transporting dogs
Hello all~
I am helping get some dogs from another state to PA this weekend. They are rescue dogs and going to a shelter. In the past I wanted to do this, but it never worked out with my schedule or my location. Anything I need to know about helping transport dogs that I might not think of or be told? Thanks! ~~~~~ Jenny, Maui and Cali |

Is the dog comfortable being contained in a vehicle? If you have to pee/poo him or clean the crate, do you have a plan for getting him leashed at a rest stop next to a busy highway? Take spare crate blankets, a couple of rolls of paper towel, soap, and garbage bags. Sometimes slip leads are easier to "lasso" a confined dog than clipping a leash to its collar, especially if the dog is agitated. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Make sure you find out when the dogs last did their business, and just to be sure, try to get them to do it themselves. You don't want to know what time I didn't do that. Check all the paperwork that is coming with the dog to be sure that it is in order, and everything that is supposed to be there is there. Extras never hurt - water, bowls, blankets, towels, disinfectant wipes, slip leads, etc. Suja |

Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2001 Subject: shock collars Sally Hennessey wrote in message ... Aside from being incredibly offensive and self- righteous, this post shows and absence of knowledge in the differences in dogs' temperaments, or perhaps a lack of ability to perceive same. The fact that you, Alison, have never met a dog to whom corrections and discomfort, even pain, were unimportant does not mean that such dogs do not exist. What it means is that you don't know as much about dogs as you think you do, and you surely don't know a **** thing about Harlan or anyone else's dog here. I had a Dalmatian that would instigate fights with one of her housemates; that dog had no fear or anything, and pain incurred during a fight meant nothing to her. I know that that dog is not unique, and I'm sure many people here can tell similar stories. The fact that you, Alison, continue to say things to people such as what you said to Theresa about causing her dog to suffer (at least I guess that's what you meant by "you cause your dog suffers" - - must be the King's English you guys talk about over there) means that you are an ignorant, arrogant, insensitive person who is not worth further notice.

I would never do or recommend that, and neither would most of the regulars on here. Sally Hennessey I've posted my entire quote, since Patch failed to do so. Take it out of context and you'd think I was flinging puppies across the room! here's what I said (keep in mind that we're talking about a 12 week old ~25# FCR puppy): A small scruff shake is appropriate if he's very persistant. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Um, may I suggest a re-wording that might make it clearer- given that "scruff shake" is too easily misinterpreted as "pick the puppy up by the scruff of the neck and shake the puppy in the air"? I think I'd phrase it something like "if the puppy is very persistant, it can be appropriate to take hold of the loose skin at the back of the neck and give a slight shake to the *skin*". Janet's not talking about actually shaking the puppy, which I think we ALL agree is abusive." ---------------------- BWEEEAAAHAAAAHAAA~!~!~!

This was fairly new electric fencing, the shock was mild, said husky touched it any number of times, and I can guarandamntee you it didn't do anything horrible to her body or her mind. If I live to be 100, I will never understand the mentality of people who have no knowledge of a subject but still feel free, apparently compelled even, to opine on that subject.

It must be a pretty fun game, as both Jerry and Mikey devote a lot of time to it, especially when one considers what busy people they are. Bark collars are supposed to work pretty well and a good one runs less han $100.00. He ought to just try one and see if it works. He won't be out much. shrugs There is some controversy about the humane-ness of citronella collars because dogs' noses are so sensitive. I've tried citronella collars on our kenneled adoption dogs, and they didn't appear to be able to figure out the connection between their noise and the squirt. Or keep the dog inside..... Now that's a pretty foolproof method of dealing with problematic outdoor barking. Mustang Sally From: sighthounds etc. Date: Fri, 06 Dec 2002 Subject: BTW, Who am I I don't know that Sibes generally go home on their own; many don't, or they wouldn't end up in shelters. I don't know if it's coincidence that one of our permanent Sibes did this and one of our fosters did too. But I think Siberians *can* find their way home, at least based on my experience, where Greyhounds apparently usually can't. I don't know why Greyhounds can't; I guess it doesn't occur to them to use their noses to sniff their way back home. Of course, Greyhounds often are several miles away from home by the time they stop and consider what they're doing. In our case, it took our Siberian to find our Greyhound. doG knows what would have happened to Matty if not for Tasha, since he wouldn't come to us. Guess we would have had to try darting him. Invisible fences should not be used (except as reinforcerment for normal-height fences ) with northern breeds and sighthounds, period. Sally Hennessey From: sighthounds & siberians Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2005 Subject: Seiure land OK, living in this house is an epileptic Greyhound that hasn't had a seizure in 3 years, and epileptic IG that has a seizure (sometimes GM, but inconsistent) every couple of months or so, a non-epileptic Siberian that has a GM seizure every year or so, and a very badly bred Miniature Dachshund that has atypical apparent seizure activity at irregular intervals (but once on the same day the IG had one). So half an hour ago, I hear strange cat howling noises from the kitchen, and upon investigating, there's Dolce having a tonic seizure on the kitchen table. It must be the house. Mustang Sally From: sighthounds & siberians Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 Subject: Bullmastiff bullies my Staffordshire Bull Terrier That is just *exactly* what I was going to say. I had one aggressive female (Dal) and a dominant female that would die before she'd back down (Sibe). We tried just about everything, and had we kept them both, I am convinced that one would have killed the other. These were fights that caused injuries every time. Mustang Sally From: sighthounds & siberians Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 Subject: Mojo,Luke and Taffy update If we had known that the vet was going to treat it as MMM regardless of the biopsy results, we'd never have put Tasha through that. Specialists are great and all that, but I think he did a lot of tests just because he could. That internist is gone from our vet's practice now, and at first I was sorry, but now I'm not so sure. Yesterday I took Abby the kitty in because I thought she might be hyperthyroid. She isn't, but she probably has IBD. I asked the vet how they'd treat it, and he said that if the specialist were there he'd scope her and then they'd treat with prednisone. Since the specialist isn't there, he's going to treat with prednisone because she has the symptoms (she's also 15, and I wouldn't want to put her through endoscopy). From: sighthounds & siberians Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2005 Subject: Fear aggression While most of my dogs are well-behaved when left alone unconfined, my Whippets are not, and it is simply not possible to sufficiently proof' my home from dogs that can jump baby gates and get onto tables and counters when no one is home. No, of course they don't do that when we're home, but they sure do when we're gone. They aren't really destructive, though my female that enjoys chewing up plastic, but they're very food oriented, and their definition of food differs from ours, so they're crated for their own protection. I've found crate training to be very useful when a dog is ill or injured and needs to be confined for medical purposes; and this happens more often than you might think. I hate to spoil the image of cruel Americans locking up their dogs in boxes all day, but, well, it's BS, so there you go. To the OP: it's very difficult to say what's going on with your dog without observing him. I've had several very fearful dogs, one of which had some minor fear aggression when she felt absolutely trapped, but this resolved on its own as she became more confident. If there are specific things which trigger Sunny's fear aggression, you could work on desensitizing her to those things, but in general, I think you need either a behaviorist or a very good trainer who deals with aggression problems.

From: sighthounds & siberians Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 Subject: New dog, need reassurance The owner is the critical thing though - - you set the rules, you decide what's acceptable, your attitude conveys that to your dogs. We currently have two males that really don't get along. To minimize stress for animals and humans, they are kept separate. No amount of training or alpha attitude is going to change how they feel about each other, but they won't go after each other if DH or I is/am present. They will we're not around, though. Mustang Sally "After Numerous Training Classes, Behavioral Consultations, And Hundreds Of Dollars In Vet Bills, I Killed My Dalmatian Several Years Ago Due To Extreme Dog-Aggressiveness." From: greyhound Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2004 Subject: your dog's breed I don't know about yours, but all the Siberianswe've had maintain some degree of aloofness. They're affectionate, sleep on the bed and all that, but they're always independent. When a Sibe gets clingy, it's a good indication that something's wrong. As ours age, though, they become a bit less independent. A couple of weeks ago, Tasha, who was on the bed, crawled over and curled up right next to me, almost on top of me, and cuddled. She was trembling a bit, and I thought she might be about to have another seizure, but the moment passed. I imagined calling the vet: "I need to bring Tasha in because she's cuddling." How bittersweet that you and Duncan bonded more toward the end of his life than in the years before. He always knew who he loved and trusted, and when he felt himself failing, you're what he wanted. Hope you're feeling better. Mustang Sally From: sighthounds & siberians Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 10:54:26 -0500 Subject: Injured By Dogs???? There are some dogs that will never bite a human under any circumstances, and some that will bite a human when in pain. Tasha is apparently one of the latter - - she bit my hand when I closed her paw in a baby gate - - and I don't think any less of her because of it, nor do I consider it a reflection on her training. The incident showed us that that type of baby gate wasn't the best design for use with dogs, and we got rid of it.

From: sighthounds & siberians Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2005 Subject: Dog fight, dog bite, aaaiiiieeeeee Heh. Probably confuses the dogs, too. I'll have to keep that in mind if I have to break up a fight again. Keeping calm is always recommended, but usually harder than actually breaking up the fight. The fights we've had in the last few years are nothing compared to the ones between the Sibe and Dal (one of the worst things about their fights was that once you separated them, you had to hold onto them and be *very*careful, because if they got half a chance, they'd go after each other again. The Dal always started it, but Tasha, as you might guess, never backed down. Anyway, it's easier to stay calm now because I know the dogs don't have death as a goal, as they seemed to. Staying calm also has a lot to do with the dogs' behavior when you try to break up the fight.

From: sighthounds & siberians Date: Tue, 08 Feb 2005 Subject: my brother's dog Assuming you could have found someone who knew what they were doing. When the problems with Justy and Tasha started, we contacted everyone we could think of, including the Dal rescue people and trainers. There weren't any behaviorists around, but someone, I don't remember who, referred us to one in another state who did phone consultations! Of course, that was of limited value. In retrospect, I still think that situation was unsalvageable. But we sure learned a lot about multi-dog interactions, dog aggression and managing less severe fighting situations. It was months before hearing a dog growl didn't make my heartbeat race.

From: sighthounds & siberians Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2005 Subject: Introducing New Dog to Household Cats but I'm inclined to believe that the "Wits' End Dog Training Manual" did have something to do with it, too. :-) which exercises did you find most helpful? You know, what I found as most helpful were the magic words "Good boy, Clyde" and "Good girl, Bonnie". The dogs do ANYTHING if I just utter these words. I suspect that they are secretly reading Jerry's posts to rpdb. g for me, it was the best thing that I could wish for - no violence at all, i've been playing at training my own dogs since i was 3-4 years old (probably longer, but my memory has its limits). in any event, it was long before i'd ever heard of Mr. Howe. somehow, without the benefit of Mr. Howe's "superior" methods, i managed not to treat any of my dogs violently. very easy to apply, and best of all, always gives wonderful results. that's untrue. one of his favorite methods (using a shake can as positive punishment) does not work with either of my dogs. one ignores it (he's not bothered by loud, sudden noises) and the other loses all control of her bowels and bladder when startled by sudden noises/movement. so, like most training tools, the shake can may vary from benignly ineffective to downright abusive, depending on the situation. This is nothing at all like what Jerry says. Really, shelly, why not READ the manual? I've read the thing (I refuse to call it a manual), and I can tell you, based on experience with high prey breeds, that "good boy" and "good girl" are not particularly useful when redirecting high prey drive.

I hope I am not too late with my tip you may already be on the road. I am sure you have made every attempt to be sure they do not become seperated from you and the vehichle before arriving. However in the unlikely event that happens it would be a good idea to have some form of ID affixed to their collar. I know they are going to a shelter and I know it is a last minute idea but maybe you could come up with some temporary form of ID information to affix to their collars. Happy trails. I hope you have a safe trip and that the dogs you deliver find a happy home. Be Free.....Judy |

Hello all~
Thanks to everyone who gave me the great tips and advice. I was looking forward to helping transport the dogs tomorrow but got an email a few minutes ago that they are going to a different rescue so I won't be needed this time. I will be using these tips in the future though when the opportunity arises so will keep them saved. ~~~~~ Jenny, Maui and Cali Hello all~ I am helping get some dogs from another state to PA this weekend.

My dogs have clip on water buckets in their car crates, but they are kept empty while we're in motion. Paper towels, paper towels, paper towels, febreeze, flea spray to spray your car with post-transport. A tarp or rubber tray to go under the crates. I like slip leads as well, but make sure you're comfortable handling strange dogs. You need to get a leash on completely before the step foot out of their crate, which means reaching in. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

Sure. I agree with you. Fixed bowls in the crate are handy for when you stop and you are not able to let the dog out for any reason or open his crate and she needs a drink. Alison |
