But before you embark on your search, there’s another decision you’ll need to make, and it directly affects where you’ll begin looking for your dog. breed, look for a few champions among nearer relatives, such as the parents and grandparents. In addition, an AKC championship is no guarantee of the health or character of the dog who earns it. I have known dogs with epilepsy, hip dysplasia, and personality defects who earn enough points to get their championships. Unfortunately, some breeders care more about ribbons on a wall and bragging about their “gorgeous” dogs than about health and personality. Don’t fall for it. “AKC-registered” means nothing in terms of quality, health, or temperament of the dog; it simply means that the breeders have submitted the proper paperwork to the American Kennel Club. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that every AKC dog is ready for Westminster. Even casual breeders who have good intentions often simply don’t know enough about the perils of genetics and breeding to produce good puppies, especially these days when so many inherited diseases abound. They often fail to perform the proper genetic screening for the parents, thus exacerbating the problems. Some people are fooled into thinking that “Both parents on premises” is a sign of good breeding. Actually it just means that the breeder had two dogs of opposite sexes. Many good breeders go Understand the breed standard before you make your purchase. across the country or have their females artificially inseminated; however, you should at least be able to see a picture of the sire. Some unscrupulous breeders bill their maladjusted, oversized, inappropriately aggressive dogs as “extra”: more Rottweiler; more Pit Bull; more Chow Chow; more German Shepherd. Most people have all they can handle with the regular specimens of these breeds, let alone anything “extra.” Terms like “Needs adult home” or “Protective” often means the dog is aggressive with kids. It is a bad idea to bring home a dog with behavior problems that you may not be able to handle. Here’s my personal favorite: “Rare color.” If a puppy were “rare” in a desirable way, it wouldn’t be advertised in the paper. There are no rare colors or patterns in the sense that it makes the dog more valuable. There are, however, some “rare” colors that disqualify a dog from the show ring. Parti-colored Poodles, “blue Bassets,” and other anomalies are not desirable, and in some breeds, have genetic problems associated with them. For example, in many breeds, white can signify hearing or eye problems. Check the list of accepted colors for your breed and don’t be led astray. The same is true for eye color. With the exception of the Siberian Husky and a very few others, eyes should be brown. Always check the breed standard before you go looking to find out what is and what is not acceptable. Friends and Neighbors Some people get their pets from a friend, relative, or neighbor. And while this is a good source for an older dog (you probably know everything about the animal already), it may be a poorer place from which to get a puppy, unless that friend, relative, or neighbor is a person who is truly an expert on the breed and proves it by entering competitions like dog shows, field trials, or tracking events. That makes your friend fall into the “breeder class,” which we are going to discuss next. thE rEsPONsIBlE BrEEdEr: a gOOd sOurCE If you are looking for a puppy, the best way to find one is by contacting a reputable breeder. If 20 Complete Guide to doG Breeds you’re not planning on showing, explain that you’re looking for a “pet-quality” puppy. Pet quality doesn’t mean there will be anything wrong with the puppy. It merely means that in the breeder’s opinion, the dog will not achieve a championship in the show ring. Eyes that are too light, wrong color nose, or ears hung too high or low are just a few unimportant factors that may limit a dog’s “show-worthiness” but have no impact on how good a pet the puppy will be. Even stranger, from an outsider’s point of view, is that many breeders want their line to have a certain, instantly recognizable “look.” That look may involve a particular type of head, coat color, movement, or, in performance dogs, certain special abilities. If the puppy does not measure up to the breeder’s particular expectations, he automatically becomes a pet-quality dog and your golden opportunity. Puppies bred by a neighbor or friend may not meet the breed standard.

Loving and loyal, small and compact, the Boston is the perfect size to snuggle under the covers and also accompany his family on their daily excursions.

The best age to begin—especially if you live in a region with a large mosquito population—is between 9 and 12 weeks. Your Boston can safely take a once-a-month pill or chewable tablet, which may be given for the duration of mosquito season or year-round as recommended by the American Heartworm Society (AHS). that a female will develop mammary, uterine, or ovarian cancers. It prevents the inconvenience and risk associated with twice-yearly heat cycles as well. Although neutering is major surgery, it’s considered safe—especially for puppies who have smaller reproductive organs. (Neutered dogs can’t compete in the show ring but may participate in all obedience and performance events.) BREED-SPECIFIC PROBLEMS The Boston Terrier is a hardy and vigorous dog who remains energetic and playful throughout his lifetime. In fact, a life span of 10 to 14 years isn’t uncommon. However, breeders, owners, and veterinarians have identified several problems that are significant to anyone considering adding a Boston to their household. Some are hereditary (passed from one generation to another through the genes) or congenital (present at birth). Others occur as a result of infections, exposure to environmental toxins, injuries, or advancing age. The Boston Terrier Club of America (BTCA) has conducted studies that have uncovered the presence of the conditions listed below. The Boston Terrier Health Survey is available online at the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals’ (OFA) website (www.offa.org). The Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) (www.vmdb.org) and the OFA maintain registries for diseases that affect Bostons.

The surgical procedure in which the sex organs are removed is called castrating in males and spaying in females. Neutering not only prevents the possibility that dogs will sire an unwanted litter or become accidentally pregnant, but it also offers numerous benefits to their physical and emotional well-being. For example, males are less likely to show undesirable traits, such as roaming and marking their territories, following castration. It also lowers the odds of getting testicular cancer, prostate disease, and perianal adenoma—a growth around the anus. Spaying before six months of age nearly eliminates the chances Although neutering is major surgery, it’s considered safe— especially for puppies, who have smaller reproductive organs. HEALTH OF YOUR BOSTON TERRIER Other worms that affect dogs include hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and whipworms. Worms enter the body as a result of consuming raw meat or fish or from contact with contaminated feces or soil. Fleas are the typical intermediate hosts of tapeworms, whereas the larval stage of hookworms can penetrate the skin. Because puppies may be born with worms or contract them while nursing from an infected dam, they should be wormed at two to three weeks of age and again at five to six weeks. Remember to bring a fresh stool sample to the first veterinary visit. To prescribe the best medication, if needed, your veterinarian must examine the specimen under a microscope to identify the kind of worm involved. She can then choose the safest and most effective wormer to use. When your pet is rid of worms, guard against reinfestation by keeping your yard free of feces. Also, avoid places where strange dogs gather. Worms are less of a problem for adult dogs, who seem to acquire a natural immunity that helps them fight off internal parasites. 77 www.tfhpublications.com • [email protected] • 1-800-631-2188 SERIES Animal Planet TM: DOGS 101 ..........................

Even at the correct weight, a Bulldog may appear portly to those unfamiliar with the breed, due to his unusually heavy skeletal structure. His short, thick legs are often described as tree trunks, and his skull looks colossal for a dog of his height. “The Bulldog is a giant breed in a small package,” Johnson explains. At various points of Bulldog history, breeders have experimented with larger or smaller weights than the ideal set out in the US standard 100-plus years ago. Miniature Bulldogs (16 to 30 pounds [7.5 to 13.5 kg]) never caught on, although they played a role in the development of CharaCteristiCs of Your Bulldog W henever a symbol is needed to represent fearlessness, strength, and boundless persistence, the Bulldog makes the perfect stand-in. Sports teams from the University of Georgia to Australia’s National Rugby League have embraced him as a mascot, hoping their players will emulate his virtues. Advertisers use his determined mug and brawny build to represent the rugged durability of their products. The Bulldog is the official mascot of the United States Marine Corps and so linked to England, his country of origin, that his image is often used to sum up the Brits’ indomitable spirit. Yet under this tough exterior lies the proverbial heart of gold. Ask any breeders why they’re so devoted to this breed and they’ll admit that they’re attracted to his unique physique. But what really seals the deal for them is the Bulldog’s personality. “They’re the most loving, endearing, affectionate breed,” says Brenda Newcomb of Newcomb Bulldogs, who’s shared her life with Bulldogs for 50 years. “They read your emotions. All they want is to be with you. Bulldogs are the ultimate companion and fabulous for families with children.” Let’s take a closer look at how the Bulldog has earned such respect from his devoted fans, starting with the breeder’s bible—the official American Kennel Club (AKC) standard. You may not be familiar with the Anatolian Shepherd Dog, an Entlebucher Mountain Dog, or the Norwegian Lundehund—just three of AKC’s 170 official breeds—but everyone knows the Bulldog. There’s no mistaking his massive head or his low-slung body, or the barrel chest and broad shoulders that any bodybuilder would envy. And who can help smiling when looking at his funny face, with its signature wrinkles, jowls, and snub-nosed snout? Topping it off is his unusual rolling gait, which the Bulldog standard itself describes as “peculiar.” (More frequently, it’s compared to a staggering drunken sailor or a ship navigating rough waves at sea.) Everything about this medium-sized tank of a dog should suggest “great stability, vigor, and strength,” states the standard. Throw in an expansive grin and the result is one of the most recognizable breeds on the planet. Claire Johnson, the other half of Newcomb Bulldogs, emphasizes that the Bulldog is as far from the archetypal wolf-type dog breeds as you can get. “The Bulldog is a breed of extremes,” says Johnson. “There’s nothing moderate about him. For breeders, it’s a constant struggle to maintain his special characteristics because nature wants to revert to a generic dog. It’s our responsibility to preserve the distinctive features of this breed, which are based on form following function during his bull-baiting past.” new Title Promotion EAN: Ask your sales representative for details Targeted review Copy Mailing UPC: 19 TFH Publications, Inc.® • 1 TFH Plaza • Neptune City, NJ 07753 5 New Release SERIES Animal Planet TM: DOGS 101 .........................

Puppy Care By Tammy Gagne Becoming a dog owner can be one of the most rewarding decisions you will ever make. Whether you have never owned a pet or you already have one or two dogs at home, the idea of getting a new puppy may be appealing. After all, dogs make life more fun, and there is something truly exceptional about the bond you can form with these wonderful creatures. It is essential, though, that when you decide to add a puppy to your life and routine, you are truly ready for everything it entails. As adorable as they are, puppies need lots of guidance and attention in order to become well-behaved, happy members of the family.

I have found semi-moist food to be an excellent training tool for puppies. If you take your new pet to puppy kindergarten, the instructor may ask you to bring your dog’s dinner with you to class. Pups tend to be most motivated to learn when they have empty stomachs. Many dog trainers also recommend using so-called high-value training treats—food that is especially aromatic and tasty instead of mere kibble—along with his regular fare. Semi-moist food is a much healthier option than some of the most common choices, foods like sliced hot dogs and cubed cheese, and puppy owners find that it motivates their pets just as well. EAN: topic indicates that restricting protein in these animals may actually do more harm than good. The biggest disadvantage to feeding your puppy wet food is the negative effect it will have on his teeth if you don’t brush them daily. Puppies can learn to tolerate brushing impressively well when they are exposed to the task early and often, but some owners find it difficult to stick to a daily schedule. An owner feeding kibble may be able to get away with putting the task off for a while, but those who feed wet food have no such leeway. If you suspect that you won’t be diligent about tooth brushing, kibble may be a better choice for your pup. new Title Promotion Ask your sales representative for details puppy care Targeted review Copy Mailing 46 6 Semi-moist food offers puppies a healthy compromise between kibble and cans. If your pup doesn’t like dry food and you don’t want to feed him wet food, you both may find semi-moist food to be an appealing option. Semi-moist food has come a long way over the years. Instead of buying the artificially colored and flavored faux hamburger patties that once cornered the semi-moist market, dog owners can now choose between several high-quality brands from this evolving medium. Some of the best semi-moist foods are packaged in rolls that look a bit like salamis. Beware of brands that contain high amounts of salt and sugar. These ingredients tend to be more prevalent in semi-moist foods. Sodium is a necessary part of a healthy canine diet, but your pup should be able to fulfill this nominal requirement through the salt content of the other ingredients in his food—such as meat and vegetables. In addition to being unhealthy for your pet, sugary food is bad for your pet’s teeth. Just as you would when choosing a dry or wet dog food formula, read labels when selecting a semi-moist brand. Ideally, salt and HomecooKeD FooD Reading food labels and choosing a food with nutritious ingredients are excellent ways to help ensure that your puppy is eating healthy. Still, many owners question whether any prepackaged food can truly fulfill all a pup’s dietary needs. These owners think the best way to make sure their pets are getting everything they need—and no harmful additives—is by cooking their puppies’ meals personally. Homecooked diets Homecooked diets are becoming more and more popular among pet owners are becoming increasingly popular. who believe that the best way for pups to get vitamins and minerals is directly from foods that are rich in these nutrients. To compensate for nutrients that are lost in the manufacturing process, dog food companies often add supplemental forms of these vitamins and minerals back into the food. Although manufacturers insist that these additives are meant to fortify food, nutritionists assert that many synthetic or imported supplements actually detract from the nutritional qualities of prepackaged food. Although it may seem a bit inconvenient, cooking for a puppy really doesn’t require a lot of extra effort on an owner’s behalf. Your pup needs a higher percentage of protein and fat in his diet than you do in yours, but he can get these nutrients from many of the same foods that you and the rest of your family eat—meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, and whole grains. The greater effort involved in homecooking is the research that must go into your plan.

If you plan to show your pet in conformation, repeating this maneuver can also serve as excellent practice for hand-stacking your pet, the technical term for placing him in the stance he must assume when being judged up close. Of all the commands owners teach their new puppies, stand is probably the most overlooked. It can be difficult to teach some dogs this command, but if you get your Miniature Schnauzer puppy used to standing for grooming now, he will have an easier time integrating this command into his training down the road. Never forget to lavish your puppy with praise and treats for his compliance. Whether you are teaching formal commands or grooming tolerance, positive reinforcement will encourage him to repeat the desired behavior. Also look for foods containing lean meats. You can find healthy formulas made from everything from chicken to venison. On dog food labels, ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight, so the first ingredient is the most prevalent. Many owners insist that grain-free is the way to go; others feel that providing some carbohydrates benefits growing puppies. What matters most is that the food you select contains more meats than grains, or more protein than carbs. Puppies have higher protein needs than adult dogs. For this important reason, you should provide your pet with a food made specifically for puppies until he is fully grown. Some Miniature Schnauzer pups reach their adult height and weight by the age of six months; others may take up to a year to fill out completely. If you are in doubt as to whether your dog is done growing, ask your veterinarian. Types of Foods The number of high-quality dog food brands available today is significantly higher than it was 4 Miniature Schnauzer just a decade ago. Although this fact may make the decision of what to feed your pet more complicated, the variety of foods dog owners have to choose from is hardly a bad thing. If the food your breeder was feeding your puppy fits the criteria for a healthy food—and your Miniature Schnauzer pup is thriving on it—it may be best to stick with it. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” as they say. If, on the other hand, you think another food may be better, you have plenty of healthy choices available to you. Another decision you must make when selecting a food for your new puppy is whether to feed him kibble or canned food. Kibble is by far the more popular choice among dog owners, largely because of its convenience. It is easy to feed, easy to store, and doesn’t put your pet’s teeth on the fast track to developing plaque and tartar. Canned food can be more appealing to a finicky eater, however. Just be sure that you make daily dental care a top priority if going this wet food route. Semimoist food is a third choice, but you must choose carefully. Many semi-moist foods are loaded with sugar and preservatives to tempt a @ PuPPYhOOD picky eater, but they will do little for his wellbeing. Healthier versions of semi-moist puppy foods are available, however; they come in rolls that are packaged similar to salamis. The one you purchase should be a puppy food formula. Feeding Schedule for a Puppy When you brought your Miniature Schnauzer puppy home, you probably placed him on a feeding schedule—and for good reason. Puppies who eat at the same times each day are easier to housetrain than pets that are freefed. Owners of pups who are fed on a schedule are more in tune with their pets’ health. They know when their pups have a loss of appetite, a common sign of a health problem. They also know exactly how much their pets are eating because they typically measure servings hen he was born, your Miniature Schnauzer puppy depended on his mother to feed him and groom him. During this time his breeder made sure that both mother and pups were healthy and had everything else they needed. Now these important tasks fall to you. Eating nutritious food will help your puppy grow into a healthy adult. Staying clean will make him feel good. Brushing him and bathing him regularly will help him get used to being groomed. Grooming your pup will also help you identify certain health problems before they become more serious issues. Your veterinarian will be on the lookout for threats to your new pet’s health too, so taking him to the vet for routine care is essential. instead of topping off a dish each day. Free-fed puppies, meaning pups who are allowed to eat as much as they want whenever they want, are more likely to overeat. This habit leads to obesity over time. Continuing to schedule-feed your puppy even after he has settled into your home is a smart idea for everyone involved for these reasons. An eight-week-old Miniature Schnauzer puppy needs to eat at least three times a day. Most owners opt to align these feedings with their own mealtimes for the sake of simplicity. If your puppy develops a habit of begging at the table, though, start feeding him slightly before the rest of the family eats to discourage this unpleasant behavior. When your puppy is about four months old, you can eliminate his midday meal, but be sure feeding Your Miniature Schnauzer puppY Your Miniature Schnauzer puppy’s nutrition is one of the most important aspects of his care. Few things have a bigger impact on a growing puppy’s development than what and how much he eats every day.

Just a quick stroll through your local pet supply store will yield numerous possibilities. Which brand is best? Should you buy him kibble or canned food? What about grain-free formulas? It would be a lot easier if there were one universal answer for each of these questions, but the truth is that which food is the best one for your dog may be completely different from what’s best for another puppy or even for another Miniature Schnauzer pup. Food Ingredients Begin by ruling out any food that contains by-products or chemical preservatives. Byproducts are the parts of an animal deemed unfit for human consumption. Many pet food manufacturers, surprisingly even some of the ones with better reputations, use these cheap ingredients to keep their protein levels high and their costs low. Chemical preservatives like BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin give food a longer shelf life, but all three have been shown to cause health problems in dogs. Tocopherols are vitamin-based preservatives that pose no such risks for your puppy’s well-being.

Aristocratic rather than comedic, the Mastiff rarely has a silly side. In real life, Mastiffs have a range of temperaments, and depending upon their pedigree and how they are raised, may be goodnatured, mellow, or require more interaction from their owners.

A well-trained and stable Mastiff serves as an excellent ambassador of the breed. Extremely intelligent and intensely emotional, they often cajole their families into doing whatever it is they want. With a soft interior, they often push the limits during training and will remember harsh interactions. Like many breeds, they don’t do well with harsh corrections. With an inexperienced dog owner, the Mastiff will often take advantage of most situations. Companionability Friendly and outgoing, Mastiffs crave attention from their owners. Once they do something that amuses the family, they’ll repeat it. Count on a Mastiff to demand petting. Breeder Pat Flanagan Borracci says, “I have a male who, whenever I sit on the couch, he stands in front of me, climbs up on one foreleg on each side of my body, and pins me down. He proceeds to lick my whole face and nibbles on my chin. If I laugh, this encourages him to keep on going.” The Drool Factor Do you think you can live with drool? This breed’s large mouth and lower lip produce saliva—lots of saliva. While all dogs drool and pant when they’re about to eat or become excited, Mastiffs are droolers extraordinaire. Adding to the moisture quotient is the way they drink water. Some Mastiffs put their faces in the water dish while they drink, then walk away and dribble water as they go. When they shake their heads, they fling drool onto walls and ceiling. Here’s where keeping drool rags and paper towels in every room come in handy If a breeder promises you that her puppies do not drool as much as other Mastiffs, don’t believe her. It’s simply not true. Oh, and expect lots of “zzz” sounds from this breed—Mastiffs snore, too!

Part I Why Dogs Do What They Do Chapter 1 Our Relationship With Dogs Throughout history, humans and dogs have had a complex relation ship. Scientif ically, a relation ship that benefits both species is called mutualism. In the case of dogs and people, we feed them and love them, and in return they provide us with emotional support , hunting and herding assistance, and more. But it’s always been more complic ated than that. At various times in our history, dogs have been our rivals, our enemie s, our victims, our propert y, and our best friends. They capture criminals, locate lost people, and sniff out bombs, tumors, bedbug s, and drugs. They befriend folks in nursing homes, allow blind people to become more independent, and help kids learn to read. There are hundred s of instanc es every year in which a selfless hero dog saves a human life, often at the cost of his own. 12 My Dog is Driving Me Crazy his Bulldog Killys jumped in and knocked it into gear. The truck started moving and ran over his owner, fortunately without producing life-threatening injuries. In 2008, a 70-pound (32-kg) pit bull in Oklahoma managed to drive his owner’s car away from a car wash while the man was diligently scrubbing the hood. In 2007, a black Labrador Retriever named Charlie drove his owner’s car into a river. It’s not just in the United States, either. A New Zealand dog drove the family car through a cafe window. Nor do dogs confine their deadly efforts to autos. In September 2010, a Florida man named James Land was pitched out of his boat. While he clung patiently to a buoy waiting for help, his enterprising fellow passenger, a Jack Russell Terrier named Lucy, drove off with the boat to Pompano Beach and made a safe landing. Land was forced to swim a mile (1.5 km) back to shore. He claimed to be delighted to be reunited with the dog who heartlessly abandoned him to the waves. More disturbingly, according to the National Fire Protection Association, dogs accidentally start about 1,000 house fires every year—knocking over candles and the like. In 2009, a dog named Alfie turned on the griddle attachment to the stove and toasted the entire kitchen. Alfie was sorry afterward. Humans and their dogs enjoy a relationship called “mutualism,” one that benefits both species. N ot that it always works out that way, of course. In reality, you’re more likely to be bitten by a dog than rescued by one. In the United States, every day, about 1,000 people are treated in emergency rooms for dog bites. Most of the victims are children, half of whom are bitten in the face. Dog bite losses exceed $1 billion per year, with over $300 million paid by homeowners’ insurance. And in 2010, there were 34 fatal dog attacks. But people seem to be more afraid of sharks and falling meteors. Resourceful as they are, killer dogs have gone far beyond the oldfashioned bite in their efforts to get rid of us. Dogs take advantage of modern technology. In 2008, a three-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever in Oregon shot his owner in the leg with a shotgun while they were out duck hunting. He also put a few holes in the boat. A Great Dane in Memphis shot his owner in the back by knocking a pistol off a coffee table and causing it to discharge. Dogs were also blamed on two different occasions (one in Florida and one in California) by husbands who declared that the household pet somehow managed to acquire a handgun and kill their wives. Nor do dogs stop at firearms violations. Vehicular attempted homicide is becoming a favored modus operandi. Every once in a while, for example, dogs get behind the wheel of a car and somehow manage to shift from neutral into drive (presumably by accident, but you never know) and terrorize the neighborhood. In 2010, a Florida man was checking under the hood of his 5,000-pound (2,268-kg) Ford F-150 truck, which was parked in neutral with the engine on, when 14 How Smart are Dogs? SOCIabIlITy anD InTellIgenCe So just how smart is the dog? The August 16, 2010, issue of Time magazine listed Stanley Coren, Professor Emeritus social carnivores like dogs as “sort of smart”— of Psychology at the University of smarter than bison but dumber than crows. And British Columbia, who researches both human and animal indeed, it turns out that sociability and intelligence behaviors (and is the author are connected. A study, published in the Proceedings of The Intelligence of Dogs), of the National Academy of Sciences and led by Dr. points to studies that adapt Susanne Shultz of Oxford University, examined the skills tests designed for young evolution of the brain in different groups of mammals. children to dogs. They reveal The results showed that the more social an animal is, that our furry friends are about as smart as a two-year-old child the larger the brain. This is the suggested reason why and can learn about 165 words, dogs outrank cats on nearly every intelligence scale signs, and signals. Smarter dogs devised. But cat owners shouldn’t despair. Studies can learn much more. In fact, also show that cat owners are smarter (or at least some researchers are teaching more educated) than dog owners. Dr. Shultz told the guide dogs to recognize simple Telegraph : “Dogs have always been regarded as the words by sight—actual reading. Others, at least according to their more social animals, while cats like to get on with trainers, can do basic addition their own thing alone. But it appears that interaction and subtraction. “You’re not is good for the brain and extends to other species, like going to want your dog to be ourselves.” your accountant and do your taxes,” Coren said, “but it’s a useful skill.” In addition, dogs who are actively worked—that is, given jobs to do and problems to solve—grow new connections in their brains and systematically become even more intelligent. Dogs are not simply intellectually smart, however. They are also emotional, which requires a separate but equally important kind of intelligence. Scientists now acknowledge what dog lovers have always known: Dogs experience a wide range of “human” feelings: love, jealousy, pride, pique, boredom, and worry. Even their outlook on life seems as variable as their owners’. Michael Mendl, head of the Animal Welfare and Behavior research group at Bristol University’s School of Clinical Veterinary Science, headed a 2010 project in which 24 male and female dogs of different ages were tested for, of all things, optimism. In the first test, each dog was taken to a room where a researcher interacted positively with him for 20 minutes. The next day, the researcher did the same thing but left after only five minutes. Some dogs happily awaited the person’s return, while others barked and 16 10 My Dog Is Driving Me Crazy Scientists have confirmed that dogs experience a wide range of “human” feelings. My Dog Is Driving Me Crazy Our Relationship With Dogs 15 became anxious. Anxious dogs were labeled pessimists. Next, the researchers trained the dogs to understand that a bowl on one side of a room was full of delicious food, while a bowl on the other side was empty. The researchers then placed bowls at ambiguous places and observed how quickly the dogs would go to the bowls. “Dogs who ran fast to these ambiguous locations, as if expecting the positive food reward, were classed as making relatively optimistic decisions,” announced Mendl. “Interestingly, these dogs tended to be the ones who also showed the least anxiety-like behavior when left alone for a short time.” I leave it to the reader to determine the scientific value of these studies. Our emotional Connection Despite our occasional difficulties with the canine species (which, after all, are molehills compared to the mountains of grief our fellow human beings cause us), dogs remain our best friends, playmates, therapists, and buffers against loneliness and sorrow. They are more important to our lives than ever, no longer as employees or servants but as friends and family. And the farther we humans get from nature and the farther dogs get from wolves, the closer we get to each other. A 2010 survey conducted by Kelton Research, a marketing research company, found that 74 percent of the 1,001 dog owners polled believe that their dog’s body language or facial expressions let them know how their pet is feeling. Seventy percent said that they have “shared a look” with their dog on at least one occasion. Nearly half reported that they know what their Despite our occasional difficulties with the canine species, they remain our best friends and playmates.

Understanding the basic concepts of operant conditioning is important to having consistent success training and to relationship building with your parrot. You do not have to understand these terms well enough to have a degree in psychology, but if you comprehend them well enough to apply them they will quickly make more sense to you. Like any skill, some people seem to have a natural rhythm for understanding how to cue, mark and event, reward and shape behavior. Others of us do not, but all of us can practice and get better. So start practicing with positive reinforcement! 2 The Perfectly Trained Parrot Positive Reinforcement object to herd a parrot into the crate. When the parrot goes into the crate, the towel disappears. The parrot will go in to avoid this stimulus, but you’ve probably eroded your relationship. It is also easy to overdo negative reinforcement and cause big problems. Aggression, escape behaviors, a lack of engagement and fear behaviors can be created with the use of negative reinforcement. There are instances when negative reinforcement works and has little repercussion. All the same, an animal will only do the bare minimum necessary to make whatever is being presented that she dislikes go away. In comparison, if you train with positive reinforcement instead, the bird will go in the crate just because she has a history of being rewarded for doing so. And if there is no treat, she may be puzzled, but then offer another behavior, perhaps walk further in or come back out and go back in again trying to elicit the treat. The potential for a reward creates enthusiasm and encourages creativity. Positive reinforcement is the presentation of a stimulus following a behavior that serves to maintain or increase the frequency of the behavior. It is training through rewards. Giving the reward increases the likelihood the subject will perform the desired behavior. Positive reinforcers are usually something the learner finds enjoyable and pleasant; in parrots, a small piece of food is the usual reinforcer. When using positive reinforcement in training the learner tends to exceed the effort necessary to obtain the award. The best way to train a parrot is through positive reinforcement. Certainly, all means of training even punishment can work. They just don’t work as well and are not as fun. Karen Pryor in her landmark book, Don’t Shoot the Dog notes that an interesting thing happened when trainers across continents and training different species began to use positive reinforcement as a sole means of shaping behavior. Everything from bears to horses to fish has demonstrated intelligence, enthusiasm and curiosity in their training sessions when positive reinforcement was used. It turned out dolphins, which had been trained with positive reinforcement for decades weren’t the only playful intelligent animals. All animals exhibit more creativity and interest when they have the opportunity to puzzle out what they are being asked to do and anticipating something good at the finish line. Punishment Negative Reinforcement Punishment is the presentation of an aversive stimulus or removal of a positive reinforcer that serves to reduce the frequency of a behavior. Punishment can be things like flicking a bird’s beak, shaking its cage, dropping it to the floor, or even blowing in its face. It is something that is done to the bird that the bird dislikes and will seek to avoid through other behaviors. Punishment can sometimes stop undesirable behaviors, but often at the cost of a good relationship. Punishment is tricky because in order for it to be understood, it has to happen at the exact moment the undesirable behavior is occurring. Let’s say your parrot is screaming and you walk into the room to go shake her cage. You enter to room so she stops screaming. Now shaking the cage is the result of her sitting quietly. Your bird will be confused and may become distrustful. The other thing that is tricky is that because dogs and people understand when we yell “no” or give them a dirty look, we think that this will work with our birds. However, you have actually taught your dog that “no” means a swat is coming and that a dirty look may mean Negative reinforcement is the removal of stimulus following a behavior that serves to maintain or increase its frequency. It is often called avoidance training. The learner will only work as hard as is necessary to avoid the stimulus, which is generally The unpleasant. Parrots can learn best way to behaviors this way, but it isn’t train a parrot is recommended. An example through positive would be holding up a towel reinforcement. or some other frightening 4 she is about to be put outside. Without pairing this with punishment and timing it correctly it is not going to work. So perhaps the biggest danger of punishment is that if you do not use it precisely, you create fear, aggression and avoidance behavior in your parrot. Why risk it? If you make a mistake using positive reinforcement, your parrot may get a bit frustrated but she is not going to distrust you and fear you. You can’t lose using positive reinforcement. Time Out The only punishment that is important to have in your training arsenal is the removal of positive reinforcement. This is a “time out”, but it isn’t quite the same as the time out we use with our kids. You don’t have to put your parrot back in her cage for 20 minutes. All you have to do is turn your back, walk away or stop scratching her head for a few seconds. When I am training a parrot and it lunges at me, I put my treat hand down and look away. When the bird is no longer exhibiting aggressive behavior, I make eye contact and bring my hand back up. If your time out happens in conjunction with the lunge, it is a clear communication that this behavior removes the opportunity to get a treat. If the parrot wants a treat, over time (sometimes in just one training session) it will stop presenting the unwanted behavior. With the exception of time outs, positive reinforcement can always be used more effectively with a parrot than punishment or negative reinforcement.

So now that you have an overview of these concepts, let’s focus on the positive and talk about rewarding! Using Positive Reinforcers (Rewarding) Reinforcement is the key to making any behavior repeat. No behavior occurs consistently if there is not some form of pleasure or means of avoiding pain in performing If you want your parrot to do something you have it. This concept is the key to to make sure there is a reward for it. understanding how to shape behaviors. If you want to a behavior to repeat, you have to reward it. If you never act excited or pleased when your husband brings you flowers, he will stop bringing you flowers. Certainly he bought them imagining your smile and how happy you would be with him. He was hoping for positive reinforcement. If he never gets it, he will quit trying with this behavior. The same is true of parrot behavior. If your parrot never gets anyone’s attention or any kind of reaction when he calls out “hello” he will stop saying it eventually. What’s the point, if no one in your flock is going to play along? If you want your parrot to do something you have to make sure there is a reward for it. It is important however, to understand that reinforcing a behavior is much more precise than simply rewarding. In order for reinforcement to work it has to be connected to the behavior. Your parrot steps up on your hand, she immediately gets a treat. In the bird’s mind, stepping up equals a reward. The only way you can make an animal understand what it is being rewarded for is to have the reinforcement simultaneously with the behavior.

By Rebecca K. O’Connor A properly trained parrot is a wonderful pet—and a poorly trained parrot can be a feathered monster. This book gives parrot parents the tools to help ensure that their birds become social, tame, and fun companions. Advocating only positive, humane methods, the author guides the reader through the basics of training—including terminology and various techniques—and progresses to more advanced tasks, such as trick training, training a flighted parrot, and training a parrot to talk. Using the methods in this book, readers can prevent the development of most problem behaviors before they start and solve those that do. The author addresses many more topics bird parents will find useful, including behavioral enrichment and training a parrot to tolerate— or even participate in—nail trimming, wing clipping, wearing a harness, and riding in a carrier. The Perfectly Trained Parrot is a comprehensive resource for forging a strong and loving bond with a well-behaved parrot.

The aquarium hobby will provide you and your family with hours of fascination and relaxation. Before you start, you may need to go “back to What is an Aquarium? school” for a moment. This chapter outlines the In its simplest term, an aquarium called is just a history of aquarium keeping,(sometimes as well as thea tank) basic 14 Why Aquariums as a Hobby? Keeping fish in aquariums has proven to be incredibly popular with people for over 150 years. Goldfish were even kept in bowls long before that time in Asia. People keep living fish in their homes for a variety of reasons: as “living decoration,” for their children’s education, for their own amusement, to collect rare specimens, or to raise fish to sell to others. One study at Purdue University showed that elderly people in a nursing home with an aquarium had lower stress and were generally happier than they would otherwise have been. Many dentist and doctor’s offices have aquariums in their waiting rooms. These tanks have been shown to distract and sooth people who might otherwise be stressed about their visit. A Fascination for Fish I don’t really remember my first aquarium. I was told by my parents that a neighbor gave me two goldfish in a bowl when I was three years old. At the time, I was much more interested in dinosaurs than fish. When I later learned what extinct meant, and that I would never, ever see a live dinosaur, I became focused on aquariums instead. My first real aquarium was a 10-gallon metal framed freshwater aquarium that sat on our kitchen counter. My job was to feed the fish and change the water when needed. My father would take me to pet stores on the weekends so that I could pick out new fish for the tank. I received a 15-gallon marine (saltwater) aquarium as a birthday gift when I was in the third grade. I recall that my first animal for that tank was a small brown starfish. From that point on, I was truly hooked and have worked with aquariums all of my life. Aquariums can be a life-long career, a passing fad, or anything in between. Hopefully you’ll find the information in this book helpful in reaching your goal in the fascinating hobby of home aquariums. The aquarium hobby is an entertaining and relaxing pastime for the entire family. Aquariums are fun to watch, just like television. The fish are beautiful, and aquariums can resemble artwork. Tanks can also be interactive; like video games. But aquariums are really different because they contain living animals that are unpredictable. Aquariums teach people the responsibility of caring for a pet. The animals in an aquarium can show you things about their habits that you would otherwise not be able to see unless you went scuba diving underwater. Aquariums are also challenging; you’ll have to design a life support system, your fish may develop a disease, or you may need to figure out how to best feed a particular animal. There are three important virtues found in all successful aquarium hobbyists. The first is patience. Rushing into the purchase of a new fish, or adding fish to an aquarium too soon is a sure road to disaster. Common sense is also important. For instance, if something about a fish doesn’t look right to you, don’t ignore it. Stop and think what could be wrong and how serious the problem might be. Chances are, if there is a serious problem, it can be corrected by prompt action on your part. Finally, perseverance is also essential. Every aquarium hobbyist loses a fish from time to time. You must learn from your mistakes, and with time, your losses will become minimal. The aquarium hobby will then become a more pleasant experience that you can devote as much, or as little time to as you decide. Home aquariums come in all different shapes and sizes; from tiny ½-gallon (2 Liter) bowls to 300-gallon (1135 L) monsters. 25 Aquariums – Past, Present and Future (Oh No, A History Lesson?) Remember, “Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it.” You don’t want to re-learn the solutions to aquarium problems that people before you have already figured out years before. With that in mind, you should take a few minutes to study this history of aquariums and to see where the future may lie. The Past People actually began keeping fish in captivity as a way to keep their food fresh. Long before the days of refrigerators, food would often spoil. Keeping fish alive in ponds and tanks allowed ancient people to have fresh fish to eat throughout the year. It is thought that over 1000 years ago in China, some of these fish that were kept for food had brighter colors than the rest of the fish. The people noticed An Introduction to Aquariums UPC: Your First Aquarium EAN: container that holds water and aquatic chemistry and biology knowledge required to have a clear animals.

In addition, all aquariums need some form of life support system to keep the animals alive, like a spaceship has for astronauts. Home aquariums come in all different shapes and sizes; from tiny ½-gallon (2 Liter) bowls to 300-gallon (1135 L) monsters. Most aquariums have lights to illuminate the fish in the water, heaters with thermostats 24 to keep a stable water temperature, and filters to keep the water quality high so that the fish remain healthy.

New Release Cockatoos By Carol Frischmann Cockatoos are big beautiful birds famous for being the “snuggle-bunnies” of the parrot family—most love to be cuddled by the members of their human flock. Like other parrots, cockatoos are intelligent and social pets. They can be affectionate, loyal companions, but when not properly trained and socialized, they can develop a number of problem behaviors. Written by an expert on bird care, this in-depth guide discusses 11 species of cockatoos that are commonly available; it touches on some of the other species as well. Essential topics like proper socialization, solving problem behaviors, nutrition, cages and other equipment, and health care receive detailed coverage. The author advocates positive training and the formation of a deep parrot-human bond.

The quality of his feathers, his ability to stay healthy, and much about his temperament, including his zest for life, come from being properly nourished. Selecting items to eat and experiencing food’s texture and color consume most of a wild bird’s day. For your pet, please provide choice and variety to add interest as well as nutrition to your pet’s daily activities. It is vital to assure your cockatoo’s nutritional needs are met, as well as your bird’s food-related behavior needs. With more than 10 million companion birds in the United States, avian veterinarians and nutritionists have worked hard to learn more about avian diets and their links to physical and mental health. As a result of these studies, many professional keepers and veterinarians suggest a dietary strategy Husbandry tip: Good breeders will have cockatoo youngsters accustomed to eating pellets. If you acquire an older bird that is not accustomed to eating pellets, the transition from a less appropriate diet to one that includes pellets takes patience and “stealth.” Guidelines for transitioning birds from seed to pellet diets can be found at http://www. harrisonsbirdfoods.com/ourfoods/ index.html. 24 Cockatoos relying on pelleted diets for at least 60% of a bird’s nutrition and fresh foods for the remaining portion. If this sounds at odds with what your grandmother taught you about feeding birds, that’s natural. In past times, pet bird owners purchased a bag of seed, a cuttlebone, and a mineral block. In the last 20 years, researchers have investigated the specific needs of different companion bird species, rather than limiting avian nutrition research to chickens and ducks. University researchers and pet supply manufacturers combed the literature and sponsored research to determine what dietary components keep different companion bird species healthy. Because of this, our understanding of ideal diets for each bird species diet is improving. As a result, we know that seed-based diets limit companion birds to one-fifth of their natural lifespan. Veterinarians say that poor nutrition continues to cause most companion bird health problems. Companions often overfeed their birds; but—face it—many birds prefer eating seed to all other foods. And, companions trying to please their birds give it to them, resulting in overweight and undernourished birds. A diet of preferred foods does not work well as a basis for a healthy body and mind for birds any better than it does for people. Components of good nutrition Cockatoos require a mixture of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, 3 Eating Well and minerals. The trick is to provide the right variety of healthy food that your bird is eager to eat. Most experts agree that the essential nutrition for a companion bird comes from clean, fresh water; a basic diet of high quality pellets; and daily addition of fresh fruits, vegetables, protein, and small amounts of seed. The role of water A bird’s body is approximately 80% water. Water is the lubrication for your cockatoo’s entire system. Without it, he can’t produce energy, move nutrients around his body, or regulate his temperature. Although you may not see your bird drinking, he does so several times each day. Most birds drink in the morning and again at night before sleep. Clean, fresh drinking water should be available to your bird at all times. A bird the size of a cockatiel drinks 4-15 ml water/day (up to 3 teaspoons). Larger birds may drink 30 ml/day. (7 teaspoons) An increase in exercise or room temperature will prompt your cockatoo to drink more water. If you use a water bottle, mark the water level when you change the water each morning. At night, you’ll see how much your bird has drunk during the day. EAN: A bird the size of a cockatiel drinks 4-15 ml water/day (up to 3 teaspoons). Pelleted diets High-quality pellets ensure a proper base of nutrition including all the nutrients he needs, eliminating much of the difficulty in providing a proper diet. The pellet form also answers the problem of your bird picking through the food, selecting only those bits he wants.
