Default 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!

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.

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.

It probably wouldn't hurt, and a dose of reality

succeeded in pulling the APL out of financial ruin,
and very soon now we'll be able to turn our attention
to making improvements in our shelter, increasing
adoptions, etc. We are in the largest county in our
state, and it's also one of the poorest. We take in
around 3,000 animals a year and euthanize two-
thirds of them.

Nope. No lie. Two thirds=66%. Actually, closer
to 67%. IS that really what "rescue" means, Sally?
Killing 2 out of every 3 dogs one "rescues"?

Geeez!

Does that matter to you at all, or is it OK for Jerry
to make up whatever **** he wants to 'support' his

What exactly was "made up" by Jerry, then?

The part about your "mental illness"? Why, you
call him "lunatic", so you're both even on that.

Though I still can't help wondering how "sane"
someone who loves dogs can be when running
a shelter that puts down two thirds of the dogs
it "rescues".

anyone personally. Everything seems to be a compensatable (not

physically disabled or mentally ill, what's 'normal'?

Terrible parents, painful childhoods, physical illnesses,
psychological problems, etc. are all part of who a person is,
and therefore how s/he sees the world and interacts in it. But
life isn't about who you are and what you've got, it's what
you do with it.

For me anyway, the more I think of myself as

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

I've posted my entire quote, since Patch failed

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

They can be difficult to recognize when they pretend to be someone

Bark collars are supposed to work pretty well and a good

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.

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.

OK, living in this house is an epileptic Greyhound that hasn't had a

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.

That is just *exactly* what I was going to say. I had one aggressive

both, I am convinced that one would have killed the other. These were

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Assuming you could have found someone who knew what

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.

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.

That is a generous deed. 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.

large enough for the dogs
Potty breaks are a big risk so be extra careful when you take the dos in
and out of the crates.
Well done for doing this and good luck.

Default transporting dogs

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.

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!

I don't agree with this. Watering dogs at potty stops is perfectly
adequate and will keep your car cleaner and drier. 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.

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.
