Pet Tip of the Week

 

Training Your Dog Using Positive Reinforcement

There are many methods used to train dogs. One charismatic fellow makes big bucks promoting the domination or punishment theory; if you look up his videos on the Internet you will see him choking, shocking, and abusing dogs, all in the name of training. Some folks (like me) use a gentler approach. Although positive reinforcement training (using rewards) and positive punishment methods (choke chains, pinch collars, electronic or ‘shock’ collars) are both effective, the punishment methods can do some major damage to the canine in question.

A great way to begin training your dog is by using voice modulation and facial expression. That is, speak softly as though you were talking to a young child when you ask for a behavior. If Fido responds by offering you that behavior, smile and respond with praise. If Fido does not offer the correct response, frown and use a negative-sounding noise or a word like, \”Hey!\” In no time at all, your dog will catch on without the use of strong-arm tactics!

Hunting and Fishing News for April 9

New Jersey Trout Season Opens Saturday

\"The The most anticipated day on the New Jersey fishing calendar is the opening day of trout season.

Anglers eagerly awaiting this year\’s opening day on Saturday, April 10 should check out a Star-Ledger video at http://videos.nj.com/star-ledger/2010/04/stocking_trout_in_new_jersey_l.html to see some of the 190,000 fabulous trout already waiting for them.

During April and May, nearly 600,000 trout will be stocked in 89 streams and 90 ponds and lakes throughout New Jersey. Some of the 26,000 two-pound to five-pound bruisers still out there from stockings in the fall and winter will be joined by another 6,000 big trout during the spring stocking season.

Nine ponds and small lakes will get an extra allocation of 30 to 50 trout that measure 16 inches to 19 inches and weigh 3 pounds to 5 pounds. Locations of the nine Bonus Broodstock Ponds and Lakes and spring trout stocking information for the entire state can be viewed at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/trtinfo_spring.htm. Weekly in-season stocking information is also available by calling the Trout Stocking Hotline, (609) 633-6765.

There\’s a reason the number of New Jersey trout anglers has increased more than 21 percent during the past five years. It\’s because trout fishing has never been better in the Garden State, and we\’re working to keep it that way in 2010. Don\’t miss out this year; join the growing group of anglers who know the value and quality of New Jersey trout fishing.
