Get in with your dog. With you by his side, your
dog will have more confidence and trust that he
will be safe.
Never use force. Besides being plain cruel, if a
fearful dog is tossed in the water and forced to
swim, it can kill his enthusiasm in the future. Allow
him time to acclimate to the water gradually..
Use the buddy system. A dog is much more likely
to get in the water when he sees another dog
already in and having a great time.

Food for
As I sit here watching the
miracle of life playing out in
the whelping box, I have more
questions than answers.....
out their mother for sustenance?
My babies are safe and warm with a
mother who is well fed and yet my
thoughts wander to some of the
horror stories I hear about, where
homeless mother give birth under
cars, in shelters and in the wild
alone and cold. It breaks my heart
and angers my soul that people are
not responsible for their animals.
Thought...
long and fretful and still filled with
wonder and amazement. The first
few weeks after the breeding,
the question of the day is, will we
have puppies because despite the
millions of unwanted dogs in the
country when we want a litter it
sometimes doesn’t happen!
When the puppies are all delivered
does the mother want to move them
away from the birth site because of
the scent or does she just want a
cleaner area? More questions.
Or worse the people who think they
can breed dogs and relinquish all
responsibility as soon as they grab
the check and those puppies leave
the premises.
It amazes me how nature and nurture
work hand in hand to allow these
puppies to survive.
How does a new mother have the
instinct to clean these babies, gently
pick them up and despite complete
exhaustion not sit or lie on them?
Never having smelled their mother
before, how do these blind deaf
minutes old puppies manage to seek
I watch these babies lie in the
whelping box and I can’t help but
wonder what will their lives be like?
How can anyone watch puppies
curled up and cooing in the box and
consider turning them into fighting
dogs, or bait dogs or even abusing
such an animal? What is it in a
human that turns them so evil?
For a person such as myself the 9
weeks from conception to birth is
E Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.com
As delivery day unfolds, the bitch
becomes increasingly nervous. With
the actual arrival of the first puppies
she begins to pant and push and
within moments she has delivered
a puppy, severed the umbilical cord
and eaten the placenta. Nature at it’s
best.
My bitches belly starts to swell
and my mind turns to all the things
that could go wrong during labor.
For some reason puppies like to
come in the middle of the night
when the vet is not available.
Another question not answered.
Does the cover of darkness make
the bitch feel safer delivering her
pups?
Once the puppies are delivered,
the breeders job begins. Neonatal
stimulation begins on day three and
socializing and stimulation should
never stop for these puppies.
Breeding a litter should never be
taken lightly.
As the days pass and the puppies
continue to grow I still can’t sit by
the whelping box and not be amazed
by the eighth wonder of the world,
the miracle of birth and survival.

WHEN PIGS FLY:
AGILITY SUCCESS
with “IMPOSSIBLE” DOGS
by JANE KILLION
If you were nodding your head when you
read the above paragraph, then you and I
are kindred spirits. I have two passions in
life – Bull Terriers and agility. Unfortunately, about the only thing that you can
count on from an untrained Bull Terrier is
that, the instant you take off the leash, he
will run away from you, as far as he can, as
fast as he can. This does make it challenging to train them in agility, and no one
would have blamed me if I had given up
when I discovered this un-encouraging
trait. I did not give up, however, because
I loved my dogs and saw something in them
that told me they were just as smart and
capable as their more obedient classmates,
if only I could figure out how to get
through to them. I stuck with it, soaked
up everything I could about dog behavior
and dog training, and eventually earned the
unimaginable pleasure of putting agility
titles on my own little varmints.
I am going to present a series of training
articles that show you how to teach your
“impossible” dog to do agility. Much of
the agility advice you will receive from top
instructors will deal with shaving seconds
off your dog’s time, or teaching you the
best handling system to maximize your
dog’s performance. Friends, that stuff just
isn’t so helpful when your you’re watching
Cherry’s original mission in life was to
run away from me, but she eventually learned to jump through hoops for
me, instead! © Kenneth Reed Photography

For this first article, I have adapted
a piece from my book, “When Pigs
Fly: Training Success With Impossible
Dogs.” We will examine what makes a dog
challenging to train and present the case in
favor of the “impossible” dog. I want to
encourage you to look at the positive points
of your dog’s personality and understand
that, given the right approach, your dog
might not be so impossible as you think
he is!
YOU CAN DO AGILITY
WITH YOUR DOG!
The Impossible Dream
Consider the following descriptions of
three successful
performance dogs. Do
any of them resemble
your dog?
Dog number one is “The
Bolter.” She attends basic
obedience class. With one
leash correction, she slows
down. If the correction is
repeated, she stops. If a
third try is hazarded, she
sits down like a mule and
patently refuses to move.
When off leash, however,
this dog has no trouble
moving very rapidly. Unfortunately, she is generally moving very rapidly
in the wrong direction.
She does not give a rat’s
behind about what her
handler wants her to do.
It takes a great deal of
Have you been to obedience or agility class and been humiliated
by how inattentive and wild your dog was? Do you really want
to do agility with your dog that you already own and love, but
feel like you are getting nowhere and no one knows how to
help you? Has it been suggested to you that you should just
switch breeds or trade in your dog for a more compliant model?
Don’t hand over the leash, just yet.
there is hope.
your dog jump out of the ring and
run off so fast that there is a little
cloud of dust behind him. What
does it matter which cross you put
where, if your dog’s nose is glued to
the ground at the startline? What
do you care about techniques to teach
your dog three-second weave poles,
when your dog won’t even go in the
same quadrant of the ring as the
weave poles? Make no mistake, the
handling techniques those top trainers outline generally are brilliant, but
you and your dog need to do some
background work before those handling techniques have any relevance
to you. The purpose of my articles
will be to help you learn how to train
the things you need but won’t get
from most training resources.
Dog Number One
Do you have a dog or a breed of dog that is not predisposed
to work with you?

for fear he might hyperventilate and
pass out, but with the Pigs Fly training
system he was able to overcome his
problems. Here he is, flying to his first
agility title. © Kenneth Reed Photography
sweaty, frustrating, effort just to capture
her after she runs off. Sometimes she actually has to be tackled.
Dog Number Two
Dog number two is “The Maniac.” He is
so highly excitable that his heart literally
beats out of control when he is in public.
He has to be on beta-blocker medication
to (in the words of his vet) “keep him from
keeling over.” Even a walk down the street
is out of the question. Any time he meets
a strange person or dog his heart races, his
tongue turns black, and he collapses on the
ground. Sometimes his excitement is so
great that he vomits and loses control of
his bowels. One time he became so over
stimulated by a visit from a neighbor that
veterinary intervention was required to save
his life.
Dog Number Three
Dog number three is “The Dud.” She
carefully and precisely follows her handler
around – at a walk. Toys, food, praise, and
handler gyrations bring absolutely no
change in her pace. She has two speeds –
dead slow or stopped.
After reading these descriptions, you may
find yourself re-reading my first sentence.

dogs?” Yes, I did. These are my Bull Ter-

capable of giving him the doggie equivalent
of a trip to the French Rivera if he does
what you want? Now, your talkin’.

Your dog, no matter what his
breed or type, loves to learn
and can be taught to do agility.
I have never met a dog that did
not like training and learning
new things. Pick the dog you
love first, and I will show you
how to have lots of fun running agility with him.

a young dog, tearing through the
weave poles. With the right training,
Ruby went from “Dud” to “Dynamic!”

riers, and they all have gone on to great
performance careers.
“The Bolter” is Cherry. Shortly after I
figured out how to train her, she achieved
nine agility titles, with twenty-four first
place finishes. Not bad for a dog that previously spent most of her time figuring out
how to run away from me.
“The Maniac” is Nicky, who earned his
first leg toward an American Kennel Club
obedience title at the Bull Terrier Club of
America’s National Specialty, going High
in Trial. Shortly after that, he completed
his AKC Novice Agility Preferred title.
That’s a long way from a dog who could
not even go out on a leash walk in the
neighborhood for fear of dropping dead
from the excitement.
“The Dud” is Ruby who, at eighteen
months, completed three agility titles. She
ran respectably quickly and was as much
as 10 seconds under time. Oh, by the way,
she was also Winners Bitch at The Bull
Terrier Club of America National Specialty that month. In order to beat out the
other dogs she had to show like a house
on fire for about two hours, and she did.
I’d say these are remarkable accomplishments for a dog that would almost never
Are you thinking, “Yeah, but
my dog is too hard to train”? I
sympathize with people who
insist that their dog is too difficult, too stubborn, too slow,
or too hyper to train, but I can’t
agree with them. As you can
see from the stories of my own
dogs, I have faced and dealt
with all of those issues The
only problem that I see is that
most people need a better understanding
of how dogs learn and how to teach them.
So, what’s the point?
Your dog, no matter what his breed or type,
loves to learn and can be taught to do agility. I have never met a dog that did not like
training and learning new things. Pick the
dog you love first, and I will show you how
to have lots of fun running agility with

WHY DOES MY DOG
SEEM HARD TO TRAIN?
The Nature of the Pigs Fly
Kinda Dog
Let’s talk about the term “difficult to train.”
When we say a dog is difficult to train, part
of what we really mean is that the dog is
not biddable. Biddable means willing to do
your bidding, just because you ask. Biddability is something that has been selectively bred into certain breeds that need to
work closely with humans. Herding breeds
need to respond to the shepherd’s commands. Gun dogs need to work as a team
with the hunter. Terriers need to think on
BIDDABLE: willing to carry out
the wishes of others: amenable,
compliant, conformable, docile,
obedient, submissive, supple,
tractable (Roget’s II: The New
Thesaurus, Third Edition 1995).
These are qualities that have
been highly prized by breeders of
working dogs throughout the
centuries. Careful breeding over
thousands of years has cultivated dogs that have an inclination
to both work with and take direction from man. If you are reading
this book, you probably do not
have one of those dogs. If you
laughed when you read the
definition of biddable you definitely do not have one of those
dogs. their own to outsmart and
kill vermin…hmm. Sounds like
we bred independent thinking
instead of biddability into
that group.
PIG-TIONARY
Before you throw up your hands and say,
“Well, there it is. My dog is genetically programmed to ignore me,” consider this: If
you were comfortably at home watching
TV, and your spouse said, “Go upstairs and
pack your suitcase” you would probably
say “Why?” If he or she answered, “Because I say so,” you might or might not
actually pack your bag, and you would probably be a little resentful about being ordered
around that way. Most people would want
the courtesy of an explanation. Even if
you did pack your bag, you would do so
reluctantly. If, instead of, “Because I say
so,” he or she said, “We just won the lottery
and to celebrate we are going to the French
Rivera!” you’d run upstairs right away and
pack, wouldn’t you? Well, non-biddable
dogs think the same way that you do. Biddable dogs would not ask “why?” if they
were told to go upstairs and pack their bags,
but non-biddable dogs would need more
information before they made their choices about whether or not to comply with
your request. Biddability, then, can be defined as removing the “Why?” from the
dog’s psyche. The biddable dog never asks
why, he just does what you are asking.
So, is it such a big deal if we just have to
answer the question “Why?” Why should
he sit/stay/walk on loose leash etc? Because you are his master and he is within
E Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.com
Although lack of biddability is part of what
makes your dog different from “easy”
breeds, there is more to it than that. Your
dog is the dog who asks the questions. He
acts like he is deaf when you call him, but
he could figure out how to escape from a
high security penitentiary if there was
something he wanted on the outside. He’s
probably inquisitive and on fire to explore
the world - always scheming, but never
scheming to figure out what you want.
While he appears to have no interest in
doing anything you want him to do, he is
almost obsessive about performing tasks
of his own choosing, like chasing squirrels,
sniffing, or tearing apart upholstered furniture. Although he is affectionate, his
agenda does not include doing anything to
please you. Far from seeking your approval, at times he seems like he revels in the
chaos that his disruptive behavior creates
– sometimes you have a sneaking suspicion
that he thinks it’s funny when you get angry.
How do you describe a dog like that in one
word or phrase? Independent? Stubborn?
Hard to Train? Challenging? Obsessive?
Stupid? Intelligent? These are all valueladen terms that pass judgment on the dog,
his attributes, and what he should or should
not be able to do. They invite us to draw
negative conclusions about the dog because
of lack of understanding of dogs and how
they think. I don’t believe that using those
kinds of words or phrases to describe your
dog will further your goal of becoming a
happy team with your canine companion.
I frequently use the term “Pigs Fly dog”
as shorthand for a dog with all of the
fabulous (yes, fabulous) qualities I described
above. I like “Pigs Fly” because, although
these dogs sometimes seem impossible to
deal with, in fact they are trainable, even
brilliantly trainable. I also use the term
non-biddable because, although it is a more
limited term, it is an accurate description
of the nature of these dogs and cuts to the
core of why people have trouble training
them. Sometimes I will even use the terms
“difficult to train,” “hard to train,” and the
like, but they should be taken with a grain
of salt. The number one rule for success
is to pick out your dog’s strengths and work
them to your advantage. I think that it is
important you think of your dog in terms
of all of his wonderful attributes, and not
get caught up in any pre-judgement about
what he can or can’t do. Taking away neg-
ative labels and the stigma that goes with
them is the first step in opening your mind
to the potential in your dog.
Any kind of dog may fall under the Pigs
Fly umbrella – purebreds and mixed breeds
alike. When I talk about “Border Collies”
or “Terriers” or any other breed or group
of dog, it is just shorthand for a dog that
shares those characteristics, mixed or purebred, with or without papers. Most of the
Terrier and Hound groups can be classified
as Pigs Fly dogs, but there are plenty of
other breeds/mixes that can be Pigs Fly
dogs, too. Generally, any dog whose original purpose was to perform a task independently, without taking direction from,
or being in cooperation with, a human
teammate is going to be a Pigs Fly kinda
dog. If you are in doubt as to your dog’s
heritage, but you can’t seem to get him to
go along with your plans, he is in the Pigs
Fly club.
I spend a lot of time mentoring new Bull
Terrier owners. Time and time again, I hear
stories about the frustration and discouragement they experience when they go to
training classes with their dog. Seems like
a lot of instructors don’t want to be bothered with dogs that are not “easy” to train.
Some instructors flat out recommend getting another breed. To me, this is just terrible. My dogs had three very different types
of problems, but we worked through them,
and the joy that I get every time we train
or compete is beyond measure. The real
reward for me was achieving things and
having fun with the dogs that I already
loved. I want to make that reward
available to anyone who desires it.
Far from wanting an “easy” dog, I
love my busy terriers whose brains
are turning so fast that you can
hear the whirling and clicking. I
make no apologies for owning a
fabulous little dog that is always on
the go and obsessed with living life
to the hilt, and you should not be
making any apologies, either. There
is a gold mine of possibilities waiting inside of your Pigs Fly kinda
dog and I am going to show you
how to find it.
Books, 2006). It contains brief descriptions
and histories for the breeds of dog recognized by the AKC and one has to be
amazed at how we have bred so many
breeds of dogs for so many specialized
tasks. There are dogs that herd livestock
by driving them from behind, and there
are dogs that tend livestock by heading
them off. There are dogs that will go and
fetch a bird without putting a single mark
on it, and there are dogs that will destroy
any small animal they can find. There are
dogs that will diligently and quietly point
out where birds are hiding, and there are
dogs that will do a crazy dance to draw
curious birds within gun range. There are
dogs that will guard and let no one near
their family (be that family human, dog, or
sheep) and dogs that willingly accept handling from anyone.
Sit down, because this is going to come as
a shock to you. No breed of dog is inherently better at learning than any other breed
or mix of breeds. That’s right – despite all
the flashy behavior that certain breeds offer, despite the fact that some breeds of
dogs are literally waiting around for you to
tell them what to do, they are no quicker
to learn than any other dog. That is not
just my opinion – Scott and Fuller, in their
seminal work “Genetics and the Social
Behavior of the Dog” did extensive experiments with Basenjis, Shetland Sheepdogs, Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, and WireHaired Fox Terriers, and all manner of
crosses of those breeds. The tests consisted of various complicated combinations
of obstacles and mazes that the dogs had

“INTELLIGENCE”
OF BREEDS:
The Learning Curve is
not Straightforward

independence and make it work for you. Rest
assured that your dog does have the potential

– When Pigs Fly!
to negotiate in order to get to a food reward.
Scott and Fuller found that, when it came
to problem solving and learning, no breed
or cross of breed is quicker to learn than
any other is. In their words,
“… (A)ll breeds show about the same
average level of performance in problem
solving, provided they can be adequately
motivated, provided physical differences
and handicaps do not affect the tests, and
provided interfering emotional reactions
such as fear can be eliminated. In short, all
the breeds appear quite similar in pure intelligence.”
Wait, it gets better. I am going to go out on
a limb and guess that people consider a
Basenji to be one of the hardest to train
dogs, and a Sheltie to be one of the easiest.
If you attend obedience or agility trials, you
will see lots and lots of Shelties, and powerful few Basenjis. Some people will attribute this to superior intelligence and
learning ability on the part of the Sheltie.
Here is what Scott and Fuller found:
“In general, the four hunting breeds (beagles, basenjis, terriers, and cockers) performed best on the tests. This is probably
because most of the tests were deliberately designed to test independent capacities motivated by food rewards…By contrast, the Shetland sheep dogs, whose
ancestors have been selected for their ability to perform complex tasks under close
direction from their human masters, performed rather badly. Indeed, in many of
the tests, the shelties gave the subjective
impression of waiting around for someone
to tell them what to do.” Genetics and the
Social Behavior of the Dog, John Paul Scott
and John L. Fuller
The Basenji learned faster than the Sheltie.
The Sheltie was waiting to be told what to
do, and the Basenji was out there figuring
it out on his own. So, if the Basenji is just
as capable, if not more capable, than the
Sheltie of learning, why is it so devilishly
hard to get a Basenji to actually do what
we want them to do? The answer is that
traditional training models were designed
with the biddable dog (like the Sheltie) in
mind. Those methods rely heavily on
“showing” or “telling” the dog what to do.
If you have a dog that is pre-programmed
through hundreds or thousands of years
of breeding to be receptive to being told
what to do, those methods might get you
somewhere. If you have a dog that has only
ever been bred to think for himself, you
will find yourself beating your head against
a wall. The problem is not the dog, but the
method used to teach him. Instead of compelling or showing the dog what you want
him to do, you need to learn a system of
training that will tap into your dog’s ability
to excel at independently motivated problem solving, just like the dogs in Fuller and
Scott’s study.
Please note that the fact that the Sheltie
was reluctant to problem solve does not
mean that the Sheltie was more or less
intelligent than the other dogs. It only
means that the Sheltie had a natural preference to be told what to do in that context.
I think we must be careful not to ascribe
labels like “intelligent” or “unintelligent”
to dogs, because the assessment of a dog’s
intelligence is going to depend on your
preconceived notions of what a dog
“should” be. Stick to thinking about what
you want your dog to do and the best way
to get him to do it. Diagnosing a dog as
“intelligent” or “unintelligent” will not
further your training program in any way
and will only add unnecessary baggage to
the process.
OK, now let’s look at your dogs learning
strengths and challenges. Your dog may or
may not have all of these qualities, but he
probably has most of them:
STRENGTHS
> He is lively and very interested in his
surroundings.
> He is a good independent worker and
problem solver.
> Once he decides he wants something,
he is obsessed about getting it and
capable of overcoming amazing
obstacles to reach his goal.
CHALLENGES
> He does not care much if you approve
or disapprove of what he is doing – he
has no natural desire to please you.
> He has no natural inclination to pay
attention to you
> He is so obsessed with doing his own
thing that it is hard or impossible to
get him to refocus on the thing you
would like him to do.

What you will see is that your dog’s
strengths and obstacles are flip sides of the
same coin:
> He is lively and interested in his surroundings, which means that his whole
world does not hinge upon you and
whether you approve of him or not.
> He is good at solving problems on his
own, therefore he is doesn’t need to pay
attention to you much.
> He is capable of great passion and obsession with reaching a goal, which is a
fabulous thing, so long as your goals and
his goals are the same.
Keep these two-sided traits in mind as you
train your dog. These are the qualities that
made you fall in love with him in the first
place, and we are going to respect and celebrate these qualities every step of the way.
An exasperating trait always has a flip side
– it is the job of a good trainer to find that
flip side and use it to his advantage.
The problem
is not the
dog, but the
method used
to teach him.
