporate citizen’s support is essential for the event to be successful.

She said KARE was a voluntary organisation formed under the Association of Sustainable Kuantan to educate the younger generations on proper caring of animals.

Dog Bits its Rescuer

LOS ANGELES: A German shepherd hoisted to safety from the storm-swollen Los Angeles river Friday is fine, authorities said, but the firefighter who splashed down in the daring helicopter rescue was hospitalised after being bitten by the dog.

Los Angeles fire officials said 50-year-old Joe St. Georges, who suffered severe hand and arm injuries, was taken to County USC Medical Center.

“He has significant injuries, bites and punctures, to his hand and arm and is being seen by a specialist,” Los Angeles fire Capt Steve Ruda said. The 25-year department veteran was in good condition, Ruda said.

The dog, nicknamed Vernon after the Southern California town where he was found, did not have a name tag or computer chip, said Sgt. Charles Miller of the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority in Downey.

It was quarantined to be monitored for rabies, but “appears to be well-maintained and cared for,” Miller said.

At least 50 firefighters responded to reports that the dog was in the river. For an hour, firefighters stood at the top of the steep, concrete banks, throwing life vest and float rings, hoping the dog would grab on.

Most of the time, the canine walked along a pipe or ledge in the centre of the river, sometimes slipping. One firefighter got into the river and tried to catch him, but the dog took off. Soon the pipe was submerged.

When the helicopter hovered overhead, the dog scrambled to the side of the river and tried to climb the slippery sides, only to slip each time.

St. Georges finally splashed down from the helicopter, wrestled with the frightened canine and lifted it to safety, using the dog’s collar and a rope to hoist him up. Despite St. Georges’ injuries, he didn’t fail the dog.

At a late afternoon news conference, helicopter pilot Scott Bowman said St. Georges took a muzzle with him but he wasn’t able to get it on, “so he decided to go for the capture.”

Miller said the dog had some scrapes and worn nails, but was otherwise fine. “He was fearful when he first got here, understandably. He went through a big ordeal,” Miller said.

The dog will be quarantined for 10 days, unless the owner shows up with proof of rabies vaccination, Miller said. Then, the dog could be monitored at home. If the owner doesn’t show up, officials will try to find the dog a new home.

Garmin GPS Dog Tracking Collar

This articles is a Press Release by Garmin.

OLATHE, Kan., Jun 11, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (GRMN 31.97, -0.28, -0.87%) , the global leader in satellite navigation, announced today the DC(TM) 40 tracking collar, improving upon the very popular Astro GPS Dog Tracking System.

The new DC 40 is mounted on a durable one-inch orange polyurethane coated collar strap, and the small black GPS puck that used to ride on the top of the collar is now integrated into the unit's main housing. As a result, owners can combine the DC 40 with most standard e-collar receivers -- eliminating the need to put two separate collars on a dog. The charging connection has been completely redesigned as well, with the charger clamping around a housing that has no recessed areas for mud to accumulate. Even the LED charging light on the collar has been reconfigured to flash while charging, and glow solid when fully charged.

"The refinements that are found in the new DC 40 are the result of feedback from hunters and trainers," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "The new collar is more convenient and more durable than ever. Whether purchasing an Astro for the first time or upgrading from an older model, sporting dog owners will love the refinements that are packed into the new DC 40."

Another new feature of the DC 40 is Collar Lock -- an option that lets users create a four-digit PIN number that helps prevent others from seeing their dog's whereabouts. That's a feature that field trial judges will find useful to ensure that an Astro is used only as a recovery tool when a dog in competition becomes lost.

Used in conjunction with the Astro 220 receiver, the system pinpoints exactly where your dog is and what he's doing -- running, pointing, or treeing -- even in dense cover, up to seven miles away, depending on terrain.

The Astro GPS Dog Tracking System requires very little configuration straight out of the box, and is extremely simple to use. Once the transmitter and receiver acquire a GPS signal, the receiver automatically lets users know the location of their dog. There are no subscriptions or setup fees required to use the device.

Astro can track up to 10 dogs per receiver at once, and the collar gives location updates every five, 10, 30 or 120 seconds (user selectable). Battery life is 17-48 hours (based on update rate) on the rechargeable DC 40 collar and 24 hours on the Astro 220 receiver, which is powered by two AA batteries. Both the DC 40 collar and the Astro 220 receiver are waterproof.

The Astro also has a map page to illustrate where a dog is and where it has been -- in relation to the hunter -- and allows hunters to determine if they have covered nearby ground. Garmin's unique Covey Counter(TM) lets hunters mark the precise location, time of day, and elevation where they encountered their quarry -- and users can easily note the number of birds flushed and how many were taken.

The Astro has a microSD card slot that allows users to insert optional pre-programmed topo maps or road maps, which can be invaluable in an unfamiliar area. Highly-detailed 24K topo maps give hunters an idea of the most productive areas to hunt, while road maps feature the same basic functions as an automotive GPS navigation unit -- even in rural areas. The optional road map data can also give turn-by-turn directions to motels, gas stations, restaurants, and even veterinarians.

The new DC 40 collar is included as part of the Astro GPS Dog Tracking system. For those wishing to upgrade from a previous generation of collar, the DC 40 can be purchased separately. Visit www.garmin.com for more information and pricing.
