Dog Training: Five Easy Tips for Children
January 11, 2009 by Donald Bulger · Comments Off
Isn’t it amazing to witness the maturation of children? From their first steps to opening those child-safe locks their accomplishments surprise us. So, it shouldn’t shock you to learn that it’s often easier for a child to train a dog than it is for most adults. Why is this?
Children have patience. And, they think pet training fun. Dogs usually respond to even the playful commands of a child, but stricter commands are even more successful.
Dogs have the skills to comprehend signals and voice commands. These unique abilities should be maximized and utilized accordingly by using the hand, voice, and body when training them. The following tips are helpful for children who aspire to train their dogs:
1. Use Visual Signals: Dogs are known to respond to deep voices, so children may have a problem when trying to control them with only voice commands. It’s important to Use hand signals in addition to voice commands to control your dog.
2. Keep training session under 15 minutes: Dogs can get bored and lose interest after 15 minutes of training (just like a child!), so it is better to keep the sessions shorter to maintain their attention.
3. Be Firm with the Dog: Dogs will submit to children if are consistently firm.
4. Use Only One Command at a Time: Once you have their attention, use hand gestures and spoken commands but only one at a time. For example, if teaching a dog to sit your son or daughter should say, “sit!” while at the same time using the hand to gesture the command. Your child’s voice should be firm and your gesture should be coordinated with it.
5. Shower Your Dog With Love and Praise: When a dog follows commands, your child should you praise and pet him. A dog treat will make him enthusiastic about training, but be sparing with the treats or the dog will only respond when he expects a reward.
Having your child train your dog will be a great experience for both.
Poems I wrote sometime after 1995

POEMS I WROTE SOMETIME AFTER 1995
I have been asked recently if I have ever written any Poetry . I had said No at first. Then I remembered that some time back after 1995 after a break up with a Girl that I had lived with for a while. (Probably the only real relationship of my life, So Far) I wrote what I would call “two poems”!
The first I wrote right after the break up. I guess I was at the point I was just trying show I was a hardcore man and the break up did not effect me. So I was trying to be funny about the whole thing.
The second I wrote years later after my Dog “Mutely Junior” was killed. Juniors Mother had been the Girl I had lived withs Dog named “Riff Raff”, and his Father was named “Mutely” He had been my Fathers dog . When me and the girl broke up, Junior was still only a puppy about six months old and he was by my side the whole time. He was like my Son. The girl I had dated had kids that I helped take care of while I lived there and I do not think it could have been much harder leaving the kids had they been my own flesh and blood.
I do not fall in love easy and my life has always been about being a Biker and I have often said the last thing I want to do is anything like getting married and having kids. I have always said I want something more from life. So I found it very odd and disconcerting that I found myself so happy living with this Girl playing the roll of Father to her kids ! I guess what we tell ourselves we want and what you really want can be two totally different things! I was young then and as I look back now I can remember I did not keep it much of a secret that I wanted more from life and I can only assume that was a big part of why we broke up.
After the Break up I lived in a Cabin in the woods in upstate NY in a small town for about 4 years. Junior was almost always by my side and he and I enjoyed many adventures during that time. As much as I loved my life in the Cabin. I once again found myself wanting more from life. So I moved to Long Island NY. I was getting myself set up in yet another new life. During this time while I got my new life in order, I had left Junior with my Father to be take care of . One night my Father let him out and Junior ran off . A few days later Junior was found by the Train tracks. He had been hit by a Train and was dead. It was no ones fault. Junior had always loved fast to run threw the woods. It was part of who he was. When I heard about Juniors death I wrote the Second poem. Junior was the last part of what I often think of as a different life I once lived. With Junior gone it was at that point that I truly felt the break up.
These Poems are not of me now but of a Me I once was or maybe a Me I could have been. I believe I have now found my place in the world and I am almost positive I am happy. So I will post these poems for you all to read! Some may say these poems will make me look weak. To them I say always remember looks can be deceiving !!!
I hope you enjoy the poems. LJ James

Sweet Heart I’m starting to get the feeling you don’t Love Me !!!! By L.J. James
———————————————————– Home or Lost
I stand here alone thinking of a place gone Past. Never thinking that I have been away so long.
Its a strange feeling to know your home is no longer yours but now some others.
I can’t go back, but I still wonder if I would.
I was always cold on that hill but my heart was warm.
My Dog was born there but now he too is gone Killed in the Night by a train going some where I have never been.
My heart got broke but I did not cry.
I though I was happy before I really was. Now I wonder can I be again.
My heart calls out for me to follow the sun. But I don’t remember where it is that I was going before I stopped here
Am I happy here, I think so but I’ve been wrong before! By L.J. James AmericanBikerX.com
