Manner for Mutts Dog Training is proud to support dog bite safety The “Be a Tree” program is a fun and interactive program that teaches school aged children how to read dog body language. They learn that dogs have feelings and emotions and that they show these in various ways. Sometimes dogs want to meet children and sometimes they don’t. Children learn not to fear dogs, but to judge when a dog does or does not want to play or be petted. They learn to recognize the signs of a happy dog (panting and wagging his tail and sitting with his owner) and to recognize the displacement behaviors dogs show when they are anxious and don’t want to interact (licking their chops, yawning, turning away or showing a half moon of white in their eye). They learn that a pushy type of dog may be staring with mouth closed and/or holding his tail way up in the air. Most importantly the children learn that dogs don’t like hugs and kisses and they learn how to be a tree (stand still with your hands folded in front and watch your roots grow) until the dog goes away or help comes. If you are interested in having Manner for Mutts Dog Training present the “Be a tree” dog bite safety seminar at your school or other place of business contact us today!

The Association of Pet Dog Trainers Declares January
Hundreds of thousands of dogs have been turned into animal shelters because their owners didn’t know how to deal with behavior problems and couldn’t find a reliable resource to help them. The APDT has selected January as the perfect month to bring awareness to the importance of dog training and socialization, and most of all, to inform the public that training your dog can be simple and fun! Many dogs and puppies are adopted and brought home during the winter holidays. The APDT wishes to help these new pet parents start off the New Year with their newest family member in the best way possible. All dog owners are invited visit the event web site www.trainyourdogmonth.com so that they can see how easy and fun training can be, and how patience, consistency and a deeper understanding of their dog’s behavior can lead to happier, healthier and harmonious households. Dog owners will find a wide range of topics covered so that they will recognize themselves & their dogs. There is also great deal of information that will help, using methods that are kind and gentle, and that have an emphasis on building trusting and respectful relationships with dogs. In addition, the APDT has more than 5000 members who are willing and able to help dog owners who need help with their dogs. If there is one thing that current television shows about dog training have taught the public, it’s that there are solutions to help dogs with behavior problems and there are alternatives to try before giving up your dog.
