The holiday season calls for special foods that attract all members of the family to the kitchen, even your dog.

As you incorporate seasonal ingredients to your dishes, keep in mind that some of them might be harmful to your family pet.

The American Veterinary Medical Association points out some of the foods that would not be safe for your dog to ingest.

Fatty foods
Poultry bones and skin
Pies and most desserts
Onions, scallions, garlic
Spices
Yeast dough
Raisins and grapes
Anything with butter, sour cream, salt or pepper

There are some foods that would be safe if your dog were to eat.

According to the American Kennel Club, these foods would not be harmful to your dog.

Potatoes (any kind without the added ingredients)
Apples
Turkey meat (no bones or skin)
Green beans
Peas
Pumpkin

As an added precaution, the American Veterinary Medical Association suggests putting the trash where your pets can’t get to it.

Festive plants can also be dangerous to your pets. The ASPCA lists out all plants that are toxic to dogs.

The safest option this season, the AVMA suggests, would be to get a festive treat that is made especially for your pet.

One last video but this answer I was most proud of. I went over my 5 minute answer mark for this one but, it was worth it and the audience was very much involved. I wish I could have recorded it from my side! Andrew tried really hard to hit record in time but missed some of my questions and answers but at least he got most of this one. Andrew said he was actually surprised, of 14 years he had no idea I was good at public speaking lol he was proud! That makes me happy 🥰🥰🥰 enjoy!

This was supposed to be the question and my boring answer. I decided after hearing others answers to go off script and involve others to answer it for me:

How has public perception of disability rights evolved over the past 34 years since the ADA was enacted?

Increased Awareness and Understanding: There is now greater awareness of the role and importance of service dogs in assisting individuals with various disabilities. Educational campaigns and media representation have helped the public understand the specific tasks that service dogs perform, fostering empathy and support.

Recognition of Mental Health: Initially, service dogs were primarily associated with physical disabilities. Over the years, there has been a growing recognition that service dogs can also assist individuals with mental health conditions, such as PTSD and anxiety disorders. This shift has broadened the understanding of what constitutes a disability.

Support for Disability Rights: Public support for disability rights, including the rights of service dog handlers, has increased. Advocacy groups have effectively communicated the need for accessibility and inclusivity, leading to greater societal acceptance of service animals in public spaces.

Combatting Misrepresentation: Increased attention has been directed toward the issue of misrepresenting pets as service animals. The public is becoming more educated about the differences between service dogs, therapy animals, and emotional support animals, leading to a better understanding of the rights and requirements surrounding service dogs.

Overall, while challenges remain, public perception has shifted toward greater acceptance, understanding, and support for the rights of individuals with disabilities who rely on service dogs.

This right here! Long read but worth it.

Most people prefer to kill their dogs the old fashioned way, by forcing them to stay alive until they eventually succumb to diseases of old age. This method is considered outdated, however, because it usually involves some level of force to keep the dog from doing things that might get it killed. Th

This is Duke! The pit mix with no manners, no impulse control, no leash manners and no boundaries. He’s gone through 3-4 hands and now has found a loving home. This was our first session and we introduced leash pressure. For a dog that’s only been on a leash less than a dozen times and has nearly pulled them to the ground, he is starting to respond to leash pressure. After a few redirections he started to get the hint.

Due to a sustained injury, Class will be canceled tomorrow June 25th. Please make sure to be working on the following for next class:

• Implied Stay: Sit (you should be able to have your dog in a sit position be 2 feet away and walk completely around them without the dog getting up )

• Implied Stay: Down (you should be able to have your dog in a down position be 2 feet away and walk completely around them without the dog getting up )

• Leave It (present your dog, a treat and one hand and say leave it. If The Dog tries to get the tree out of your hand, close it quickly and the moment the dog stops trying to get it and looks at you Mark reward with a treat from your other hand. Never give The Dog the reward and the hand that you told it to leave it.)

• Watch Me/Focus: introduce a treat in front of your dogs nose. Bring it to your eyes and say watch me. The moment The Dog gives you eye contact Mark and reward. Work on this until you’re able to at least get five seconds into your eyes before you reward.

• Place Command: have your dog lay down on a mat or dog bed near you and be able to remain on it without repeating yourself for at least five minutes. If you have to lower them onto the mat, that is fine but make sure you drop the treat onto the ground in front of them as you don’t want them to follow your hand back up and a sitting position. This command works well if you have a leash on your dog so that way if the dog gets up to try to walk away, don’t say a word just keep the leash strictly in place and an order for the pressure to be released. The Dog has to lay back down. Do not do this exercise with a prong collar!

• Heel W Treat Lure: say let’s go to your dog while using a treat near their nose to encourage them to walk beside you with eye contact. When you stop walking, have your dog sit if the dog doesn’t automatically sit mark and reward. If you can only take one or two steps before, having your dog, sit to remain eye contact that is fine the goal is for you to be able to at least walk 10 to 15 feet while your dog remains at your side and giving you eye contact before sitting.

I am writing to share an important update about Hastings and the decision regarding his future in our training program.While Hastings is a very energetic, smart, and sweet boy, he has faced challenges that have led us to conclude that he is not an ideal fit for service dog work. Upon joining our program, Hastings exhibited resource guarding issues that did not improve despite extensive training efforts and consultations with a behavioral modification trainer, a veterinarian, and other experienced professionals. After careful consideration and evaluation, it was determined that the best course of action for Hastings would be to return him to his breeder. The breeder has agreed to take Hastings back, where they plan to have him neutered and find him a more suitable home as an only pet. I want to emphasize that Hastings comes from a responsible breeder, who has produced a wonderful litter of puppies that have thrived in other homes. This situation does not reflect poorly on the breeder, nor is it a reflection of my handling or training skills. Hastings is not an aggressive or dangerous dog; he interacts well with adults, children, and other animals. His resource guarding is primarily focused around his food bowl and new toys, which can present challenges in shared environments.This experience has reinforced the understanding that not every dog is suited to be a service dog, and while Hastings has made progress in certain areas, some behaviors simply cannot be overlooked. It was a difficult decision to make, but I firmly believe that returning him to a more appropriate setting will be in the best interest of both Hastings and the future owner.Now, I want to address the raffle we initiated to help raise funds for Hastings and the individual he was originally meant to assist. Given the current circumstances, I would like to gather your input on the best way to proceed. Here are two options for consideration:1.

This year i was a panelist at our local Conference celebrating the 34th Year of the passing of the ADA. I will say that they changed some of the questions that morning on us, I was very nervous & was limited on time to answer for some questions. I will state that the message was heard as I was the only panelist that was asked a direct question from the audience as well as several panelists themselves admitted they had no idea about many of the things I said. You will see this in future videos to be posted. #ADA34#canecorso #canecorsoitaliano #servicedog #servicedogintraining #servicedogsoftikok #canecorsoservicedogintraining #servicedogprospect #servicedogteam #mastiffsoftiktok #dogtraining #puppytraining101 #puppytraining #dogtraining #trainingdog #trainingyourdog #TipsDogTraining #pupcessoriescrafts #publicaccesstesting #publicaccesstraining #servicedogtraining #kodathecorso #kodathecorsotraining #kodathecorsotrainingandgear #trends #trend #haveyoutrainedyourservicedogtoday #trainyourservicedog #dogtrainer #NCDogtrainer #NorthCarolinaDogTrainer #Virtualdogtrainer #Virtualdogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #limacomplianttrainer

Week 3 with Duke! Crate work! Finally got him going in and sitting to wait. Client has been struggling to get him in the crate but, not because Duke didn’t want to. Because they have not been clear enough in their instructions to him on what they wanted. Like most pet handlers, they use commands the dog doesn’t know and repeats them often expecting the wanted outcome. They have been trying very hard though and were starting to now see true progress! #canecorso #canecorsoitaliano #servicedog #servicedogintraining #servicedogsoftikok #canecorsoservicedogintraining #servicedogprospect #servicedogteam #mastiffsoftiktok #dogtraining #puppytraining101 #puppytraining #dogtraining #trainingdog #trainingyourdog #TipsDogTraining #pupcessoriescrafts #publicaccesstesting #publicaccesstraining #servicedogtraining #kodathecorso #kodathecorsotraining #kodathecorsotrainingandgear #trends #trend #haveyoutrainedyourservicedogtoday #trainyourservicedog #dogtrainer #NCDogtrainer #NorthCarolinaDogTrainer #Virtualdogtrainer #Virtualdogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #LIMAcomplianttrainer
