Johannes Grewe might be found at the Keene Cafe any day. He's a regular there and they know his name. Mention his name at police K-9 units across the country and they know him as well. 'It's a small world,' said Grewe. Grewe, a Hart Flat resident, describes his beginnings in the field in a modest way. 'I got a puppy, I got involved, I met people who trained dogs and I became a K-9 officer,' said Grewe. It sounds simple enough, but that does not begin to tell the story.

Dog Training and Classical Conditioning - To understand how classical conditioning works in dog training, you are going to do a simple dog training exercise. You are not going to teach any practical skill to your dog but this is a very important exercise to understand the first step in dog training: classical conditioning. Therefore, this exercise is more useful to you than your dog. Take in account that you can't carry out this exercise if your dog is not able to eat solid food (for instance, very young puppies or dogs which must be in a special diet because of health problems). You need 15 to 20 food treats for your dog. These treats could be any healthy food that your dog enjoys, such as sliced hot-dogs, chicken chunks, dog food pellets, freeze dried liver, etc. Food treats must be of about the size of a navy bean (this is very important). Your dog must be off-leash, so you must find a fenced place to carry out the classical conditioning exercise. It must be a place your dog is familiar with, and there should be no distractions. In other words, you, your dog and the food treats must be alone in that place.

How To Prevent Dangerous Canine Ear Infections - Keeping your dog's ears clean is a very important part of having a healthy pet. You should give your dog regular inspections at least once a week. These inspections should continue until your next veterinary visit. It is important to keep your dog's ears healthy and pain-free, as they are very sensitive part of their body. Be sure to watch out for excessive wax, foul odor, redness, scratching or matting of the hair. If your dog is constantly rubbing the ears against other objects or shaking their head, these can be signs of ear problems.
