Most of us want to say yes. A good neighbor lets children pet his dog, right? AP Photo/Jon Way Myles Blane, left, gives a command to Trixtan as dog trainer Amy Robinson gives instructions. "People want to be nice," says Colleen Pelar, dog trainer and author of "Living with Kids and Dogs... Without Losing Your Mind." ''But by being nice to people we're sometimes not nice to our dogs." Many people don't recognize the subtle signs of stress in dog body language. You may not realize that your dog tolerates being petted by strangers but does not enjoy it. "If we don't see that, we're going to be blindsided on the day that's more stressful, when four kids come over and your dog snaps," says Pelar. There's certainly no need to panic about the odds of a dog bite. In her book "Dogs Bite But Balloons and Slippers are More Dangerous", trainer Janis Bradley gives statistics showing that more emergency room visits can be attributed to accidents with furniture or footwear than interactions with dogs. But no matter how small the chance is ? no matter if it's just a snap and not even a scratch ? you know how bad you'd feel if it was your dog. So follow a few simple rules, and understand some basic elements of canine body language. ?Most kids know to ask the owner if it's OK. But, Pelar emphasizes, "Then you have to ask the dog." Some experts suggest having the child putting out a closed fist or a hand with palm upraised, others say just stand there. But all agree: let the dog decide whether to approach the child. Don't hold a dog still in your lap for petting, and respect the dog's decision if it turns away or moves behind the owner. ?If the dog does approach, observe the body language. Don't concentrate on the tail, it can be hard to read. Pelar says, "I tell people that if they're looking at the tail, they're watching the wrong end of the dog." Instead, the mouth can give a lot of clues. A dog that's licking lips, panting excessively, or yawning, is showing that he's not comfortable. These are oral self-soothing behaviors much like sucking your thumb, says Pelar. In contrast ? opposite of the common maternal fear of the teeth showing ? if the dog's mouth is open, that's a sign that it's relaxed. ?Pet a dog under the chin or along the neck or side, not the top of the head. Pelar explains this to children by saying, "Avoid the sensitive eyes and ears." This is easy to understand, and the result is that they avoid the blind spot on the top of the dog's head. ?Encourage children to pet slowly, rather than rapid patting. "Slow motion like in the movies, every kid understands what that means," says trainer Amy Robinson, whose DVD "Drool School" teaches dog safety to children. ?You can also do some advance training to prepare your dog for social interactions. Although children should be told not to pull ears or tail, sometimes they're too quick to stop. So do desensitization exercises with your dog by touching or very gently pulling ears and tail, and then praising him. (Robinson says she doesn't use food rewards for this, so that the dog doesn't see children as a possible source of treats if they touch him in those spots.) ?Aside from watching out for your dog's comfort level, you may want to be prepared to gently educate. When explaining to children how to approach a dog, see it from their point of view. "How would you like some strange person to run up to you, squeal, grab your face and give you a big kiss? They get that, they understand that when you put it in those terms," says Robinson. ?If you have to say no because your dog's showing a stress-related behavior, take the opportunity to point it out. And on both sides, try to understand that it's not a judgment on the child or on the dog if this just isn't the right moment. "If the owner says no, that's no reflection on the child's behavior," says Pelar. "That person is not saying that you're not kind to dogs. They're saying that my dog's not comfortable. And that's OK."

Tina Guide Dogs for the Blind and HumanWare launch new education initiative with Victor Reader Stream Longueuil, Quebec (June 25, 2008) -- Guide Dogs for the Blind and HumanWare are pleased to announce the Victor Reader Stream will become an integral part of the curriculum at Guide Dogs for the Blind in the early fall of 2008. The Victor Reader Stream players will allow students attending Guide Dogs for the Blind to read and navigate through class materials, providing them with unprecedented access to materials on campus and beyond. "All information will be in the DAISY format (digital accessible information system) which can be read by the Victor Reader Stream," says Michael Hingson, president of The Michael Hingson Group, technical consultant for the new program. "When played on the Victor Reader Stream, the recorded data can be navigated much like a print book, allowing the reader to move from chapter to chapter, section to section or jump directly to any page." Over the past three years Guide Dogs for the Blind has been conducting a total make over of their training program, especially concerning how information is presented to their students. Now with the addition of the Victor Reader Stream students will have all needed documentation available at their finger tips at any time. "The Victor Reader Stream offers blind people an enhanced reading experience and we are excited to see it used in a true educational way at Guide Dogs for the Blind," says Gerry Chevalier, Victor Reader Product Manager at HumanWare. "This is the first time we have seen the Stream be fully integrated into any educational environment.-" The Victor Reader Stream which normally sells to blind users for approximately $330 will be available to Guide Dogs students for $150 to take home following class. All general take home materials from GDB, including all state access legislation concerning guide dogs, information about traveling internationally with guide dogs such as access rules and regulations from many countries will be contained on the Victor Reader Stream.

Tina Guide Dogs for the Blind and HumanWare launch new education initiative with Victor Reader Stream Longueuil, Quebec (June 25, 2008) -- Guide Dogs for the Blind and HumanWare are pleased to announce the Victor Reader Stream will become an integral part of the curriculum at Guide Dogs for the Blind in the early fall of 2008. The Victor Reader Stream players will allow students attending Guide Dogs for the Blind to read and navigate through class materials, providing them with unprecedented access to materials on campus and beyond. "All information will be in the DAISY format (digital accessible information system) which can be read by the Victor Reader Stream," says Michael Hingson, president of The Michael Hingson Group, technical consultant for the new program. "When played on the Victor Reader Stream, the recorded data can be navigated much like a print book, allowing the reader to move from chapter to chapter, section to section or jump directly to any page." Over the past three years Guide Dogs for the Blind has been conducting a total make over of their training program, especially concerning how information is presented to their students. Now with the addition of the Victor Reader Stream students will have all needed documentation available at their finger tips at any time. "The Victor Reader Stream offers blind people an enhanced reading experience and we are excited to see it used in a true educational way at Guide Dogs for the Blind," says Gerry Chevalier, Victor Reader Product Manager at HumanWare. "This is the first time we have seen the Stream be fully integrated into any educational environment." The Victor Reader Stream which normally sells to blind users for approximately $330 will be available to Guide Dogs students for $150 to take home following class. All general take home materials from GDB, including all state access legislation concerning guide dogs, information about traveling internationally with guide dogs such as access rules and regulations from many countries will be contained on the Victor Reader Stream.

This survey has been created, tested and approved by handlers, veterinarians, scientists and reputable training programs and will, as a result of your participation, go far in helping to direct valuable research efforts which will lead to better canine health in our guide dogs. Read on, and then please do take the time to complete this important guide dog health survey. Thank you Dear Guide Dog Handler: Morris Animal Foundation, the world's largest nonprofit foundation dedicated to funding research studies to protect treat and cure animals, has received a grant from the Laura J. Niles Foundation to address health and injury issues that may lead to early retirement of a guide dog team or prevent the team from optimally performing. We are requesting your help by asking you to complete an on-line survey. The goal of the survey is to provide a statistical snapshot by breed, sex and age of types of health conditions and injuries that affect working guide dogs. INDIVIDUAL AND SCHOOL IDENTITIES WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS. The results of the survey will be used by the foundation to prioritize research funding for advancing guide dog health. Morris Animal Foundation will be calling for proposals from scientists worldwide to address one or more health or injury issues of high significance. We anticipate that submission of proposals, review by scientific advisors and contracting of the successful grant will be completed by the end of this calendar year. One hundred percent of the grant will be awarded to the successful investigative team. Based on matching funds, we anticipate awarding $100,000/year for three years. An accessible version of the survey will be available online at HYPERLINK "http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=RiNJEVZAjSvFT7J_2fFIxTGw_3d_3d."http: //www.surveymo-nkey.com/-s.aspx?sm=-RiNJEVZAjSvFT7J_-2fFIxTGw_-3d_3d. from July 14 to August 14. This comprehensive survey has been designed to be as complete as possible for the purpose of collecting all the information necessary to identify which health issues to fund and study. Although it may take longer than 30 minutes to complete, your careful responses are the first important step in the process of researching how to more successfully breed and maintain healthier guide dogs with longer working lives.

Last Monday, I pulled my triceps muscle in my right arm, and have been given instructions not to do anything more than to lift a glass of water with that arm. As some of you may know, I was in an accident thirty years ago in which my right side was crushed, so there is muscle atrophy all along that side. The pain is terrible, and I feel in very low spirits. I know this will get better in a few weeks what with physical therapy twice a week. Hold a good thought for me because the pain is so severe that I can't hold anything down sometimes. Yesterday was my first treatment and I couldn't sleep all night. If anybody knows some exercises that might be helpful, please let me know. Thanks.

Some of us have been working really hard! But, some of us have not. I sent out calling lists to many of you, and I have not received a respond as to whether the contacts were made or not. Please, I need to know if you are going to call your list, or follow through with whatever your job was. There is still time for me to delegated to someone else. I am taking the list, checking it twice, and coming after you. Just kidding, but please lets all help to educate everyone about blindness and guide dogs. Therefore: pass out the flyer, post it everywhere! Call your friends, do your calls, and make it happen for our precious guides! I also, want to thank all the CAGDU ERS that have been helping. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Keep it up! love, Juliet -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I sent a message to a discussion board my class was having and one of the women gave me a very good suggestion I thought I'd pass along to the group. She said: find out if any of the guide dog users shops regularly at a specific store where they are known. She felt that store would most likely become a regular donor if they realized it was only a few cases of treats or small items. Even the bigger chains like petco and petsmart or even Albertsons sometimes it's easier to get a donation on the local level than it is to try to go to the top and work your way down. When I read her suggestion I was thinking that would be kind of like white cane charters. Once the people know the local person they feel like they are helping the customer and his/her dog personally so they make it a yearly donation and if we got a couple stores involved we would have more donations than we could use. Also when you get local merchants involved, you might get local speakers and they might as the taxi cab companies have done decide to donate cash when they recognize how we are helping the community. I am continuing to work with Purina to see if we can get them to sponsor us again. Mike Peterson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
