UPDATE BENJI HAS BEEN ADOPTED.

šŸ¾ Adopt Benji: Your New Shiba Inu Best Friend! šŸ¾

Meet Benji, a charming 5-year-old Shiba Inu looking for his forever home! This lovable boy is neutered, up-to-date on his shots, and ready to bring joy to your life. While Benji is friendly with other dogs, he can be a bit shy around new people, so heā€™ll need a patient and understanding owner who can help him come out of his shell.

Temperament Traits:

Benji is always on the lookout and makes a fantastic watchdog, keeping you informed of any happenings around the house.

Intelligent:
This clever pup learns quickly and is eager to pick up new obedience skillsā€”just be prepared to use your best training techniques, as he can be a bit stubborn!

Independent:
With a strong-willed personality, Benji has a mind of his own. He'll appreciate a patient owner who understands his unique Shiba nature.

Loyal:
Once Benji forms a bond with you, he'll be your loyal companion through thick and thin.

Playful:
Benji loves to engage in games and activities that stimulate his mind and senses, so prepare for some fun times together!

Vocal:
Like many Shibas, he may express himself vocally, especially when heā€™s feeling stressed or frustrated. His ā€œShiba screamā€ is quite famous!

Exercise and Mental Stimulation:

To keep Benji happy and healthy, heā€™ll need at least an hour of exercise each day. Whether itā€™s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or some time spent with puzzle toys, he thrives on both physical and mental engagement.

Training and Socialization:

Benji will benefit from continued training and socialization, so experience with Shiba Inus or strong-willed breeds is a big plus. Heā€™ll appreciate a patient, consistent approach as he learns to trust you and build confidence in new situations.

If you think you can provide the loving, understanding home that Benji deserves, donā€™t hesitate to reach out! This sweet boy is ready to find his forever family. ā¤ļø

Here are five structured training tips to help stop your dog from barking:

1. Identify the Cause of Barking
- Observation: Keep a diary of when and where your dog barks. Note triggers such as strangers, other dogs, or boredom.
- Response: Understanding the cause will help tailor your training approach.

2. Teach the "Quiet" Command
- Step 1:Wait for your dog to bark and then say "Quiet" in a calm but firm voice.
- Step 2: If your dog stops barking, even for a moment, reward them with a treat and praise.
- Step 3:Repeat this process consistently until your dog associates the command with stopping barking.

3. Desensitization to Triggers
- Step 1: Gradually expose your dog to the trigger at a distance where they donā€™t bark.
- Step 2:Reward calm behavior with treats and praise.
- Step 3:Gradually decrease the distance to the trigger while continuing to reward calmness.

4.Provide Sufficient Exercise and Mental Stimulation
- Routine: Establish a daily routine that includes walks, playtime, and training sessions. Aim for at least 30-60 minutes of physical activity.
- Mental Games: Use puzzle toys, scent games, or obedience training to keep your dog mentally engaged, reducing boredom-related barking.

5. Use Positive Reinforcement for Calm Behavior
-Reward System: Praise and reward your dog when they are calm and quiet, especially in situations where they would typically bark.
- Consistency:Be consistent with your rewards and ensure all family members follow the same training methods to reinforce the desired behavior.

Additional Tips
- Patience and Consistency: Training takes time, so be patient and consistent with your methods.
- Professional Help: If barking persists, consider consulting a professional dog trainer or behaviorist for personalized advice.

By following these structured tips, you can effectively reduce your dogā€™s barking and promote a calmer environment.

UPDATE SASHA HAS BEEN ADOPTED, AND SHES DOING GREAT

Subject: Urgent Update on Recent Rescue Puppy

Sasha is up for adoption she just needs to stay in my care for a few days to give the meds time to get started. If you are interested in adopting her please contact me. 647-878-7002

Sasha is 5 to 6 months old has had first check up, first shots and deworming. She is also on medication for the bites all over her legs neck and head. Some of these bite mark are really old others are brand new. This make me sick to my stomach. Sasha is a trooper tho she's jumping and play like it ant no big thing.

Dear Rescue Community,

I wanted to share a concerning update regarding the last puppy i took in. She arrived yesterday in extremely poor condition, showing signs of severe neglect and trauma, as it appears she's been bitten by other dogs throughout her life. This situation is truly heartbreaking.

She has already been taken to the vet, where she received a thorough examination. I'm relieved to report that she has been given a clean bill of health and is currently on antibiotics to aid her recovery. However, I will be investigating her background to uncover what led to her distressing condition.

Your support and attention to this matter are crucial as i work to ensure she receives the care and love she deserves. Thank you for standing with us in our mission to help animals in need.

# # # Public Service Announcement: Understanding Dog Training Credentials

Attention Dog Lovers and Aspiring Trainers!

In the world of dog training, itā€™s essential to understand the difference between certificates, licenses, and the education you need to succeed. While dog training courses can provide valuable knowledge and skills, itā€™s important to note that obtaining certificates and licenses is **not legislatively mandated** in the dog training industry. This means that while these programs can enhance your understanding, they donā€™t guarantee a formal recognition in your country Province or City, there's no dog registry that you can look up dog training licenses they're only registered with the facility that offered the course or certification.

Consider this: a backyard mechanic can teach you a lot about cars, but they canā€™t provide you with a recognized license or certification. On the other hand, a licensed mechanic not only has the knowledge but also the authority to offer you an apprenticeship and help you gain recognized credentials. In dog training, the same principle applies. An unlicensed dog trainer cannot issue you a valid license or certificate, particularly if these arenā€™t recognized in your city, province, or country.

While there are certain certifications in specific areas, like CPR or dietitian qualifications, the dog training industry lacks the same level of regulation. Therefore, we urge you to **do your research** when choosing a training program. Seek out reputable courses that provide real-world experience alongside theoretical knowledge. A well-rounded education in a hands-on environment is crucial to understanding how to apply your training effectively.

Remember, the most successful dog trainers combine formal education with practical experience. Choose wisely, and ensure that your training credentials are recognized and respected in your community.

Thank you for being a responsible dog owner and trainer!

**Public Announcement.

Attention all concerned parties: It is with great enthusiasm that I announce the initiation of legal proceedings against a certain individual who has taken it upon themselves to fabricate a series of unflattering narratives, including but not limited to slander, defamation of character, harassment, and the audacious hindering of income. The requisite legal documents have been dutifully prepared and submitted, and I am positively thrilled at the prospect of bringing this matter before a court of law.

Elements of slander

False statement: The statement must be untrue
Communication: The statement must be communicated to at least one other person, either intentionally or negligently
Harm: The statement must cause harm to the person's reputation, financial hardship, or loss of opportunities

Slander vs. libel
Slander: A spoken statement
Libel: A written statement

Slander as a lawsuit
The victim of slander can pursue legal action against the person who made the statement
The victim must prove the statement was false and that the person who made it knew it was false

Defenses to slander
The person who made the statement has to show that this statement was true. I hope you can provide proof Stacy.

Hey Stacy. I have no violations against me not even a warning and I have never euthanized a dog for Behavior. How valuable is that in this industry. Think.

Oh, absolutely! I mean, who doesnā€™t love a good rumor, right? Youā€™ve told everyone that Iā€™m some sort of animal-abusing villain with a track record of neglect and violations. I just canā€™t wait for you to prove those wild claims. I mean, clearly, the investigations by Paws must have found something, right? Maybe a secret lair where I ā€œeuthanizeā€ dogs? Sounds dramatic! So, go ahead, show me the evidence. This is going to be great!

I extend my most heartfelt invitation to all who have so eagerly supported these baseless claims to take a moment and reconsider your involvement. When the evidence is unveiled, it will undoubtedly lay bare the truth behind these fanciful tales. Those of you who have chosen to align yourselves with this individual will indeed find yourselves in need of a very compelling justification.

**Call for Support Against Stacy**

Dear Esteemed Friends,

I am reaching out to solicit your invaluable support in my noble quest against Stacy. Many of you have so graciously shared your unfortunate experiences regarding her less-than-stellar impact on your lives, and I would be absolutely delighted to hear more of your stories. It is crucial to demonstrate that her behavior is not merely a singular anomaly, as I have already garnered a handful of courageous individuals willing to step forward and given me their legal statement.

I am fully aware that some of you may feel a tad reluctant due to prior instances of bullying and harassment from her, but fear not! Together, we can put an end to this saga once and for all. If your interactions with Stacy have left a bitter taste in your mouth, I implore you to reach out to me. Your testimonies could serve as a significant catalyst in this case.

Furthermore, I am more than willing to cover your legal fees should you choose to participate. Together, we shall stand against this behavior and pursue justiceā€”because, after all, we must work together to save these innocent doggies rather than let them suffer due to personal animosities.

**Legal Statement**

Let me take a moment to clarify: I would not be embarking on this legal journey if I did not possess the necessary evidence to substantiate my claims against the individual in question. Proceeding with a lawsuit devoid of sufficient evidence would not only be utterly foolish but would also place an unnecessary financial strain on my resourcesā€”especially considering any potential counterclaims she might conjure up against me. Rest assured, this course of action is not only informed but also firmly supported by factual evidence that I am confident will bolster my case.

For the sake of complete transparency, I encourage anyone with questions or a thirst for information to reach out. I am here to provide you with all the details you could possibly desire, and I promise to be an open book. 100%

To my cherished followers, friends, supporters, and family, I extend my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support.

To the ppl that beleave her lies I would encourage you to engage her directly and request that she shares her version of events, with proof. It is after all, crucial to hear the whole truth, especially since I have noted several inconsistencies in her past narratives. Thank you for your understanding and for being part of this riveting journey.

**FYI:** A friendly reminder to all who support her and have made comments regarding involvement in the forthcoming revelations: I will be reviewing phone records and messages from all communication devices. Do prepare yourselves for any costs associated with providing that information. Any concerns regarding this can be addressed with the individual who has so generously misled you once all is said and done.

As a specialist in canine rehabilitation, I focus on addressing aggression, behavioral issues, and histories of biting in dogs. My expertise in behavior modification allows me to implement evidence-based strategies tailored to meet the unique needs of each canine. I am committed to enhancing the well-being of all dogs through a comprehensive approach that includes private training sessions, board-and-train programs, and the acceptance of surrendered dogs.

My methodology is grounded in principles of animal behavior science and positive reinforcement techniques, which aim to modify maladaptive behaviors while fostering a trusting relationship between the dog and handler. By assessing each dog's individual history and temperament, I develop customized intervention plans that prioritize safety and long-term behavioral improvement.

The private training sessions provide a focused environment where owners can learn effective handling techniques and gain insights into their dogā€™s behavior. Through the board-and-train program, dogs receive intensive, hands-on training in a structured setting, allowing for immersive behavioral modification. Additionally, by accepting surrendered dogs, I aim to provide second chances for those in need, ensuring they receive the support necessary for successful rehabilitation and eventual adoption.

Overall, my commitment to evidence-based practices and individualized training programs reflects a comprehensive approach to canine behavior modification, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of the human-animal bond and the overall welfare of dogs with challenging behaviors

My training in the field of animal behavior, specifically as a behavior modification specialist and canine psychologist, was predicated on extensive research and a comprehensive examination of relevant literature and online curricula. This foundational knowledge was subsequently applied in practical settings, allowing me to gain invaluable experience with canine behavioral dynamics. Now, over 15 years later, I continue to expand my understanding of dog behavior, reflecting a commitment to lifelong learning in this specialized domain.

P,S,A. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH

When navigating the world of dog training and rescue, it's essential to recognize that this field is largely unregulated. Unlike many professions, there are no official certifications that guarantee expertise. Instead, the true measure of a trainer or rescue's capability lies in their depth of knowledge and practical experience with dogs.

I urge you to conduct thorough research on trainers and rescues alike. Always seek evidence to support any claims made to you. It's crucial to cultivate your own informed perspective rather than relying solely on the opinions of others. Your understanding should be shaped by personal experience and thoughtful inquiryā€”this is the best way to ensure you are making well-informed decisions. Embrace the journey of discovery, and let your own insights guide you!

Hey do you all know how dogs noses work ?

Understanding Canine Olfactory Skills

Dogs possess remarkable olfactory abilities that allow them to interpret and interact with their environment in ways that humans cannot. Here are some key points highlighting the sophistication of a dog's sense of smell:

1. **Tracking Odor Strength and Age**:
- Dogs can determine the age of an odor based on its intensity. Generally, newer odors are more potent, while older odors tend to dissipate and become weaker. This ability allows dogs to track scents over time, giving them insight into the presence and activities of other animals or humans.

2. **Olfactory Memory**:
- Dogs utilize their olfactory memory to form associations based on scents. For instance, a dog may learn to recognize the fading scent of its owner as a signal that they are about to return home. This ability to remember and associate scents with specific events enhances their understanding of their environment.

3. **Sensing Air Currents**:
- Throughout the day, air currents change, affecting how odors are dispersed in the environment. Dogs are adept at sensing these shifts, which helps them gauge the passage of time and the movement of scents. This skill enables them to track scents more effectively as they adapt to changing conditions.

4. **Anticipating Future Events**:
- Dogs can detect scents carried by the breeze, allowing them to anticipate what is approaching. This ability to "smell the future" is crucial for their survival instincts, helping them identify potential threats or the presence of other animals.

5. **Identifying Visitors**:
- By analyzing the unique scent profiles left behind by individuals, dogs can discern who has visited a location. This skill not only helps them recognize familiar people but also provides insights into the activities that have taken place in their surroundings.

In summary, a dog's sense of smell is not only powerful but also intricately linked to their perception of time, memory, and social interactions. Their olfactory skills enable them to navigate their world in ways that are fundamental to their behavior and instincts.

UPDATE BOSCO HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM ME. I NEED HER INFORMATION FOR THE POLICE SHE KEEPS HANGING UP ON THEM.

*Meet Bosco: A Heartbreaking Tale of Hope**

In a world that can be so unforgiving, Boscoā€™s story is one that tugs at the heartstrings. This gentle, lovable 3-year-old bulldog once knew the warmth of a home and the kindness of a family. Sadly, that all changed when his owner faced a difficult turn in lifeā€”a move she couldnā€™t bring him along for.

About a 3 days ago, a young woman came to my business, her eyes filled with uncertainty. She told me how she rescued Bosco a year and a half ago when he was just a puppy, and now, because of circumstances beyond her control, she was considering surrendering him. She promised she would fill out the necessary paperwork, but technology seemed to fail her as she struggled to print or complete it on her own. She asked if I could hold Bosco for a few days while she decided what to do.

Days have passed, and now that same young woman has vanished. Her phone number no longer works, and my messages go unanswered. I canā€™t help but feel a deep sadness for Bosco, who has become a victim of this uncertainty.

Bosco is a sweet soul, shy at first but bursting with love and loyalty once he feels safe. Heā€™s great with kids and other dogs, and heā€™s well-trainedā€”no messes or destructive behavior here. He simply craves companionship, a warm touch, and a home to call his own.

Despite the heartbreak of abandonment, Bosco remains hopeful. He deserves a family that will cherish him, a place where he can give and receive love without fear of being left behind again.

If you can offer this sweet boy the forever home he longs for, please reach out. Letā€™s make sure Bosco finds the love and security he so desperately needs.

šŸ¾ **Meet Zara: Your Future Furry Friend!** šŸ¾

Introducing Zara, a sweet 5-year-old female Pocket Bully who is ready to find her forever home! After being used in a breeding situation, Zara was surrendered and is now looking for a loving family to call her own.

āœØ **About Zara:**
- **Temperament:** Zara is a total cuddle bug! She adores all people and is especially great with kids. If youā€™re looking for a snuggly companion, sheā€™s your girl!

- **Training:** Zara is kennel trained and house trained, making her a perfect addition to any home.

- **Socialization:** While she loves to play, sheā€™s selective with her dog friends and would do best in a home with no other dogs or a compatible canine companion. Not good with cats, so no feline friends, please!

because she's been in the breeding situation the only interaction she's ever had with other dogs is in the time of mating season so she's not socialized with her dogs and in fact after that she's pregnant so now she's guarding and protective of the puppies so not going to let anyone else around the puppies when it comes to dogs as well so she's needs a lot of time and a lot of work to be socialized with another dog prefer just to leave her that way and not worry about her being friends with other dogs.

- **Health:** Zara is up to date with her vaccinations and has just been spayed, so sheā€™s ready for her new adventure!

If youā€™re looking for a loyal friend who will shower you with love, Zara is the perfect match. Letā€™s give this sweet girl the forever home she deserves! šŸ”ā¤ļø
