If we could bottle the CA.MO.FO. ®DOG TRAINING CONCEPT and give it to every dog owner in the country, dog shelters nationwide would be half empty!

After an enjoyable and energising winter break we are now looking forward to this year’s work with dogs and people.

Over the past weeks the media was dominated by news, that dog shelters nationwide are once again full of unwanted dogs.

None of these poor animals deserve to be discarded like things, but is also wrong to judge and condemn the owners for giving up their pets. During our many years in business we have learned, that behind each of those dogs is a sad, heartbreaking and tragic story, often involving adults and children that have tried their utmost, but failed, to manage their dog.

Being a good dog owner is not easy, especially nowadays, when a dog has to fit into a very busy and stressful family lifestyle. However, with the correct information, a bit of training and with the understanding of what a dog needs to be happy and contented, there is no reason to give up on a dog.

CA.MO.FO.® is a kind, easy, logical and realistic dog training concept, proven to work with all family dogs and trusted in by dog owners nationwide for the past 16 years . ( Go to comments for reviews and testimonials ).

This year we will be starting our work once again confident in the knowledge, that we will be instrumental in:

• Saving many dogs from a miserable existence.
• Replacing the stress and worry of many dog owners with joy and happiness.
• Giving peace of mind to many dog owners by minding their much loved and treasured dog(s) in our kennels.

That is a great feeling!

Our phone lines will open in February, when we will take bookings for the kennels and for the training classes.
The Boarding Kennels will open on the 1.March ’24, but the opening times for bringing and collecting will change to 10am /6pm on weekdays, 10am/5pm on Sunday/bank holidays.

To maintain our health and ensure our continued high standard of care in the kennels we have to reduce our workload. Therefore we will have to limit the number of dogs we will take this year. ©

We must PREVENT dog attacks!

Now that our working year draws to a close, I think back and summarise, how this year compares to
the past years. As in every year we have met great and even exceptional dog owners. Many came to
us with their new puppies; others with adult dogs that had developed behaviour problems and of
course people that had taken on a rescue dog.

All dogs improved with our CA.MO.FO.® training, and as always, the level of the dogs’ progress has been a direct result of the owners capability to:

• change their own habits and behaviour towards the dog

• understand, recognise, respect and fulfil their dog’s needs

• follow CA.MO.FO.® system consistently

• master and implement CA.MO.FO.® training techniques

CA.MO.FO.® training works successful on prevention, problem solving and management of deep
behaviour issues.

In our kennels we have welcomed many new dogs; each one benefited from the calm environment
and from our CA.MO.FO.® behaviour training . Our regular kennel dogs were, as usual, an absolute
pleasure to have around.

I love every aspect of our work, but the most important work for me is the work with people and
their new puppy. I am a great believer in the saying: prevention is better than cure, and to a great
extent, I have lived my life accordingly.

For 15 years now we have been trying to do our utmost, to help prevent dog attacks on children,
people and animals. Based on our expertise, experience and knowledge we know how to prevent
dog attacks. Unfortunately the powers that be, do not want to listen.

We cannot cure 4 month old baby Mia, who was killed by a dog in 2021, nor can we cure the broken
hearts of her parents!
We cannot cure 9 year old Alejandro’s facial scars and lifelong trauma, after he was attacked and
maimed for life last year by a dog, nor can we cure the daily heart break, his family must feel, when
they remember their perfect and carefree little boy before the attack!
We cannot cure the scars and trauma of the two women that were attacked by a dog in Waterford
just a few days ago, nor can we cure the pain and guilt felt by the countless owners of dogs that have
bitten or killed.
We cannot cure the trauma of victims of a serious dog attack, nor can we cure the burden, the
owner of such a dog has to carry for life.
We cannot cure the huge number of aggressive dogs destroyed every year, nor can we cure the guilt
and pain of their unfortunate owners.
But.....we can prevent!
With CA.MO.FO.® training, education, correct information and wise decision making, we as a nation
can learn and we can do a lot to prevent aggressive behaviour in dogs.

A1-K9 is closing for the annual holidays and maintenance work from 1.11. until 1.3.2024
Our office will re open on the 1. February 2024 for kennel bookings and training queries.
We would like to thank all our customers for this year’s business and we are looking forward to 2024
with new hope and energy.

Many good wishes to all,

Exciting changes ahead at A1-K9

After 15 very successful years of running A1-K9, we are now ready to add another unique and progressive service to our business.

As of 1.3.2024 we will be offering CA.MO.FO.® DAY CARE, suitable for dogs that are familiar with our CA.MO.FO.® system either through our kennels or training classes.

Unlike the traditional day care system, where dogs can “play together” in a very noisy place,
CA.MO.FO.® DAY CARE is individual care for dogs in a calm environment, combined with training and “out time” with us around our beautiful natural property.

We are presently running a Day care pilot project with several dogs. The work is very enjoyable and interesting. Because we have more time to study and observe each dog, we learn! Each dog loves his day with us; there is no boredom, no stress, no mayhem, but structure, training, physical and mental stimulation, good food, love and affection and out time/ playtime in a natural peaceful environment without interference. The dog goes home
calm, relaxed, happy and contented.

To manage the changes in the business effectively, with immediate effect, Martin will be the contact person for training, whilst, I, Brigitte will be dealing with all inquiries/bookings for
the Boarding kennels and Day care.

For any information about our CA.MO.FO.® training or to book in for training, please phone

What exactly is the Job description of a Boarding Kennel Manager?

Now, that the holiday season is coming to an end, we will be hearing the usual horror stories about
the state of some Boarding Kennels and how dogs came back traumatised, smelly, filthy and sick.

It should not happen, but in the continued absence of legislation, anyone can use a building or shed
and open a Kennels. No qualifications, skills, knowledge or experience is required. Of course, such
sub standard places are very cheap and therefore attractive to many dog owners that have to
manage on a tight budget.

I have seen many badly run, dirty, smelly and extremely noisy Boarding Kennels; I personally could
not work in such an environment and I pity the dogs that have to stay there.

In contrast, A1-K9 is a top class Boarding Kennels. It is a peaceful haven, created by us for dogs and
for ourselves, where we have maintained a calm, stress free and therapeutic environment for the
past 15 years. We provide everything that each dog needs to stay healthy, happy and content for a
length of time in a strange place away from his family. For us to be able to do that, we need to learn
as much about every dog as possible. Whilst all dogs have the same basic needs, every dog is
different. It is important to know the likes and dislikes of individual dogs and to be aware of their
habits and sensitivities. That involves observation, record keeping with regular updating as well as
liaising with the dog owner.

To run a small business effectively and profitable, one needs to be multi talented. Office skills, sales
and marketing experience, people skills and communication skills are essential. Equally as important
are self discipline and a sense of responsibility!

I cannot imagine any other place or facility, that offers as unique an opportunity for canine
behaviour studies, than a CA.MO.FO.® Boarding Kennels. Where else is such a calm environment
with countless, constantly changing, dogs?

I have learned so much over the past 15 years. In many ways, I believe I am a dog expert, but you
never stop learning. I know, that if I keep working for another 15 years with dogs, I will be twice the
expert I am nowadays.

I forgot to mention cleaning in the kennels, a job that needs to be done. Years ago, students often
rang for a summer job. I often heard: I shovel s...pooh all day long, once I can be with dogs! I always
answered: there is no pooh to shovel here, cleaning is not a major job in our kennels. And that is a
fact! Not only did we design the building with easy maintenance in mind, but also, the daily routine
ensures that the dogs do their business, when out and about.
Customers always compliment us on our facility and tell us, how happy their dogs are when they
collect them from us. But in reality, only we and all our four legged customers know how fabulous
our Kennels really are.

I strongly believe that the job of a Boarding Kennel Manager should be a recognised Profession and
should be offered at colleges as an attractive career opportunity for young people. I wish, I could
make it happen ! ©

NEUTERING YOUR DOG'S AT 6 MONTHS: THE FACTS
On neutering, you will be hard pressed to find a vet today that would recommend anything but neutering your pet early in their life, normally around six months. The reasons given are always the same, prevent unwanted babies and long term health benefits including a reduction in cancer.

But unlike your appendix for example where it's absence is not noticed in your daily routine, your reproductive (or s*x) organs play a whole host of hormonal roles that stretch far beyond the manufacturing of babies. Like dry food, parasite control, annual boosting and casual steroid shots, these things are not without consequence for the patient and too rarely are these consequences ever discussed with the owner. It is not enough that we are told things are perfectly harmless. We must go into the decision with eyes wide open.

So here's what we know of neutering dogs early in their life. The implications for your pet and society as a whole are then discussed below. It's a whopper of an article, maybe grab a cup of tea first! This would normally be two articles but if I chop it in half people will be left with too many questions. Please leave emotion at the door and your comments below!

WHAT ARE THE GO**DS?
In male mammals the go**ds are the two te**es, and in females the go**ds are the two ovaries.

WHAT DO THE GO**DS DO?
The go**ds are best known for making gametes (single celled germ cells) which is s***m in males and eggs in females. These two cells then get it on inside the female and make a baby. Most of us have that down pat.

But the go**ds also produce a variety of hormones including the female s*x hormones estrogen and progesterone; and the male hormones including testosterone and androsterone. However men necessarily have some of the female hormones, and women some of the male hormones.

WHAT DO THE S*X HORMONES DO?
While s*x hormones in males and females function largely in the whole “s*x” business from conception to baby birth, they also play pivotal roles in the maintenance of body muscle and bone growth.

We see testosterone's dramatic effects in lanky 13 year old males. It controls all the typical puberty bits in males such as the less useful growth of the adams apple, facial and body hair to the very much more useful height and muscle mass of the individual. As adults testosterone continues to function in maintaining muscle strength and mass, and it promotes healthy bone density. It also reduces body fat (one reason why some spayed pets can put on weight).

Estrogen too functions in skeletal growth. At puberty, estrogen promotes skeletal maturation and the gradual, progressive closure of the epiphyseal growth plate (plates of cartilage at the end of bones, which are responsible for laying down new bone). Estrogen also functions in maintaining the mineral acquisition by your bones.

WHAT IS NEUTERING?
Neutering or 'spaying' a female animal involves removing the womb and ovaries (an ovaro-hysterectomy). Males are castrated whereby the testicles are surgically removed. This is done before dogs come into puberty (i.e. start producing s*x hormones for the first time) which is very approximately 6 months in males and around 9 months in females, though breed and body size play large rolls here. General advice from the majority of veterinary circles is that responsible dog owners neuter at 6m months. In other countries it is much earlier. Both operations are carried out under general anesthetic.

BENEFITS OF NEUTERING:
The number one reason for removing the s*x hormones is to prevent unwanted breeding, hence folk at the front line of mopping up all our unwanted fur babies are very big fans (www.dspca.ie/SpayorNeuteringYourPetBenefits). The major health benefit constantly cited is to prevent the possible occurrence of testicular cancer, peri-anal cancers and ovarian cancers in dogs and cats. Other reasons often cited is the spread of inferior genetic traits and to reduce problematic behaviour including male-male aggression around females in heat and the roaming behaviour of both males and females when love is in the air.

THE PROVEN SIDE EFFECTS OF NEUTERING EARLY:
The early neutering of dogs is not without it's side effects or critics, and I'm certainly one of them. But please, before the heavily stressed and over-worked shelter staff post up about overpopulation problems (I spent a couple of years in them too), lets look at this this issue with less emotion and more science.

1. CANCER
If we ignore the fact that gonadal cancers are rare enough in a general population and that dogs recover very well from testicular cancer following diagnosis and castration, by removing the go**ds in developing animals you certainly prevent the possible occurrence of gonadal cancers such as testicular and ovarian cancer. However, ironically, while these possible cancers of your pet will be avoided, numerous studies show that removing the s*x organs early in the developmental period of an animal causes cancer in your pet, just not in their te**es or ovaries.

A study in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, compiled over 13 years found that "… neutering dogs appeared to increase the risk of cardiac tumor in both s*xes”. The results showed that spayed females were five times more likely to to suffer tumours of the heart than intact females
(Ware and Hopper, 1999, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10225598)

In another study spanning 14 years of research it was concluded that sterlisation increased the risk for bone cancer in large breed pure-breds twofold.
(Ru et al. 1998, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9691849).

Upon further investigation using male and female Rottweilers spayed or neutered before one year of age, both s*xes were found to be significantly more likely to develop bone cancer than intact dogs with early sterlisation bestowing a staggering 25% likelihood of bone cancer in your Rottweiler.
(Cooley et al. 2002, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12433723)

It's often stated that neutering a male dog will prevent prostate cancer but some authors refute this on the basis that “ non-testicular androgens exert a significant influence on the canine prostate”. The College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University found "…castration at any age showed no sparing effect on the risk of development of prostate cancer in the dog."
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3506104.

All these considered, it's hard to argue the cancer benefits to neutering early or you end up playing the whole “I see your very slight chance of testicular cancer and raise you a certain increase in bone and heart tumours”.

2. ABNORMAL BONE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Testosterone and estrogen play pivotal roles in the development of your muscles and bones. It stands to reason that if you remove testosterone and estrogen from the vital and dramatic puberty growth phase there will be consequences to that individual's height, muscle mass and bone formation of the individual, compared to an intact animal of the same size and breeding. Studies show this to be absolutely the case.

EARLY NEUTERED ANIMALS ARE TALLER
A study by Stubbs and Bloomberg (1995) set out to answer the following theory: Estrogen tells the growth plates to stop. Thus if you remove the estrogen-producing organs in immature dogs, female and male, you could expect cause growth plates to remain open and the dog to grow longer bones. They divided dogs and cats into three groups. Group one was neutered at 7 wks, group two at 7 months, and group three remained unneutered. They found that “early spay/neuter may result in a slight increase in adult height”. The earlier the spay the taller the dog. Other authors found similar findings (Salmeri et al 1991).
Preston Stubbs, DVM & Mark Bloomberg, DVM Seminars in Vet Med & Surgery, Small Animal, Volume 10, No 1 Feb 1995 Dept of Small Animal Clin Sci, Univ of Florida
Katherine Salmeri, DVM, Mark Bllomber, DVM, Sherry Scuggs, BS, Victor Shille DVM, Journal of American Vet Med Association, Volume 198, No 7 1991

INCREASED CRUCIATE RUPTURE
Thus with no estrogen to shut it down, these animals can continue to grow and wind up with abnormal growth patterns and bone structure. This results in irregular body proportions.

Grumbach (2000) quotes Chris Zink, DVM to explain the problem with neutering males and females early and cruciate rupture - "For example, if the femur has achieved its genetically determined normal length at 8 months when a dog gets spayed or neutered, but the tibia, which normally stops growing at 12 to 14 months of age continues to grow, then an abnormal angle may develop at the stifle. In addition, with the extra growth, the lower leg below the stifle likely becomes heavier (because it is longer), and may cause increased stresses on the cranial cruciate ligament."
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11202221
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15577502

This is verified with a study by Slauterbeck et al. (2004) who found that spayed and neutered dogs had a significantly higher incidence of ACL rupture than their intact counterparts, regardless of breed or size.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15577502

INCREASED RISK OF HIP DYSPLASIA
A study by the Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine and published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association showed that both male and female dogs sterilized at an early age were more prone to hip dysplasia.
http://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/abs/10.2460/javma.2004.224.380

3. INCREASED RISK OF HYPOTHYROIDISM
When one organ is removed, others will suffer and spayed and neutered Golden Retrievers are proven to be more likely to develop hypothyroidism.
Panciera DL. Hypothyroidism in dogs: 66 cases (1987-1992). J Am Vet Med Assoc. 1994 Mar 1;204(5):761-7
Glickman L, N Glickman, and R Thorpe. The Golden Retriever Club of America National Health Survey, 1998-1999. Available online ahttp://www.grca.org/pdf/health/healthsurvey.pdf

4. INCREASED RISH OF INCONTINENCE
Early neutering increases the risk of urinary incontinence by 4-20%
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11787155

5. INCREASED RISK OF DISEASE
Very early neutering increases the risk of disease in dogs. A study of shelter dogs conducted by the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M University concluded that infectious diseases were more common in dogs that were sterilized at less than 24 weeks of age.
www.avmajournals.avma.org/doi/abs/10.2460/javma.2001.218.217

6. WOOLY COAT
I can't find a study to verify this, I can only testify to what groomers are repeatedly telling us, that des*xed dogs have very wooly coats, commonly called “spay coat”. It seems to be an overproduction of the undercoat but until more is knows, this is annecdotal.

NEUTERING, IN CONCLUSION...
Dr. Karen Becker is now a famous veterinary advocate for more thought to be brought back in to the dog world. Her youtube video last year on neutering and article on same subject gave me the bones of this article. The video received an enormous amount of support but also scathing criticism. Since then Dr. Becker has released another video on the subject explaining her thoughts on the whole affair. She breaks down in the middle of it when she thinks about the number of animals she has harmed with her previous advice. Worth a watch.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=enPCZA1WFKY

To quote Dr. Becker:

“As responsible members of society, we owe it to our communities to proactively protect our intact pets from unplanned breeding at all costs. We must hold ourselves to the highest standard of reproductive control over the intact animals we are responsible for.

Clearly, there are health benefits to be derived from waiting until after puberty to spay or neuter your dog. However, there are also significant risks associated with owning an intact, maturing pet.

How seriously you take your responsibility as a pet owner is the biggest determining factor in how risky it is to leave your dog intact until he or she matures. If you are responsible enough to absolutely guarantee your unsterilized pet will not have the opportunity to mate, I would encourage you to wait until your pet is past puberty to spay or neuter.

If you are unable to absolutely guarantee you can prevent your dog from mating and adding to the shameful, tragic problem of pet overpopulation, then I strongly encourage you to get your animal sterilized as soon as it's safe to do so”.

It is interesting to note that some vet organisations agree with Dr. Becker. While the American Veterinary Association pushes for early neutering there are some European Veterinary Associations that defend the view that “when reproduction is not an issue, then neutering, particularly of dogs, should be decided on a case-by-case basis...”
www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bloomsbury/azoos/2012/00000025/A00103s1/art00010

In my opinion it is quite clear that neutering your dog early, before he / she is a fully formed, mature adult, comes with very significant health concerns. The best advice from a health perspective would be to put off neutering your pet until after puberty, which is at least a year, though some large breeds are still maturing at two years of age. And for all these major health benefits in your dog, all it takes is a little responsiblr pet ownership during the 3 – 6 month danger time. Sadly however, looking at just Ireland's dogs, responsibility and dog ownership do not go hand in hand.

If aliens were to arrive in Ireland to study the success of sterlising dogs at 6 months and population control they would be forced to conclude that sterilisation does not work. We are the puppy farming capital of Europe. We have over 400 groups (shelters, pounds and charities) mopping up a portion of the strays. We are a nation of 4 million which killed 25% more more pet dogs than the entire UK (63mil) in 2010. We have a totally unregulated greyhound industry that slaughter many thousands more dogs each year with tax payers money. And they keep coming.

Clearly the issue of population control goes far beyond neutering or not. We have a desperately underfunded animal welfare system and our legislation protecting animal rights and welfare via heavy penalty fines and jail time is impressive for it's almost total absence. On the other hand Sweden has 13million people and only one pound. Lose your dog once there it's a day's wages. Lose him twice it's a week's wages. Lose him three time's and he's gone. This is all backed up with very tough welfare laws. In Switzerland you have to take a theory and practical test before dog ownership is permitted. Can you believe that?! Incredible. Over in these forward thinking countries dog ownership is not so much a right as a privilege.

My personal thoughts on neutering in dogs in Ireland is this: If it was obligatory for dogs to be chipped and tagged at birth; if they weren't bought and sold from car boots; if they cost us a small fortune initially (where every penny of that tax went back into their welfare); if the penalty for allowing your dog to roam was proper and severe; if it cost us €1,000 to relinquish a puppy to a shelter and €100 a week until they found her a home, then just maybe we could inject a little responsibility back into dog ownership in Ireland and talk seriously about neutering. However, in my opinion, we are so far away from responsible pet ownership in this country that sadly postponing the early neutering of our pets to the great benefit of their health is simply not information that I think the Irish public can be trusted to hear, yet.

If you have Swedish friends though, please share this post with them.

A GOOD Boarding Kennels is a great place for a dog and peace of mind for the dog owner!

Now, that our Boarding Kennels are open again for this year’s season, we are delighted to welcome back our regular dogs and of course also the ‘first timers’.

Our ‘regulars’ come running into our yard because they love it here. If they could tell us, what they love about staying at A1-K9, I am certain, they would say the following:

• The consistent daily routine and a good night sleep

• The peaceful and quiet environment, both inside the kennels and the
surrounding property and area

• The individual attention from us 4 times a day ( we do not mix dogs)

• The interesting daily training exercises, that stimulate a dog’s mind

• The structured playing

• The daily walks through our gardens and woodlands without any interference from people/cars/dog/other animals

• The premium quality food with a regular feeding routine

• The clean and hygienic kennel environment

• The calm approach at all times from us and even from visitors


• The consistent mindfulness to ensure each dog’s well being, including regular toileting, medication, special needs

• The consistent praise, when it is deserved


• The daily cuddles, the fun and genuine love and affection

• The stress free time out


For us, it is easy to keep our regular dogs happy, but of course our system requires a lot of input, work and effort. It is well worth it though, because we are greatly appreciated by so many 4 legged and 2 legged customers.

Every one of our regular dogs was once a ‘first timer’ and like every new dog, each was here for an initial assessment. Some settled during the trial stay, others suffered from Separation Anxiety or other issues that prevented them from settling. With our CA.MO.FO.® Training course, most dog owners were able to eliminate their dog’s behaviour problems and with that, their dog has become one of our much loved ‘regulars’. ©
