A gentleman sent me an e-mail. the other ° day and wanted to

know what was the best way to discipline a dog.

He gave me a few sce- narios, then wanted, from whar | could decipher, a : quick and simple answer.

I scratched my head ° upon reading this letter and - tried to read between the lines for a deeper meaning to the question.

After all of my pondering I came to the realization that this gentleman’s ques-. tions should not have been “How should I discipline

-my. dog?” but rather, *Hov ~ canl show my dog better

leadership ‘so it will want t; °, ; behave more appropriately?”

‘ Having said shis, I wan to clarify ‘that I am not :/; _ opposed to discipline when

_teaching a dog. A dog, like ©

a child, must be able to S, understand the concert of

. “No.” .

‘What Dam concerned | about is the style of idisci--

‘Pline used.

There was a tim? when dogs wire viewed 48 proper. ty (in some cases ‘they still are).

Mainstream thinking held the attitudé thar one \* had to use physical force to: train or break f dog into -

_ doing wiat yeu asked of it.

Physical force: such as hit- ting, choking! and throwing : hard objects, like a set of keys were used “to get throngh 4 to ‘a dog.”

i you want your children to be healthy, protect them from disease. Immunization can keep. them safe from

many si serious illnesses.

But remember:

Children’ need to complete their full schedule of.

hots to be protected.

So boost their chances for health.’ ‘Wnmunize your children. On time, every time. .

if you have questions about shots or. immunization - ; schedules, coract t your. doctor or public health unit.
