TheThe PetPet SpotSpot From Precious Pandemic Puppy to Wacky Wild Child Best Friends Animal Society Celebrates National Dog Training Month with Advice to Keep Your New Dog Happy at Home and Out of the Shelter February is National Dog Training Month, and since this is the 12th month of COVID, what better time to talk about the importance of training all those pandemic pups. We know that more than a million pets have been adopted from shelters and rescue groups since the start of the pandemic. But additionally, an untold number of puppies have been purchased since last March, which could spell trouble for first time pup parents. According to the American Pet Products Association’s COVID pulse surveys, as of December, 10% of respondents indicated they had gotten a new pet as a result of the pandemic, representing more than 12 million households. While the data is not separated by species, even after subtracting the adult dogs, cats and kittens, there is inevitably a huge number of new puppies in homes in the last year. Most shelter pets tend to be past the puppy stage, and generally come with some support from the shelter, informally in the form of advice, or formally by way of obedience classes. Puppies purchased from breeders, pet stores or online retailers are often only weeks old, most barely weaned, and usually do not come with any follow up support, leaving pet parents on their own. So now that months have passed, those sweet, little fuzzy fellows are turning into dog-sized critters with adolescent behaviors. Dogs need training and socialization to learn how to be healthy and happy members of the family, and that responsibility falls on owners. Without an investment in training, dogs can grow up to be wild, unruly pets with no manners, and families often tire of them at this stage because training a full-grown puppy who jumps on everyone, scratches and is mouthy, may feel like too much trouble. To help keep dogs who were once small and adorable, but are now larger and less manageable out of shelters, new pet owners should take advantage of this time to find creative ways to ensure their pups get the training and socialization they need, even amid the pandemic. Dog training may look different during COVID, but there are still plenty of options out there. Puppy parents can register their pets in private or socially-distanced group obedience classes, or find trainers offering courses on Zoom. Best Friends Animal Society has a variety of dog training videos online, from clicker and crate training, to puppy socialization, basic obedience, and working through leash-reactivity. Getting dogs and puppies out to socialize, to facilitate exposure to other dogs and to safely meet new people, can be accomplished with a long leash on walks or at dog parks. Marissa Sunny, CPDT-KA and senior dog lifesaving specialist at Best Friends Animal Society offers some advice to new pup parents: “Whether you purchased a puppy from a breeder or adopted a puppy from your local shelter or rescue group it is incredibly important to start training right away. While some behaviors may seem cute when the puppy is small, like jumping up to greet you or mouthing on your fingers, these behaviors can quickly become unmanageable in an adult dog. Dogs are extremely smart--smarter than we give them credit for most of the time --because of this they will likely train you faster than you can train them, so it’s best to get started right away.” As Sunny pointed out, dogs have no internal moral compass; they actually don’t know when they did something wrong unless you teach them otherwise. “Dogs view things in two categories --safe or dangerous, not good or bad. When your puppy becomes a teenager, and then an adult, they will continue the same ‘cute’ behaviors they started in puppyhood, but it is very different when it is an 80 lb. dog jumping on your elderly mother or mouthing your kids’ fingers,” she said. Sunny offered an example what happens when a dog grows up without training by way of a dog named Treat, who came to the Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Los Angeles recently. “Treat is an absolute sweetheart, but he had no idea how big he was. He would incessantly jump up on staff members and volunteers as well as hard mouth on anyone or anything that gave him a chance. We don’t know exactly how or why he ended up at the city shelter, but I suspect this behavior had something to do with it,” she said. “He was a young adult shepherd mix with a lot of energy to burn and nowhere productive to channel it. After working on relaxation protocol, basic training, and letting him work off his energy in the yard and playing with other dogs he found his forever family with a young family and another juvenile shepherd as a brother.” Most people are still home more than usual, and it’s important to spend time working with pets now, while also preparing them for more alone time, as people eventually go back to work, school and traveling. Dr. Erin Katribe, DVM, MS, Medical Director, Best Friends Animal Society, suggests knowing the signs of separation anxiety, and preparing for it before schedules change. Separation anxiety describes a condition in pets in which they are overly attached or dependent upon their owner. When pets with separation anxiety are separated from their owners, they experience high levels of anxiety and distress; this often manifests as characteristic behaviors, such as barking or whining when you leave, scratching or chewing or other destructive behaviors, over-grooming or other self-harm, or a change in appetite. “Most pets don’t like sudden and abrupt changes. Instead, try starting now to get your pet ready and ease them back to your previously ‘normal’ routine more easily,” said Dr. Erin. To get dogs prepared for alone time, she suggests the following: • Create a safe, comfortable place where they can have peaceful, relaxing alone time. This could be a crate or separate room, just make sure it’s the quietest part of the house. • Provide them with enrichment that can be enjoyed independently, such as hidden treats in boxes, food puzzles, stuffed Kongs, etc. • Play soothing music such as reggae, smooth jazz, or classical, or play the TV or radio to stations like the BBC or NPR while you’re gone to keep them from being startled by outside noises. You can also try a white noise machine. • Reward your dog for calm, independent behavior, especially if they’re usually clingy. We tend to pay attention to dogs only when they’re active or even misbehaving. They should be rewarded for being calm and chill. • Practice leaving for short periods of time to run essential errands or go for a walk. An investment now in training and socialization will pay off in the form of improved communication and expectations between pets and people, and a better-behaved, well-mannered pet who is a happier, healthier member of the family.

Partnering with Grubhub to offer 540 Pizza & Calzones presents a significant grassroots opportunity to reach some of these trending guest segments. Based on results, plans include adding additional third-party delivery partners, new markets, and additional future virtual brands to expand other SMG menu favorites. “Given SMG’s ample commercial kitchen facilities, culinary chefs and systems, we have the bandwidth for very high volumes,” noted Mike Dingess, Training Manager. “Our teams are poised to effectively support multiple brands as consumer response dictates.” Beginning this Friday, February 5, customers can order 540 Pizzas and Calzones exclusively through GrubHub at the locations listed above.

Carl’s Jr to make way for Starbucks DOWNEY – Plans to demolish an existing Carl’s Jr. restaurant and construction of a new building for a relocated Starbucks were unanimously approved on Wednesday evening by Downey’s Planning Commission. The existing 2,231 square foot burger-chain building, located at the southeast corner of Firestone and Lakewood Boulevards, will soon make way for a new 1,698 square foot coffee shop with outdoor seating and drive- through lane. The entrance to the proposed drive-through lane will be located on the south side of the parking lot, accessible by both Firestone and Lakewood. It will continue around the eastern side of the building and wrap around to the pick-up window, where cars will then exit back into the parking lot. This will not house a new Starbucks shop, as the current establishment currently housed in the Farmers and Merchants bank building across the street will move once the project is complete. 12 | The Downey Patriot Real Estate Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021
