EJO Dog Training Training and grooming for dogs all ages, sizes and temperaments. Grabbing hold of a rope to a leash and being able to train a dog is truly an art.

But to pass that painted portrait onto another is a completely different skill. To hand over confidence and assuredly vivid talent to a person through example and unminced words, is a smoke that clings onto those who engage in the conditioning of their dogs. Without fluffing up, complicating and buttering basic principles of dogs, it would almost seem like common sense to train them, only it isn’t

. With thousands of dog trainers out there and even more ways of training, its easy to get lost in the jungles of he said/she said. For Erik, “its about creating dogs that last.” He says “No dog is bad, its just learned. At the end of the day I merely want to be a great dog trainer. Everybody has their ways, mine are just to the point.”

Training a dog is life changing, for everybody. For the people the dog meets or the situations that may arise. The qualities you want or don’t want in this animal to accompany you through the journey, will dictate your experiences and memories. It is work—and some of the best work you will ever do.

In Los Angeles in the 1840s, dogs outnumbered people two to one. The large numbers of strays and feral dogs caused ‘civilized’ problems. Dogs were regularly poisoned or trapped and killed. Nevertheless, if a dog turned out to be a good ratter or distinguished itself in some other way, it was spared and survived.

Bummer and Lazarus were two stray dogs that roamed the streets of San Francisco, California in the early 1860s. Recognized for their unique bond and their rat-killing ability, they became a weekly fixture of city newspapers, were exempted from local ordinances, and immortalized in cartoons.

These two dogs rescued each other from fights, killed 85 rats in under 20 minutes, befriended horses outside bars and were fought over by newspaper publishers. The exploits of the dogs were recorded in detail in the Californian, Daily Alta California, Daily Morning Call, and Daily Evening Bulletin,the editors vying with each other in their attempts to endow the pair’s adventures with thrills and parallels to the human condition. Bummer was portrayed as the gentleman down on his luck, yet still faithful and conscientious, while Lazarus, the mongrel, was cast in the role of the sly and self-serving fair-weather friend.

Later in their lives Lazarus was poisoned and Bummer was kicked to death by a drunk. Mark Twain produced a eulogy for him in the Virginia City Enterprise which was reprinted in the Californian on 11 November 1865.

Environment is the first influence of a dogs life. Where you live is a stronger predictor of their life course than anything you can do inside the home. Short of neglect or malnutrition, the rest is just trivial variation. Why?

Because outside influences are more powerful in shaping knowledge and behavior than in-home influences are. Those outside influences are other dogs, resources, neighborhoods, environmental conditions, and the people you make available to them. That is how you shape the life course of a dog.

The second biggest influence is genetics, and you don’t get to determine that. Now do not mistake what I am saying— the knowledge your dog possesses, what they know, is clearly a function of exposure in the environment—but their traits, their abilities, their makeup and personality is not.

Dire wolf skulls numbered at 400 fill the shelves of The La Brea Tar Pits Museum, a paleontological research site in urban Los Angeles. Preserved genes have shown that dire wolves and their ancestors were top dogs in the Americas for more than five million years. They were 25% larger than modern day Grey Wolves and their family life and hunting was very similar.

The bulk of their prehistoric diet consisted of giant ground sloths, bison and camels. With remains from more than 3,600 individuals discovered, dire wolves are the most found mammal at La Brea Tar Pits. When you first walk up you're greeted by kind of what you might expect, a large pit of tar. It smells like ass and there are sulfur bubbles primordially oozing on the surface.

The tar pits are thick, sticky pools of viscous asphalt (the lowest grade of crude oil) that has oozed to the surface from a large petroleum reservoir. They have yielded the fossilized skulls and bones of trapped prehistoric animals, artifacts and one 10,250 y/o partial human skeleton.

You cannot teach your dog the meaning of tomorrow, which is arguably a blessing or curse. Because of our prefrontal cortex sitting behind our foreheads we have the ability to create images of the future. What does a prefrontal cortex do most of the time—it daydreams.

It daydreams about things that don’t exist. That is what separates us from all the other animals in the animal kingdom. Our minds are time machines constantly thinking about ‘what’s next, what’s next?’

We can create, distort, even destroy our own future, all alone. At neuroscientific magnitude our most frustrating current reality is… ‘will we ever know our true potential’.

From ancient times to the appearance of the first fi****ms, towards the end of the Middle Ages, armies used different types of white weapons on the battlefield, such as swords, spears, javelins, spades, hammers, axes, etc. But there was one lethal weapon also used by different combat forces and which has very little been mentioned in history books: the war dog, trained and used exclusively to kill, especially on the sides of weakened formations or retired soldiers.

In ancient times, the Romans were the first to use dogs trained for this purpose. The first war dog used by the Roman legions on the battlefields of Europe was the Canis Pugnax its name means fighting dog This moloss was characterized by its extreme fierceness and caused terror to the neglected infantry troops, being taken to the battlefield in jauries of several dozens by special units of the Roman legion.

He could reach in weights between 60 and 80 pounds and jump to tear and smash the enemy's neck. Their descendants, crossed with mastiffs of other wild races, are scattered today in Europe, such as the French and Italian Corso and the Spanish Canary Dam. In the Middle Ages, Spanish armies also made use of fierce war dogs to confront Muslim invaders. Not only did they use the Pugnax Canis taken by the Romans to the Iberian Peninsula when it was part of the empire, but also a typical Iberian dog was used: the Spanish Alan, originally brought by the tribes of the Alanes in the fifth century, when the Roman Empire was falling.

2dog located in downtown Gainesville is a farm to table restaurant with a seasonal changing menu. Everything is pretty much homemade. Dogs are welcome and encouraged in their outdoor patio area. The artwork and atmosphere is cool, laid back, and sipping a beverage out of a hay straw leaves you feeling environmentally good.

Viking Canis Mythology:

Fenrir (pronounced “FEN-rir;”
“He Who Dwells in the Marshes”.
The most infamous of the many wolves in Norse mythology. His importance for the pre-Christian Scandinavians is demonstrated by his being depicted on numerous surviving runestones, not to mention his ubiquity in Old Norse literary sources.

He’s the son of the god Loki. The gods raised Fenrir themselves in order to keep him under their control and prevent him from wreaking havoc throughout the Nine Worlds. He grew at an astonishingly fast pace, and eventually the troubled gods decided to chain him up. Their first two attempts were unsuccessful; while the cunning gods convinced Fenrir that it was only a game, a test of his strength, he broke through the chains easily.

For their third attempt, the gods had dwarves forge the strongest chain ever built, which nevertheless gave the appearance of being very light and even soft to the touch. When the gods presented Fenrir with this he became suspicious, and he refused to be bound with it unless one of the gods would stick his or her hand in his mouth as a pledge of good faith.

Only Tyr (Norse war god of law & justice) was brave enough to do this, knowing that it would mean the loss of his hand. And, sure enough, when Fenrir found himself unable to break free of his bonds, he ripped Tyr’s hand from its arm. The chain was then tied to a boulder and a sword was placed in Fenrir’s jaws to hold them open. As he howled wildly and ceaselessly, a foamy river called “Expectation” flowed from his drooling mouth.

As the river’s ominous name implies, this was not the end of Fenrir. At Ragnarok, he will break free and run throughout the world with his lower jaw against the ground and his upper jaw in the sky, devouring everything in his path. He will even kill the god Odin before finally being put to death by one of Odin’s avenging sons.

This austere old stop - called Ospizio Bernina - is saddled in the majestic mountains in the Bernina Pass connecting St. Moritz to Italy. The station is an isolated monolith, gate crashing one of the great railway journeys in the world. When I first stumbled across this grey and rocky outpost, I felt a visceral surge of creativity.

I knew there was a powerful and authentic shot here and I don't often get that feeling. This is one of the highest railway stations in Europe.

Alone in such an extreme location, we could have been forgiven for playing to a sense of vulnerability, but that was never my direct. She owns St. Moritz and she hasn't even got there. Besides, she has a big old St Bernard to show her the way.

This project was a logistical challenge, but when I see the final print and Frida's face, it was so worthwhile. This is old Switzerland at its magnificent best. There is nowhere like it.

What a world it would be if everyone just treated everyone with kindness. It’s a nice pipe dream. Everything you interact with is a test of who you are. Vanity over function breeding is what causes mills and shelters to stay busy. If we focused on using and enjoying what we have we may be happier. Stray life is a mixed bag. On one hand you have freedom, on the other you have unfortunate luck. Historically when people meddle with nature things get f**ked up—when left alone things find their way. The life and beauty of a pure bred is no different from the uniqueness of a street mutt. When you look into the eyes of a scared hungry animal and see yourself you can connect. You can share. You can come together for a moment that matters. Multiply that one act of kindness by 8 billion people in a world full of abandoned human-bred animals and you no longer have a need for shelters. You have coexisting freedom and love, on a floating rock we all call home. We all just wanna eat. #street #dogs #puppies #wild #nature #shelters #freedom #help #share #love #puertorico #beautiful #befreeenjoyyourdog #ejodogtraining #instadog #pasta #night #muttsofinstagram #earth #pizza #pie

Food aggression is normal amongst canines. The levels vary from dirty looks to full on assaults. The higher the items value the more drastic the reaction. In this case raw bones are a high value item. To puppies that haven’t fully grasped kinesics, the results are explosive. This behavior usually mellows out as rules are learned and social rank is established. It is correctable in multi dog households. This off the cuff reaction towards humans, from a dog or puppy, would entail an entirely different protocol. Nonetheless, it is an important lesson in behavior to be able to see instincts at their sharpest. #dogs #puppies #food #guarddog #young #lessons #dogsofinstagram #ejodogtraining #rottweiler #my #dinner

A Rhesus Macaque takes on a street dog in full mane. Mono gives back and starts waving his feces baton to divert. As soon as the mutt turns his back the red-faced hammered hooligan leaps in hot pursuit. At the high ground, mutt attempts a series of air snaps when the rhesus dives in for the face clamp— too fast for that primate bullsh*t the dog counters with immediate reaction time and locks on to the face, starting a retreat. Having thumbs and insane grip strength the Macaque goes Hail Mary and attempts to bite genitals. That’s when hound-dog homie number two trots up in full mane, grabs that hairy brown ass and goes nut for nut. What a fight!
