| How to stop my puppy from chasing my cats I just got done reading the answers that many people have given you and I am in shock on some of the things they have told you. I m not saying they are completely incorrect, but I am an animal behaviorist and these are not proper training techniques. (Ask ANY trainer.) If anything, putting your puppy on a leash and forcing your cat to sit there while he sniffs him is almost torturous for your cat and your puppy isn t learning anything by doing this. Also, NEVER discipline your dog by putting him in a crate! Please understand this. Your dog s crate is his space. It should never be used as a time out. If you put the dog outside as punishment, then all you are doing is avoiding the disciplinary process. This won t stop your puppy s behavior, because for all he knows, he s being allowed to run around outside and play just after you told him no. This is what you need to do. Be an active role in the discipline. What I mean is get up to discipline. Sitting on the couch yelling no will get you no where. You do not need to hit your dog. Ever. They are not humans, and all they associate with that is a touch from a human hurt. This could cause long term damage to you puppy. This is what you need to do. When your cats come nearby, you need to watch your puppy. Crimson Tide 1 Nick Saban Red Stitched NCAA Jersey As soon as he starts to get the alert look on his face (head pops up, ears pop up, sits or stands up), lightly touch his back and say no, leave it. The goal in doing this is to snap him out of this mind set BEFORE he gets into chasing mode. If your dog still proceeds to get up and focus on the cats and not the correction, then you need to get up, get in front of the dog (so if he walks further he will walk into your legs) and say no, leave it. Snap your fingers and point in the opposite direction. If he doesn t move, walk into him, slightly pushing him to turn and walk the other way. This is a challenge for your dog, because he s not out to hurt your cats, he s simply wanting to play. Your cats run and he thinks it s a game of chase. You do need to correct this behavior now, before he gets bigger and ultimately someone gets hurt. Another suggestion would be to keep small treats with you when you make this correction. When your dog is back in the position you want him to be in and his focus is completely taken ncaa basketball shirts off your cats, tell him yes, good leave it and reward his good behavior with a yummy treat. This is a timely process and your puppy will not learn it over night. You need to be consistent and patient and if you are those two things, he will learn. Before you know it, your puppy and cats will be Gators 15 Tim Tebow Blue Stitched NCAA Jersey cuddled up next to eachother and when you re cats walk by your puppy, he won t be sitting there just waiting to them to pick up speed so he can start the chase. Just be patient. You said he was a lab. They are "RETRIEVERS." Their natural instinct is to retrieve. Keep that in mind. Make sure your dog is getting lots of excercise. A tired dog is a happy dog. You yell ATTT, STOPPP, NOOO. You can swat him or her on the butt. You put the puppy outside or crate. You must stop this behavior right now. This habit NOW! This is dangerous for your puppy and your cats. You puppy could lose an eye or your cat it s life in the long run. Do not let your dog continue this behavoir with other cats either. You do not want your neighbors car ending up dead or hurt in the future either.
Hurricanes 26 Sean Taylor Orange Stitched NCAA Jerseys How to stop your child being a truant Truancy is a problem for parents all over the world. In England, it has soared to a record high of 63,000. New government figures show that many pupils dodged lessons every term day last year, up by a quarter from the previous 12 months. "About 1billion has been spent on anti truancy measures since 1997. But despite that it s growing and it has high social costs," says Jan Tallis, chief executive of the charity School Home Support. Research estimates that the current 200,000 hardcore truants will cost the economy 8.8bn over their lifetimes in lower tax payments, crime costs, increased pressure on health and social services and benefit payments. "Children may play truant because they re being bullied, they come from a home with no educational ethos or they don t find school challenging enough," says Ms Tallis. "Or it could be that their parents can t afford a pair of trainers for games, so they skip Wednesday afternoons. In that case we buy them the trainers. Wolverines 3 Trey Burke White Basketball Stitched NCAA Jersey "There s always a reason behind truancy." The charity has support workers in schools, who work with children and families. In some cases, support workers phone at 8pm to check a child is getting ready for bed, or has done home work. Rawthorpe High School in Huddersfield, West Yorks, now employs a full time attendance and welfare officer. The school tackles truancy in the first instance by using a text message service called Keep Kids Safe. Lesley Rhodes, attendance and welfare officer at the school, says: "Any parent of a child not at school receives a text message telling them of their child s absence, and they re expected to respond. "Only yesterday two 11 year olds girls in yearseven Nittany Lions 11 Navy Blue Stitched NCAA Jersey skipped the afternoon. "I ve already set up meetings with the parents. "We ve given the girls detention and extra work. Taking a proactive approach means getting the message to the child, and the parent, that it s just not worth missing school there are consequences. More than 19,000 parenting Mountaineers 13 Andrew Buie Navy Blue Stitched NCAA Jersey contracts were agreed to improve attendance. "Behind every absence statistic is an individual story we need to get to the bottom of and solve," says Kevin Brennan, Minister for Young People. "We will encourage schools and councils to provide them with positive support. "But parents who fail in their duty to get their children to school every day should expect tough sanctions. "We have cut persistent absence from 7.1per cent to 6.7 per cent in the past year, but it s still our major challenge." Single mum Tina Denby, 44, from Romford, Essex, was shocked when her daughter Chanel, 15, played truant. We moved to Essex last summer, and within a month of Chanel starting her new school she d missed school. The first I heard about it was when a school staff member called and said: "We have your daughter here, with the police." When I was told the officers had found her at Romford market with a friend I was devastated. She d never skipped school before and had always enjoyed it. Since that first occasion, in October 2007, Chanel has missed lessons regularly mostly maths and English. But she s always been on the school premises hanging about in corridors. When I went to a parents evening two weeks ago, her English teacher said: "I ve no idea what Chanel looks like, because I ve never seen her." My daughter and I have talked about why she s missing lessons, and it turns out she has been bullied. She doesn t want to get into a fight or to get expelled. She also knows that, if she becomes a persistent truant, I could be fined or go to prison. |
