For those who do not know Deanne Braye, she is a deaf actress that played Sue Thomas on the program Sue Thomas FBEye who also had a hearing dog. I don't know if a hearing dog will be used in Heroes or not, there is no mentioning but it appears that they are going to support deaf actors this...

Hope it helps! I had to sensitize Jessie to the sound first (by c/t for listening, then reacting-looking at the sound) before I moved on to the alert behavior and then combining the sound with the alert behavior. She is not a dog I would have picked as an actual hearing alert dog-too laid...

One Way Alert video now complete! Have a look!

All of my dogs habve been allowed/encouraged to sleep on the bed. Our GRs chose not to because it was too warm for them, but our short-coated dogs all loved it, some even sleeping under the covers. My daxie I had as a teen used to burrow down uner the covers and sleep at my feet until she got...

I'd highly recommned a free onloine train site called Training levesl. It teaches you to train your dog step by step. Levels.html By level 3, he'll be a great house dog, by level 5, you'll be able to figure how to teach anything! Just doing 10 minutes once or twice a day! I used it...

Just like having a baby, you need to plan for a dog. If you've never had one, most training facilities will not give you one as the biggest issue they find is once they get them, people who have not had a dog before don't want it because it is a lot of work-think having a baby in the house that...

I wonder if they've considered retraining the dog? Get a clicker and start clikc and treating for calm behavior (and keep the dog on a leash as they train).

You might be okay then in approaching your building manager/owner and asking what they require in the way of allowing a companion dog. Get it in writing. If the building chances owners/managers you want proof that you are allowed. Also, in case they change their policy down the road, you will...

A dog can only be used as a service dog for only one person officially, although it may serve more than one person in the household. However, it is very hard on a dog to alert for two or more people. By law, they only have to accept a dog that IS a service dog. It is up to the owners...

In Canada, there are many more regulations than the US. Check out my blog, post number 4 for the list of things an owner-trained dog needs to be certified in BC. The province of BC regulates certification.

Yesterday I was contacted by another training organization that might help you. I think she said she was out of Burnaby but serves the Lower Mainland. West Coast Assistance Teams 604 293-1211.

Back in the 1970's, we had a basset. She was a doll! My sister's girl guide leaders bred her and my dad brought her home (without my mom's knowledge as he had habit to do with dogs). She was a great family dog: very tolerant and very long so counch have many hands on her at once! LOL! Loved to...
