It was so nice to go somewhere that we didn't run into anyone, we were able to rest and let our dogs run as much as they wanted to. Flash was especially fond of having George visit and play. We miss him and the mountains! We are planning to visit again as soon as possible!

Subject: ABOUT GEORGE Re: Your Fourpeaks visit 06/30/06 to The Cabin Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2006 07:58:21 -0400 (EDT) From: Martin (Your Adirondack Guide) To: dm****@hotmail.com David-- The remarks you made about dog behavior as you were leaving were interesting to me and made very good sense, too. I regret I was unable to make notes. May I phone sometime today or tomorrow to speak with you? 1. A dog who is raised without human contact will as an adult behave diffenntly than a dog who has been raised as part of a human family and habituated to humans as family members. Critical age for habituation? Probable behavior range for dogs (like George) not habituated until a year or so old? 2. George is very "needy." Approaches strangers for petting in a persistent and really (to me) annoying manner. He will get up on astranger's lap if there is any opportunity for him. Roots of this extremely "needy" behavior? David--I'm sorry to presume on your time in this way. My old GF and I had a dog shrink in VT (a funny story about her Aussie sheepdog bitch) who was pretty good, but she's far away and you've recently observed George. Any help along these lines will help me control George's contacts with guests in a safer manner. Also, are there well-written technical, scientifically accurate books on the subject you can steer me to? Best wishes, Martin Subject: RE: ABOUT GEORGE Re: Your Fourpeaks visit 06/30/06 to The Cabin Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2006 09:30:01 -0400 From: dm****@hotmail.com To: martin@4peaks.com Martin, I would be happy to talk to you further on the subject. I am available around 11-11:30am today, you can try me at 917-575-4583 and I will try you as well. An excellent book that I recommend you get is called Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson. They have it at Amazon. This will open your mind to a whole new way of understanding dogs and dog training. We will send pictures of our amazing trip to 4 Peaks soon. In the meantime, look at the attached image. That is George's newest friend, our border collie, Flash! You can see this ad in the July issue of Country Life or Better Homes and Garden magazine if you happen to have one lying around. ;) -David Subject: Re: ABOUT GEORGE Re: Your Fourpeaks visit 06/30/06 to The Cabin Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2006 19:26:08 -0400 (EDT) From: martin@4peaks.com To: dm***@hotmail.com> David-- Thanks for your help on the phone and the book reccommendation. I'll read with interest. Sounds like cutting edge thinking. I think now I'm better prepared to deal with George's interactions with guests. I'll work on the "Here" command right away. He's good with HOUSE, CAR, COOKIE etcetc so I know he'll get it. Flash looks very cute. How did he get picked for the ad?
