Here\’s Today\’s Joke: Why do dogs run around in circles? Because its too hard to run in squares.

*********************************

It is always a lot easier to teach a puppy the right things to do when they are young, but it is not impossible to eliminate the bad habits of an older dog.

The first step obviously is the need to make sure the dog understands that you are the master so you can gain it\’s respect and then you can start the process of training the dog so that it no longer performs the unwanted actions.

It is important to address only one thing at a time and not try to change the way your dog responds to different things all at once.

The way you will get an old dog to change is to show it that there is a better outcome from the new behavior pattern than the old one.

This is easiest to do if the dog learns that it will get a reward for making any behavioral changes.

The clicker technique works well with old dogs and is not something that is restricted to the training of puppies alone.

Be prepared for any training to take longer than it would if you were working with a puppy, however there are other benefits in that an older dog will generally have a longer attention span than a puppy and if you have had the dog for many years they will be more likely to want to please you.

Be assertive but always remain positive and encourage the dog to change.

I\’ve sure gotten old!  
I\’ve had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,
new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes
I\’m half blind,
can\’t hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
take 40 different medications that
make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.
Have bouts with dementia.
Have poor circulation;
hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
Can\’t remember if I\’m 85 or 92.
Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,
I still have my driver\’s license.

Pat Durkin column: Bowhunting legend lives on through award

http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com

 

 

Some of us are old enough to remember when deer were few, bows and arrows were novelties and bow-killed deer were considered feats of luck or incredible skill.

Many folks forget that, until 30 years ago, cars and trucks killed more deer by accident than bowhunters did on purpose. As a result, archers forever were trying to earn respect for their equipment and their craft.

The man most recognized for proving and publicizing the effectiveness of modern bows and arrows was Michigan\’s Fred Bear, who was not only a skilled archer, but also a masterful manufacturer and communicator. During the 1950s and 1960s, Bear hunted big game around the world with bows he designed for the Bear Archery Co., and then broadcast his feats on national TV and published them in books and magazines.

Bear didn\’t establish bowhunting\’s legitimacy alone, of course. In Wisconsin, Roy Case of Racine, Larry Whiffen of Milwaukee, Art Laha of Weyauwega and the fabled professor Aldo Leopold of Madison did their part. Nationally and internationally, men such as Howard Hill, Ben Pearson, Glenn St. Charles and Bill Wadsworth added to its credibility.
