But Who's in Control?

Be They large or Small, a Humble Mongrel or the
Finest Pedigree, We Love Them All

But Hey, Who Really is in Control,
You or Your Dog?

Fellow dog-lovers,

ANY PROBLEMS WITH YOUR DOG?

Tell Me Honestly, Your Dog Doesn't Do Any of These:

Pull on the leash
Pee on the kitchen floor
Bark all the time in the garden at neighbours, birds, anything that
moves
Show any road sense
Chase other dogs or animals
Growl or bare their teeth unless sensing danger
Chew chair legs when bored
Bark when left alone in the house
Disobey you when they feel like it
Show aggression towards people
Dig holes in the garden
Steal food from the table

You Don't Have a Problem?
We Didn't Think We Did Either
Let Me Tell You a True Story

We have owned a number of dogs over the years mostly mid-sized to
large breeds, Labradors to Irish Wolfhounds.

The Labradors were mostly ok, fun-loving and happy, a little
wayward at times, but relatively easy to cope with given duidance and
kindly discipline. Maybe we were just lucky, and do I know people who
haven't been so lucky!

Wolfhounds as a breed are even-tempered, patient, loyal and
fearless, they may seem aloof and indifferent at times, but they love
being with people, but because of their size and power they need firm
but kind control. That is not to say only big powerful dogs need
"educating", but all dogs do if we are to live in harmony.

history of the dog pic3

We were in business when we bought our first Wolfhound. One of
our employees was a teenager, he had been raised on a farm so was
familiar with animals. He loved all animals and was very taken with the
dog and he insisted on taking him for a walk, which he did daily, rain
or shine.

The business we ran was in town, a short walk from the beach, but
the roads between were very busy with traffic. Every day Fred would
walk the dog to the beach and let him off the leash to exercise.

One day Fred came back without the dog. The dog would have been
about two years old by this time, just approaching his full size and
maturity. Between floods of tears Fred explained he had taken the dog
to the beach and let him off the leash, but when it was time to come
back the dog refused to come to him. Of course this ended up with Fred
chasing the dog all over the beach, hilarious for everyone watching,
exhausting for Fred, great fun for the dog.

Fred didn't know what to do so he set off back to tell us the
tale. The dog followed him back, but on the other side of the road
about 100 yards behind. Imagine the scene, a distressed Fred on one
side of the road and a hairy dog the size of a pony on the other. The
dog taking his time enjoying his freedom. All this to the amusement of
a captivated audience of bemused shoppers. About 30 minutes after Fred
returned the dog trotted in nonchalantly, a picture of wide-eyed
innocence, couldn't understand what all the fuss was about and appeared
to have a huge grin on his face.

On another occasion the dog managed to get out of the gate. The
local milkman, a man of irrepressible good humor and cheer, was making
his rounds and had just left his vehicle to make some deliveries when
the dog jumped into the cab and began to eat the milkman's sandwiches.
The dog was happily munching away totally immersed in his pleasure, one
of his highest priorities was food and he was not to be distracted. The
milkman, on the other hand, couldn't bring himself to share the dog's
enjoyment and was torn between anger and caution, shaking his head in
disbelief, venting his anger with some well-chosen phrases and
eventually shrugging his shoulders in defeat. The dog was totally
immune to the milkman's protestations and ignored him completely, he
wasn't to be moved until he had finished his breakfast. On completion
of his snack the dog nuzzled the man by way of thanks and whent on his
way. The milkman decided it would be the last time he left his
sandwiches lying about.

Another time the dog managed to visit the local supermarket which
was about 200 yards away. Maybe he realized supermarkets stocked food
and after his experience with the milkman decided this was a good
alternative source of snacks. The sight of a big hairy dog standing 40
inches at the shoulder wandering about had the effect of causing some
hysteria among the shoppers. However, little old ladies and children
were not tobe intimidated, he actually stood taller than some of the
children, they thought it was hysterical, but in a different way to
many of the shoppers and a welcome alternative to the boredom of
shopping. The old ladies and children made an enormous fuss of him and
he basked in the adulation. The supermarket tracked us down and we
collected the dog leaving an adoring, if small, band of fans waving us
off.

We began to realize this situation could not continue because our
dog was clearly of the opinion he could do as he pleased and make his
own rules, he was boss dog and people were there for his amusement and
entertainment. He was an excellent guard dog, which made up for some of
his shortcomings. On occasion when my wife had to lock up the business
on her own, particularly in the winter when it was dark, he would emit
a low menacing growl if a stranger came too close to her, needless to
say no one was willing to push their luck.

After the incidents I have mentioned the dog was obviously of the
opinion he was in charge and was the pack leader. This came to a head
eventually, bearing in mind the dog had never been confronted before as
we had always put his behavior down to being a bit willful and naughty
in an adolescent way, which he would grow out of with guidance. One day
when we were in the car, which was a large estate so he had plenty of
room to move about in the back. However, if th dog stood up it was
impossible to see out of the back window and normally if he was told to
sit he did so immediately, however, on this occasion he would not obey
and continued to be disobedient, his bravado was becoming more
pronounced. I stopped when it was safe to do so, got out and lifted the
tailgate, I was met by a full set of teeth and a menacing growl. Let me
tell you this coming from a 150 pound muscular dog can be frightening,
we had a short confrontation and order was restored for the moment. I
couldn't vouch for the dog, but I can tell you at the time I was
decidedly queasy.

We had to tackle this problem head on before it got out of hand.
Within a short prtiod of time, with encouragement, perseverence and a
firm resolution the dog was made to understand who was the boss, the
leader of the pack, and it wasn't him. Once the pecking order was
established the problem was resolved and life with our dog was happily
back to normal.

What You Ought to Know About
Your Dog

Your dog is important to you, you don't have to have a dog, you
have one because you want one. However, if you do have a dog you have a
responsibility and a commitment.

You have to make sure your dog is well fed, well looked after,
treated with care and consideration, exercised, groomed, in short your
dog is part of your life.

Above all you must understand your dog. Your dog lives, it
breathes, it feels pain and discomfort. On the other hand your dog can
be spoilt, given the wrong food, in fact given food or treats which
could endanger life, not given enough exercise, not shown right from
wrong. You cannot expect your dog to understand you.

Your dog does not have intelligence as humans do, it cannot carry
out complicated tasks, it has no form of reasoning, it cannot speak. It
is, therefore, impossible for the dog to put itself in your position,
you must put yourself in the position of the dog.

To understand the dog it is useful, if not essential, to know
something of its history. The history of the dog goes back many
thousands of years as is explained in the book "The Story of the Dog",
but for now let's concentrate on its nearest living relative.

history of the dog pic4 The Wolf

The Wolf is a superb killing machine, it has aggression, strength,
cunning and courage. Your dog shares 97% of its dna with the wolf. The
Gray Wolf, Canis Lupus, to be precise. Do not underestimate your dog's
capabilities.

This will Shock You , , ,

There is a Solution!!!

It's easy, it's not time consuming and
it can be enjoyable for your Dog
and Yourself

The book "The History of the Dog" shows how the dog evolved from
early carnivores to its present form. This will explain why the dog,
which has been domesticated for such a short time, can be
unpredictable..

A puppy or even an older untrained dog has to be taught, just
like a child. It has to be taught right from wrong, but unlike a child
it has no ability to reason or work situations out for itself. It must
be trained because an untrained dog can easily fall back on the
instincts it inherits from its nearest relative. The Wolf.

If a dog misbehaves it is rarely the dogs' fault, almost without
exception it is the fault of the owner. Training can be a pleasure for
the dog and the owner, it is a matter of showing affection, respect and
a sense of direction and done properly the dog will respond willingly.
This being the case training will not take long as the dog will want to
please you and accept your praise and the odd titbit as its reward.

The dog is a pack animal and it will follow a leader, but if
there is no leader it will take on that role. This behavior is
instinctive and is inherited from its ancestor, the wolf.

There is only one pack leader and it MUST be you

If Your dog is well treated, has a good diet, receives regular
exercise and is not ill, but still aggressive or unresponsive, either
it or you, or both of you need training.

There are literally thousands of books and videos on dog
training, but if your dog has an attitude problem you need a trainer
who is familiar with the psychology of the dog. These are rare, but
they can be found on the internet. Some of these trainers run courses
where you can participate. This type of training is not cheap, but what
price peace of mind?

Here are some testimonials providrd by two trainers who
understand the psychology of the dog, they are not merely obedience
trainers.

"My Golden Retriever puppy was pretty rambunctious, nipping and
destructive until I let him know who was boss. All the obnoxious
behavior stopped immediately."

"My dog, Lex, is a large German Shepherd, he was becoming wild
and I could not take him for a proper walk. He is now a well-behaved
and joyful dog."

"My 105 pound Newfoundland would steal food from the dinner table
then viciously snarl and bite if I tried to take it away. My dog will
now let me roll him on his side and take food out of his mouth."

"We adopted a one year old Pug/Chihuahua mix from a shelter 3
months ago. To put it mildly he was twenty pounds of terror,
dominating, chewing, nipping and also had separation problems. The dog
has become confident and less anxious and continues to improve. The dog
is much happier knowing we are the pack leaders."

"Our two year old German Shepherd came to us from a woman who
could not cope with him. He was boisterious, aggressive, skittish and
unresponsive. We have taken him from the most difficult messed up dog
to a great member of our family."

Any dog can be trained easily and quickly using the correct
method. In nearly every testimonial on any professional dog training
site the phrase "you must be the pack leader" is mentioned time and
time again.

Train your dog, particularly if there is any sign of
aggression or unresponsive behavior

Your dog could be as happy and contented as these
with help

You must understand your dog, you owe it to yourself and
others, not to mention your dog. There is a Latin phrase scientia
potentia est "knowledge is power". This phrase is attributed to Sir
Francis Bacon, an English philosopher, 1561-1626.

How true this phrase is, the book "The Story of the Dog" gives
you the knowledge to understand your dog's genealogy. To show how the
dog developed, to highlight its ancestors and to assess the stage it
has reached today

The book has been produced to give an insight into the way a dog
thinks and to give you a clearer understanding of the measures you must
take to ensure a harmonious relationship, and why.

There are also references to the myths and legends of both the
wolf and the dog to show how they were perceived by ancient
civilizations.

Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
