Title:  Thousands of banned dogs live at home with owners

Source: BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-67217993 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-66775985

Date: 10/27/2023

Summary: 3,500 banned dogs live legally with their owner in the UK, and the government intends to ban more dogs based on their breed. 

Situation:

1.  The UK government recently banned Electronic training collars and is planning on banning pronged training collars.
2. The UK also banned “Pitbull terriers, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and the Fila Brasileiro under the “Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.”
3. Later this year, The UK plans to ban the  American Bully XL
4. The American Bully was first bred in the 80’s and is a cross between American Pitbull Terriers and American Staffordshire Terriers.
5. There are four variations: Standard, pocket, classic, and XL 

Problem

1. Even though these dogs are banned, people still get them and have them. 
   1. Anita Mehdi owns a 7-year-old Pitbull terrier. 
   2. Four years ago, the police seized her dog, Lola, because someone reported her to the police.
   3. Lola was measured and assessed. She was classified as a “pit-bull-type” because she is an English Staffordshire Bull terrier, American bulldog cross.
   4. Lola also underwent a “behavioral Assessment.” for the local government official tasked with this job. 
   5. Anita says she did not know she was unaware that Lola was a “pit bull” when she got her. 
   6. Anita had to go to court to find out if she could get an exemption. 
2. The law says no pit bulls, but if you are rich enough to go to court and do the other things the government requires, you might be able to get one. 
   1. Exemption schemes allow banned dogs to stay with their owners if a court is satisfied that they do not pose a danger to the public and that strict restrictions will be followed. Lola was returned to Anita with a list of restrictions.
   2. To own one of these dogs, you must own a house, get a 6-foot fence, Spay or neuter, and microchip the dog. 
   3. Anita must prove to the government she has third-party insurance and must show a certificate of exemption to a police station within five days if she is asked to do so by police or dog warden. 
   4. If Anita fails to comply with these rules could cause the police to seize  Lola again. 
3. BBC News submitted a Freedom of Information request to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the government department that monitors the active list of exempted dogs.
4. Of the data, which showed that 3,499 banned dogs are registered in England, Scotland, and Wales, almost all are pit bull terriers, with 3,316 in England and 149 in Wales. Ten years ago, the BBC reported that there were 2,323 in England and Wales.
5. a dog that may have characteristics of another breed but still has enough pit bull characteristics to be considered a banned dog.
6. Dog Legislation Officer PC Paul Jameson said the assessment was based on physical composition and observation.
7. "We measure around 70 things altogether, looking at every aspect of the dog," he explains.
8. "We're looking for a triangular head when viewed from the front. The eyes are almond-shaped, not quite deep-set compared to other breeds. We're looking for a long, heavily muscled neck… If it has a significant number of characteristics, it will be classified as a pit bull type."
9. The government says it will ban another type of dog, the American bully XL, before the end of the year. However, it has not yet defined the breed characteristics for this animal.
10. PC Jameson says that assessing XL bullies will pose a challenge.
11. "We don't have accurate numbers of how many of these dogs are really out there. I would say there's thousands."
12. He says kennels used by police for seized dogs are already "extremely busy," and if XL bullies are to be seized in the future, this will add to the strain.
13. "But I'm sure we'll rise to the challenge when it comes in,"

Action: This is what happening

1. Tom Pattison and Casey Norster own an 11-month-old XL bully called Zuma, a family pet they have had since he was a puppy. Despite his fearsome appearance, their two young children, aged four and two, adore him
2. In preparation for Zuma becoming a banned dog breed, Tom and Casey have started to train him to use a lead and a muzzle. They are taking him to professional dog behavior training classes in the hope he will be assessed as safe to stay with them.
3. Since the announcement of a future ban on XL bullies, the family has noticed that people react differently to Zuma.
4. "People are a bit more wary about him now. They don't want their dogs to come close to him. They don't want their children close to him.
5. "If he's ever off the lead, they'll start walking in the opposite direction."
6. So, Tom and Casey are opposed to breed-specific legislation, and Anita has been campaigning to change it since Lola was seized. She says the emphasis should be placed on "responsible ownership and accountability."
7. PC Jameson says the laws are not designed to punish responsible owners. He says it would be "foolish" to return a dog to an owner who does not understand or acknowledge that their pet could be dangerous to themselves and others.

Result: Takeaway

1. The UK likes to make laws that protect idiots from themselves. They value those laws more than they value their responsible citizens. 
2. Breed bans are stupid
3. Some good things come from it
   1. People are muzzle-conditioning their dogs.
   2. People are getting training with their dogs.
   3. People are getting smarter about strange dogs
      1. People are a bit more wary about him now.
      2. They don't want their dogs to come close to him. 
      3. They don't want their children close to him.
      4. "If he's ever off the lead, they'll start walking in the opposite direction."

Title: Hundreds of dogs parade for man's 100th birthday party

Source: USA Today

Date: 30 June 2023

Situation:

1. Robert Moore of San Jose, California, was turning 100 years old.  What a momentous achievement!  To celebrate this special milestone, his family planned a big dinner.

Problem

1. But sadly, as a result of Mr. Moore’s old age, most of his friends had passed.

Action

1. However, his daughter, Alison, was determined to make it special - and she had a brilliant idea to invite dogs to her father's surprise centennial birthday party!
2. A few days before the party, Alison posted on Facebook inviting friends and neighbors in her community to drop by for a parade with their dogs on June 17th.
3. Though her post was widely shared, Alison had low expectations for turnout.

Result

1. However, to Alison’s surprise, when June 17th rolled around, hundreds of dogs and their owners lined up on the streets outside their house, waiting to be pet by the birthday boy.
2. Not just any dogs showed up, but dogs in costumes like tuxedos, cowboy hats, and bumblebees—pups in classic cars and even dogs with disabilities pulling carts.
3. People brought their dogs and their entire families to wish Mr. Moore a happy 100th birthday - some even brought flowers, posters, and cupcakes.
4. Mr. Moore, while overwhelmed with the response, made it a point to pet every dog that showed up to his party.

Date: 20 November 2023

Executive Summary:  A mysterious, lasting respiratory disease in dogs has been found in several states 

Situation:

1. An unusual respiratory illness in dogs is being investigated in several states, including New Hampshire, Oregon, and Colorado
2. Veterinarians in Oregon have reported more than 200 cases since mid-August
3. The illness was described as an “atypical canine infectious respiratory disease” in a press release from the Oregon Department of Agriculture on November 9th
4. Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, nasal/eye discharge and lethargy.
5. In some cases, the illness progresses very quickly, with dogs becoming very ill within 24 to 36 hours

Problem

1. Dogs with the mystery illness are showing similar signs of upper respiratory disease but don’t generally test positive for common respiratory illnesses
2. According to Dr. David B. Needle, a pathologist at the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and clinical associate professor at the University of New Hampshire, the disease is also generally resistant to standard antibiotic treatment.
3. Needle went on to explain that “Fatalities do not seem to be a large part of the syndrome we are investigating, with rare animals developing an acute and sometimes fatal pneumonia after the longer chronic disease. We think these may represent secondary infections.”

Action

1. Dr. Needle is part of a team trying to identify the disease
2. “If what we have identified is a pathogen, it is likely that the bacteria is host-adapted bacteria with long histories of colonizing dogs,” Needle said. He said that an “evolutionary event” like spontaneous mutation or getting a gene from a different source could then have led the bacteria to become virulent.

Result

1. While this is certainly not good news, the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association’s website encourages caution rather than worry
2. While this disease is unusual, periodic outbreaks of canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC) do happen, which is transmitted by respiratory droplets
3. So, what can dog owners do to keep their dogs safe?
4. If your dog exhibits any of the symptoms (coughing, sneezing, nasal and/or eye discharge, and lethargy) - contact your veterinarian and keep your sick dog at home
5. In terms of prevention:
   1. Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccines such as canine influenza, bordetella, and parainfluenza
   2. Reducing contact with many unknown dogs - another vote against dog parks!!
   3. Reduce contact with sick dogs
   4. Avoid communal water bowls shared by multiple dogs

Date: July 25, 2023

Situation:

The Biden’s German Shepherd Dogs Keeps on Biting People at the White House.

1. Secret Service records show that President Joe Biden’s German Shepherd Dog Commander has bitten agency officers stationed at the White House 10 times between October 2022 and January. At least one biting incident required a trip to the hospital for the injured officer.

Problem

1. The President’s dog keeps biting people. 
   1. This dog, Commander, is their second dog to bite secret service members. 
   2. Major, the other dog, also bit White House staff
   3. Major was sent to live with friends in Delaware after the bites. 
2. White House staff point out that the White House is a unique and often stressful environment. 
3. And that the Bidens are working through ways to improve the situation. 
4. Chief spokesperson for the Secret Service said, “The Secret Service navigates how best to operate around family pets, and these incidents are no exception. We take the safety and well-being of our employees extremely seriously.”
5. Biden received Commander in December 2021 as a gift from his brother James. The records released cover a fraction of his year and a half as a presidential pet.
6. On November 3rd, 22, a uniformed officer was bitten twice. The officer suffered injuries serious enough to require aid at the White House and at the hospital and was placed on restricted duty for several days. 

Action/ What’s happening 

1. Jill Biden’s Spokesperson said, “The Bidens have been working with the Secret Service and the White House residence staff “on additional leashing protocols and training” for the Commander and establishing designated areas where he can run around for exercise.
2. Secret Service Spokesperson said, “While special agents and officers neither care for nor handle the first family’s pets, we continuously work with all applicable entities to minimize adverse impacts in an environment that includes pets,” 
3. Commander is often seen being led around by the White House’s chief groundskeeper.
4.  Chief government relations officer of the Humane Society of the United States and president of the Humane Society Legislative Fund said dog bites can happen for a variety of reasons, and the odds of it happening can be reduced by understanding the signals a dog sends when it is in an uncomfortable situation and removing whatever is causing fear or stress. But sometimes, changing a dog’s environment may not be enough to keep them from biting.
5. The Biden’s are seeking the help of a professional dog trainer.
6. The AP reported on Oct. 5th that Commander was sent to an undisclosed location.  

Result

1. Other questions: Why did James give them a GSD? 
2. Are GSD good white house dogs? 
3. This is a touchy situation 
   1. Stressful life
   2. Trained fighting men dressed in suits everywhere 
   3. The owner does not have the time to train the dog or to do the things needed to change the dog's behavior. 
4. Managing the environment to prevent bites is possible. 

Other Presidents with biting pet dogs 

Alexandra Horowitz wrote in the NY Times, “Commander is not the first biter in the White House. The Bidens’ previous dogs, Champ and Major, were sent back to Delaware in March 2021 after what was described as a biting incident. Teddy Roosevelt had a bull terrier called Pete who bit a Navy Department clerk and tore off the pants of the French ambassador. Franklin D. Roosevelt exiled his dog — also, coincidentally, a German shepherd called Major — after he bit the British prime minister, as well as the first woman elected to the Senate, Hattie Caraway (Lest anyone start hand-wringing about German shepherds, Eleanor Roosevelt’s Scottish terrier Meggie, a squat, short-legged dog, was a biter: She was sent away after biting a journalist.)”

Executive Summary:  A couple in northwestern Pennsylvania were surprised when their barking dog led them to an escaped homicide suspect who was hiding on their property.

Situation:

1. Cindy and Ron Ecklund of Conewango Township had noticed their dog was barking on a Saturday afternoon and hopped in their golf cart to see what all the fuss was about
2. When they got to the rear of their property, they encountered a man who claimed to be camping.

Problem

1. When they got to the rear of their property, they encountered a man who claimed to be camping.
2. Ron Ecklund said he soon recognized Michael Burham from news coverage of his escape from Warren County jail - authorities said Burham escaped by climbing on exercise equipment, going through a window, and scaling down a rope fashioned from jail bedding in the late evening hours of July 6th.
3. What Was he in prison for, you ask? Burham was being held on arson and burglary charges and was a suspect in a homicide investigation.  He was also associated with the carjacking and kidnapping of a local couple.

Action

1. Ron Ecklund told his wife Cindy to get back in the golf cart so they could return to their house.
2. On the way, he told Cindy to call 911.

Result

1. Searchers and two dogs tracked Burham through the woods and eventually encountered two troopers who were part of monitoring the perimeter set up by police. 
2. Though he tried to hide, Burham was approached from behind by federal marshals, border patrol, and state police - who arrested him at gunpoint.

https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/heat-stroke-in-dogs

Date: 06/14/2023

Summary: Summers are getting hotter. Here are things to consider as we walk our dogs on hot days.  

Situation:

1. June was hot for many dogs and dog owners in the Northern Hemisphere.
2. Dogs need walks and should be walked every day. Some dogs need more than one walk a day to live happily with their family.
3. It can be dangerous for our dogs to walk when it is too hot. 
4. The Vet Now Website made an infographic to help people remember to consider the temperature when considering walking their dog this summer.    

Problem

1. Dogs can suffer from heatstroke.
2. Heatstroke happens with dogs are not able to self-regulate and keep their temperature at a comfortable level.
3. Heatstroke can be fatal in as little as 15 minutes.

Action

1. Vet Now claims that 12-15 Degrees C (53- 59 f) has no evidence of risk of heatstroke
2. 16-19 degrees C (60.8-66.2 f) is generally safe to walk your dog, regardless of the time of day, but large breed dogs, obese and flat-faced dogs should be watched for signs of discomfort 
3. 20-23 degrees C, (68- 73 f) there is a risk of heat stroke if the dog is exercised too rigorously or sufferers from obesity or breathing difficulties. 
4. 24-27 degrees C - (75-80) “Extreme caution should be taken as most dogs, particularly those who are large, obese, flat-faced, and very young, will find these temperatures uncomfortable.  
5. 32 degrees C and higher (89.6 f) heat stoke becomes a major risk regardless of condition, size, or dog breed. 
6. According to the head vet at Cherry Tree Veterinary Practice, Clare Hamilton, “If you stand barefoot on the patio or pavement and it feels too hot for you, then it’s certainly too hot for your dog.”
7. She says, “Anything over 25 degrees C (77 f) is very risky…depends on humidity and breeze.”
8. Look for the signs of heat-related health issues, Heavy panting, red eyes, red gums, hot skin, reduced activity, Vomiting, diarrhea, and collapsing. 
9. Clare gives ideas to keep your dog cool, like Putting ice cubes in water bowls, getting a doggie pool and putting it in the shade, Getting fans for indoors, do not leave your dog in the car or shadeless yard, Inside do not shut dogs in a closed room without an open window. 

Result

1. What is Heat Stroke? 
   1. Heat stroke is a term commonly used for hyperthermia or elevated body temperature. Generally speaking, if a pet's body temperature exceeds 103°F (39.4°C), it is considered abnormal or hyperthermic. Body temperatures above 106°F (41°F) without previous signs of illness are most commonly associated with exposure to excessive external or environmental heat and are often referred to as heat stroke. The critical temperature where multiple organ failure and impending death occurs is around 107°F to 109°F (41.2°C to 42.7°C).
2. What to do if your dog has heat stroke? 
   1. Move the dog to a shaded, cool area, and immediately pour cool, not cold, water over the dog to avoid shock. Tap water 15-16 degrees c (59- 60 f) is the most effective at cooling dogs down.

Title:  Courts have long seen K-9 dogs as impartial. Now police bodycams hold them accountable

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF52AnWEjAw&t=91s

Source: NPR

Date:  08 June 2023 

Summary: Body camera footage is forcing people to reconsider whether drug-sniffing dogs are impartial

Situation:

1.  For decades, American courts have presumed that drug-sniffing dogs were impartial as supported by training records and proper credentialing by local K-9 organization
2. However, body camera footage is now causing people to rethink the impartiality of these dogs, as evidenced by a newly filed federal lawsuit in Texas

Problem

1. In the lawsuit, 37-year-old Houston resident Alek Schott accuses Bexar County Sheriff's deputy Joel Babb of pulling him over on Interstate 35 on false pretenses
2. Upon refusing to give permission for law enforcement to search his pickup truck, Schott claims that K-9 unit deputy Martin A. Molina III prompted his dog to "alert" to the scent of drugs.

Action

1. Historically this would have been nearly impossible to prove, but with the advent of body cameras, things are changing
2. So Schott requested and received the body camera footage, which gave him almost the same view as that of K-9 deputy Molina
3. The video shows the moment Molina gestured towards his attentive dog with his right hand, at which point the dog jumped up on the pickup’s door, and Molina let him into the cab to search the truck.
4. "It's clear to me that he's telling the dog to alert," Schott says. "I thought, 'These guys are trying to destroy my life.' "

Result

1. No drugs were found in Schott's pickup, and the county later reimbursed him for damage done during the search — including dog scratches outside and inside the truck.
2. Schott, who is suing the sheriff’s office, is represented by Christine Herbert, an attorney with the Institute for Justice, a civil liberties organization focused on search and seizure.
3. Herbert says they’re pursuing the lawsuit because they believe the deputies violated Schott's rights — and did so in part by relying on the dog.
4. The potential influence of a handler’s agenda on their dog has long been a nagging doubt about drug-sniffing dogs - more specifically, handlers might influence them to alert to a scent that may not be there. 
5. Research has shown handlers may not even realize they're doing it. 
6. Some K-9 trainers have called for "double-blind" testing of the dogs to eliminate police bias
7. In double-blind testing, the location and existence of test drugs are randomized, unknown even to the dog's handler. 
   1. Eliminating Police Bias When Handling Drug-Sniffing Dogs
8. But that approach has been slow to catch on and is often met with hostility.
9. Former K-9 officer and trainer Andy Falco hopes the spread of body cameras will change that hostility towards double-blind testing
10. Falco, who works as an expert witness in cases involving sniffer dogs, says the number of legal challenges based on close-up video has exploded. 
11. Falco, who saw the video in question for Schott’s case, says he understands why Schott is suing 
12. The sheriff's office would not comment to NPR on the case, citing "pending litigation."

Title: Who is responsible for keeping communities safe from biting dogs? 

Source: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/multiple-attacks-reported-at-dc-dog-park, 

Date: 

Summary: In Washington, DC, there is a problem with dogs biting, mostly other dogs but also people. The locals have a hard time finding answers. 

Situation:

1.  There is a park in DC. called Swampadoodle Dog Park. 
2. According to the report, Jenn Schuessler “was still holding my puppy, and she (Kasia Scott) said, ‘Did that dog attack your dog,’ and I said ‘Yes twice’”  
3. Kasia claimed to have had problems with that dog a few times. Maybe 3 times in the past 3 months. 
4. Kasia posted a picture of a bite she received at the dog park on Facebook. It does not look pleasant.
5. But the picture is of a bite from a different dog that was going after her dog at the same park. 
6. Schuessler reached out to the nonprofit board that maintains the park.
7. The board directed her to animal control because they investigate dog bites. 
8. Fox 5 spoke to the president of the board, who confirmed they don’t have the power to ban dogs or enforce park rules. 
9. Dan D’Eramo, director of field services at Humane Rescue Alliance, said, we put together a thorough and fair packet of information outlining the history of the animal, the circumstances of the bite, the severity of the bite … As well as our recommendation to the department of health for a possible designation as a dangerous dog or potentially dangerous dog. 
10. D.C. law authorizes the mayor to designate dangerous or potentially dangerous dogs but does not specify what would trigger that designation. 
11. Fox 5 asked the mayor's office and D.C. Health about how many dogs are designated each year and if there is a publicly available list, so residents can know if they are near one. They have not gotten a response.
12. There are multiple reports of off-leash dogs biting in regular parks - sometimes biting people. 
13. D’Eromo says a dog biting another at a dog park does not necessarily indicate aggressive behavior outside the dog park.     

Problem

1. Kasia's dog gets into a lot of fights at the dog park 
   1. Why does Kasia continue to bring her dog to the dog park 
2. Dogs that like to fight with Kasia’s dog and other dogs repeatedly attend D.C.’s dog park. 
3. The park's rules can not be enforced by the nonprofit that governs the park. 
4. If a dog or person is bitten, the biting dog has to go through the process to be designated dangerous. That takes time. And the dog can move at liberty before designation.
5. The article is written to disparage the mayor and D.C. Health  

Action

1. Responsibility to stop bites 
   1. Owner 
   2. The Community 
   3. Owner/manager of the property 
   4. Municipal government 
   5. State government 
   6. Federal government 

Result

1. Fewer bites 
2. Fewer complaints 
3. Fewer regulations

• https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/may/15/dog-rescued-after-scaling-englands-highest-mountain-scafell-pike

Date: 17  May 2023

Situation:

1. A 73-pound Akita named Rocky went on a hike earlier this month with his owners.
2. The hike was at Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain reaching an elevation of just over 3200 feet.
3. Scafell Pike is located in England's Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and has multiple hiking trails, the shortest of which takes about 3 hours, but longer trails can take up to 9 hours.

Problem

1. Once they had reached the peak, Rocky refused to descend the mountain

Action

1. The owners made a call for help around 6:25 pm and noted they were starting to feel cold
2. 13 volunteers from the Keswick Mountain rescue team responded 

Result

1. The rescue team found Rocky dog-tired with an injury to one of his paws
2. The team nestled Rocky in a fleece-lined carrying bag and then secured him to a stretcher
3. According to the rescuers, Rocky remained "cool, calm and positively regal throughout" his return journey.
4. This isn’t the first dog rescue on Scafell Pike - A similar rescue took place in 2020 when 16 rescuers worked to carry a 121-pound Saint Bernard who had collapsed while descending the mountain.
5. According to a website advising hikers on climbing the mountain, it is possible for pets and children to climb the peak, but hikers must prepare with the appropriate equipment, suitable footwear, enough food, and water, and make sure all members of the party have the appropriate fitness and skills to do the hike safely.

Date:03/31/2023

Summary: A dog bites a woman at home depot. The owner flees the scene.

Situation:

1.  A person brings their dog to home depot. 
2. A woman at home depot asks the owner if she could pet the dog. 
3. The owner told her to treat the dog as part of the dog’s training.
4. The dog sat for the treat and took the treat nicely from the woman. 
5. And then lunged at the woman’s face.
6. According to the sheriff’s office, the dog bit her so badly that there was a lot of blood, and she required surgery. 
7. As a home depot employee administered 1st aid to the victim, the owner and the dog left the scene. 
8. Authorities released photos of the woman with the dog to get help finding her. The authorities were able to identify the owner and a second woman that was with the owner at the time of the attack. 
9. The dog owner's name was not released, and the sheriff would not say if the owner were in custody. 
10. A reporter asked if the owner could face charges for leaving the scene. 
11. The sheriff’s office representative said, “We don’t have an ordinance like that, unfortunately. They went on to say that the responsibility was to stay and ensure that she was okay and give her all the information she needed to seek medical care because she clearly needed it. 
12. The owners stated that it was a head butt, not a bite.
13. The investigators are looking for evidence from the doctors. 
14. The owner will be charged with “dog bitting under the owner’s control off owner’s premises or harboring a vicious dog. 
15. The dog is at home with their owner serving a 10-day quarantine to ensure it does not have rabies. 

Problem

1. Leaving the scene
2. It is okay to say No.
3. Strangers think that they should pet other people's dogs.
   1. Culture 
4. Taking a dog to home depot and other public places. 
5. Asking strangers to help you train your dog. 
6. Owner’s comprehension skills
   1. People are bad at telling if a dog will be aggressive. 
   2. A dog that is sitting might not be calm or friendly. 
7. I do not allow random people to practice their dog training on me. 

Action

1. Be honest with yourself, and practice personal responsibility. 
   1. Dogs are great at helping us to learn those kinds of lessons.
      1. Some other lessons that dogs help us learn 
         1. Patience 
         2. Purservaence 
         3. Consistency 
         4. Routine and structure
2. Know where you are in your training
   1. Did you just start?
   2. Have you truly seen improvements? 
   3. Do you know the situations in that your dog will definitely/might/not fail?
3. A good dog trainer can help you speed things up.

Result

1. I am a fan of good dogs being allowed to go places with their responsible owners. 
2. To be responsible dog owners, we have to be honest with ourselves. We must see the facts of our behavior and our pets' behavior. We must analyze all the time we spend with our dogs, especially when things go poorly.
3. Responsible dog owners know when it is too much for them. Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold’em. Always do the responsible thing, not the easy thing.

Summary 

An international dog show run by the American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC) UK has been canceled for the section time due to concerns about animal welfare.

Situation:

1. The ABKC UK Bully Festival, an international dog show, was supposed to be held earlier this year in a city called Coventry, northwest of London.
2. After a BBC investigation into animal welfare, which showed American bully-type dogs with cropped ears winning awards, the venue in Coventry terminated its agreement with ABKC UK.
   1. The BBC investigation also involved a journalist secretly filming inside the home of an ABKC-qualified judge, in which they found 2 10-week puppies in a cage (“crate??”) with freshly cropped ears. 
3. Ear-cropping was a "painful process where a dog's outer ears are removed altogether or are surgically altered, with the tips or huge sections of the outer ear being cut off."
4. The practice has been called "cruel" and "mutilation" by welfare organizations and is illegal in the UK under the Animal Health and Welfare Act.

Problem

1. As a result of this cancellation, the ABCK UK Bully festival was set to take place in Manchester on Saturday, April 8th.
2. However, the venue, Bowlers Exhibition Centre, ultimately decided to cancel the event "after careful consideration and extensive consultation with local authorities, police, and the RSPCA.” according to a spokesperson.
3. The RSPCA  (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), which has seen incidents of ear-cropping rise in recent years, was pleased about this cancellation after raising their concerns with the venue.
4. Dr. Samantha Gaines, from the charity, remarked, “Sadly, despite [being illegal and cruel], too many people still think this is a desirable cosmetic trait and inflict this on dogs for no other reason than for the look." 

Action

1. The ABKC dog show organizer Sean Main maintains he’s done nothing illegal and was quoted as saying, “It is not illegal for a dog with cropped ears to be imported into the country," - but to me, there are plenty of things that are legal and probably shouldn’t be…

Result

1. Fun fact - The Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill, which is currently going through Westminster, would prohibit the import of dogs with cropped ears.
2. It has received cross-party support and backing from organizations, including the RSPCA, Dogs Trust, and British Veterinary Association.
3. Facts about the RSPCA:
   1. The RSPCA is funded primarily by voluntary donations. Founded in 1824, it is the oldest and largest animal welfare organization in the world.
   2. Controversy - fundraising in Scotland, political lobbying regarding badger culling, people upset that they allow euthanasia.
   3. “The RSPCA is working for a world where no rehome able animal is put to sleep. Currently, the RSPCA accepts, with great reluctance, that in certain circumstances, euthanasia may be necessary when the animal is not rehomed able, because it is sick or injured, for behavioral reasons, or occasionally because there are no appropriate homes available and the animal would therefore endure long-term suffering through deprivation of basic needs.[87]” but euthanized 205 healthy horses in  2014.

Date: 03/15/2023

Summary 

The French bulldog (FB) is the Top Breed in the United States. 

Situation:

1. According to the AKC, the FB is now the favorite dog breed in the U.S.  
2. Because they are the more prevalent purebred dog last year.
3. The Labrador Retriever held the top spot for the last 31 years
4. The US News took an interesting angle in reporting this story.
5. They wanted to frame it as an argument between pro-FB and con-FB people. (creating division)  Their actual first sentence is a run-on, but the first part says, “Adorable in some eyes, deplorable in others,(a bunch of adjectives) the FB became the nation’s most prevalent purebred dog last year,”  
   1. They talk about why people like or dislike the breed
      1. Like 
         1. Comical 
         2. Funny 
         3. Loving
         4. Small
      2. Dislike 
         1. Medical
            1. Breathing
            2. Spinal 
            3. Eyes 
            4. Skin conditions 
   2. The article talks about countries that urge or forbid people from purchasing that breed. 
      1. British Veterinary Association urges people not to buy “Flat-faced breeds.
      2. The Netherlands prohibits breeding very short-snouted dogs and the country’s agriculture minister aims to outlaw owning those breeds. 

Problem

1. These dogs have problems.
   1. Owners need to research breeders and health testing and recognize that problems can be expensive to treat
2. Even with genetic shortcomings, these dogs can be active.
   1. They can do agility, take hikes, play fetch, and play tug-a-war  
3. They are a bully breed
   1. Sometimes like conflict 
   2. Not always good with other dogs- That is true about a lot of breeds, but these dogs seem to have a lower threshold for foolishness. 
   3. They can bully people
      1. They seem to like to charge at people's feet. 
   4. They are, IMO hard to read.
      1. Facial features are difficult to read, and their faces are less expressive IMO
      2. Body language is different from most dogs due to structure and temperament. 
   5. They are bred for looks, not for health. 

Action

1. The AKC's popularity rankings cover about 200 breeds in the nation’s oldest canine registry. The stats are based on nearly 716,500 puppies and other dogs newly registered last year — about 1 in every 7 of them a Frenchie. Registration is voluntary.
2. The rankings don’t count mixed breeds or, at least for now, Labradoodles, puggles, Morkies, and other popular “designer” hybrids. The AKC's top 10 were: French bulldogs, Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, German shepherds, poodles, bulldogs, Rottweilers, beagles, dachshunds, and German shorthaired pointers.
3. Last year, about 108,000 newly registered FB surpassed Labs by 21,000
4. A lot of these problems can happen with any breed, and some other breeds have different problems that are rare with FBs. But any dog can get sick
   1. Hip dysplasia 
   2. Cancer 
5. The American Veterinary Medical Association is exploring ways to improve flat-faced breeds.
6. Reseach what goes into owning any breed. 
   1. Websites are not best for researching breeds. They  tend to harp on the good qualities while remaining silent about many of the bad qualities, including temperaments that may be more likely in a particular breed. 
   2. IMO it is best to connect with someone that works with dogs. They see a lot of dogs and are more likely to articulate the drawbacks of many breeds. 

Result

1. People will continue to breed these dogs. They are popular, and the money is too good.

*This was not the article that I heard as a dog walker. I heard an interview by the Author of this article. 

Source: Stanley Coren https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/canine-corner/202301/does-it-matter-whether-dog-training-is-positive-or-aversive

A Study from 2003

Negative effects of positive reinforcement

Date: 01/02/2023

Summary: A study has been published to show that positive reinforcement training causes less stress to dogs. The author of this article used the opportunity to make ridiculous assertions to spin the study to a presupposed position. 

Situation: The article starts with the following key points. 

1. There is much controversy about the effectiveness of positive reward-based versus discipline-based dog training.
2. Dogs whose training involved punishment and compulsion show more tension-related behaviors and higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol. 
3. When tested a month after force-based training, dogs still show a more negative, pessimistic emotional response toward learning new tasks.
4. A 2020 study by a team from the University of Porto tried to provide additional data by looking at how training method affects the psychological welfare of dogs being taught basic obedience commands.
5. The article claims, “Around the beginning of the 20th century, the first systematic dog training manuals were published. Some of the most influential were written by Konrad Most, who trained dogs for the Berlin police force and later for the German army.
6. The article says, “many other aversive, force-based training methods are available—and unfortunately, the effects of these methods have not been well-studied.”
7. By contrast, consider positive training, which involves rewarding a dog with a pleasant stimulus after it shows the desired behavior. Obviously, the most common form of reward involves food treats; however, positive dog trainers can also use verbal praise, petting the dog, or engage in a bit of play.
8. In dog classes, the punishing or confrontational techniques typically used to control dogs can include sharp leash corrections meant to cause discomfort, slapping the dog, applying physical force to pressure a dog into a submissive position, shouting, threatening stares, use of water sprays, grabbing the dog by the scruff of the neck, or physically yanking at the dog to force it into the desired position.
9. The author stated that “advocates” for “punishment based-training,” whoever they are and whatever that is, presume that canine misbehavior is rooted in the dog’s attempt to express social dominance over its owner. 
10. “Advocates of such theories suggest that dog owners need to establish themselves as the "alpha" or "pack leader," using physical manipulations, threats, and intimidation in order to do so. The application of force is supposed to compel the dog to adopt a less challenging, more compliant, and subordinate attitude.

Problem - The Study 

1. We finally get to the study. 
2. The Study looked at 92 pet dogs. 
3. There are seven different companion dog training programs in Porto, Portugal. 
4. The specific behaviors being trained were fairly standard, including teaching the dog to sit, lie down, stay, come when called, and heel or walk on a loose leash.
5. The programs were divided into those that focused on mainly coercive interactions, those that used exclusively positive methods, or classes with a balanced mix of the two techniques.
6. According to the article, It is important to note that this study focused on the welfare of the dogs, specifically their emotional responses, and whether these emotional effects extended beyond the actual training sessions—not on the effectiveness of the training per se.
   1. What is meant by the welfare of the dog? The dogs' emotions. not if the dog's behavior will cause them to lose their home or their lives. 

Action

1.  the animals received both a short-term and a long-term assessment. 
2. For the short-term assessment, videos were taken of three of their training sessions to look for stress-related behaviors in the dogs, such as cringing, yelping, lip licking, panting, and so forth.
3. Saliva samples were taken to determine stress levels during training. 
4. Samples were taken from each dog separately while relaxing at home (to establish a baseline) and from each dog after training sessions.
   1. I would have liked to see samples taken before any training started. 
5. These measures allowed the investigators to look at the level of cortisol, a hormone in the blood. 
6. Most readers will find it unsurprising that the dogs in the aversive training classes showed more frequent stress-related behaviors, particularly panting, yawning, and lip licking. In addition, the dogs subjected to leash jerks, yelling, and other methods of force during their training had significantly increased cortisol levels compared to those with a more positive training experience.
   1. Most readers will find it is telling the reader what to think. 
   2. How about the mixed training classes. Do they fall under “more positive training experiences?” 
7. 79 of them were brought back and trained for a new task.
8. They were taught to associate the presence of a bowl on one side of a room with a sausage snack, while if the bowl was located on the other side of the room, it never contained the treat.
9. The researchers varied the placement of the bowl to ambiguous locations to see how quickly the dogs would approach, looking for the treat.
10. This test is believed to measure optimism or pessimism on the part of the dog since a higher speed in the running to the bowl is interpreted to mean that the dog is anticipating a reward, whereas a slower speed signifies that the dog is more doubtful and has a more negative attitude toward the situation.
    1. Did the dogs tell you what their movement meant to them? 
    2. Is the slower movement possibly indicating impulse control, discernment, or thought? 
11.  Many people might find it surprising that a month after training classes, there were still effects associated with the training methods.
    1. I hope not. There should be effects month after or the training was not effective. If a dog could not control itself around sausage before training, could during training, but could not a few months after training, what is the purpose of training? 
12. It seems as though a negative emotional pallor has descended upon the dogs who received the aversive and force-based training compared to their compatriots who received positive training. Those aversively trained dogs simply are not expecting anything good to come due to their behaviors and choices.
    1. Seems to who? 
    2. How does the author know what the dogs are expecting? I do not see the speed at which a dog approaches food to indicate their expectations. 

Result

1.  "Our study points out that the [psychological] welfare of companion dogs trained with aversive-based methods appears to be at risk."

Commentary/pushback

1. What is discipline-based dog training?
   1. I think it is important to define “discipline.” Because sometimes people get lazy with their word selection. According to Merriam-webster dictionary.
      1.  control gained by enforcing obedience or order
      2. Orderly or prescribed conduct, or pattern of behavior
      3. SELF-CONTROL
      4. PUNISHMENT
      5. training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character.
      6. a field of study,
      7. a rule or system of rules governing conduct or activity
2. Maybe I am wrong, but I think the meaning of the word discipline aligns with any dog training style. 
3. In my experience, a small group of extremists in the dog training world has controversy in their own minds and circles. The “controversy” does not go beyond that small but loud minority. 
4. The tests did not take into account the natural disposition of the dog and its stress levels prior to the start of the dog’s training.
5. Notice that the author change the terms from “discipline-based training to force-based training. 
   1. What is force-based training, and who is practicing that in 2023?
6. I have trained dogs professionally for a while. I have heard Konrad Most before, but he does not greatly influence modern dog trainers. I have not met a dog trainer who talks about his training as an influence on their training. 
7. War dogs and police dogs have very stressful jobs. So do soldiers. We can expect some stress in training those dogs, and stress is not a negative. 
8. What does “well-studied” mean when referring to the use of aversives in dog/animal training? I know that there are studies that prove that aversives are effective in the training of animals, including human beings. 
9. Positive training? Positive training is a weird term. The Article refers to positive reinforcement training, but it calls it positive training. I have never seen anyone practice PR with our also practicing Negative punishment. Let's talk about that a bit. 
   1. Key concepts of operant conditioning
10. In dog training classes, the punishing or confrontational techniques typically used to control dogs can include sharp leash corrections meant to cause discomfort, slapping the dog, applying physical force to pressure a dog into a submissive position, shouting, threatening stares, use of water sprays, grabbing the dog by the scruff of the neck, or physically yanking at the dog to force it into the desired position.
11.  I do not believe people are using punishment to teach dogs new commands. Punishment is always used to stop unwanted behavior. While reinforcement is always used to get a behavior to happen more frequently.
12. Who thinks canine misbehavior is rooted in the dog’s attempts to express social dominance? I think that most misbehavior is caused by basic misunderstands between the species. It is not personal. 
13. What does it mean to be an “alpha/pack leader?” 
    1. How does one establish themselves as a leader in the family? 
       1. Provide and Control resources.
       2. Control the timing of events. 
       3. Control of the environment. 

The title of the article is, Does it Matter Whether Dog Training is Positive or Aversive? I don’t think the article provides a satisfactory answer to the question. The author is concerned with the emotional well-being of the animal.

Princess Anne's Pet Bull Terrier Attacked Another Dog at Royal Family Gathering: Report - dated January 19 2023 (People.com)

OFF THE LEASH Princess Anne’s Bull Terrier savages another dog as witnesses say there was ‘a lot of blood and screaming’ - dated January 17 2023 (The Sun)

Summary: Princess Anne’s bull terriers attacked another dog during a royal family outing to hunt pheasant on boxing day. 

Situation: 

1. The British royal family holds an annual Boxing Day hunt (the day after Christmas)
2. The Boxing Day hunt is a huge family affair, so Princess Anne, the 72-year-old daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth, took along her dog this past December

Problem:

1. Princess Anne’s dog ran across the field straight at the gamekeeper’s dog and latched on to its ear.
2. According to an insider, “there was a lot of blood and a lot of screaming and a lot of shouting. Getting the dog off the ear took a while because it had really sunk its teeth in.”

Result:

1. Despite the vast amount of blood and screaming, it’s reported that both dogs are thought to have survived.
2. Others have wondered what would have happened if it had been Princess Charlotte or Prince George that had been bitten, or any of the children for that matter, instead of another dog
3. Coincidentally, This isn't the first time one of Princess Anne's Bull Terriers has made headlines. 
4. In 2002, she was ordered to court after her Bull Terrier named Dotty escaped her control during a walk in the park at Windsor Castle and bit two young boys, The New York Times reported. 
5. Princess Anne pled guilty and paid a fine, becoming the first senior-ranking British royal to be convicted of a criminal offense in modern times.
6. The following year, another one of Anne's Bull Terriers attacked another dog — a corgi belonging to the late Queen Elizabeth II. The corgi had to be put down as a result of the attack.
