Devocalization Fact Sheet
Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association Devocalization Fact Sheet Views of humane treatment of animals in both the veterinary profession and our society as a whole are evolving. Many practicing clinicians are refusing to perform non‐therapeutic surgeries such as devocalization, declawing, ear cropping and tail docking of dogs and cats because these procedures provide no medical benefit to the animals and are done purely for the convenience or cosmetic preferences of the caregiver. At this point, devocalization procedures are not widely included in veterinary medical school curricula. What is partial devocalization? What is total devocalization? The veterinary medical term for the devocalization procedure is ventriculocordectomy. When the surgery is performed for the non‐therapeutic purpose of pet owner convenience, the goal is to muffle or eliminate dog barking or cat meowing. Ventriculocordectomy refers to the surgical removal of the vocal cords. They are composed of ligament and muscle, covered with mucosal tissue. Partial devocalization refers to removal of only a portion of the vocal cords. Total devocalization refers to removal of a major portion of the vocal cords. How are these procedures performed? Vocal cord removal is not a minor surgery by any means. It is an invasive procedure with the inherent risks of anesthesia, infection, blood loss and other serious complications. Furthermore, it does not appear to have a high efficacy rate since many patients have the procedure performed more than once, either to try to obtain more definitive vocal results or to correct unintentional consequences of their previous surgeries. Often only the volume and/or pitch of animals’ voices are changed by these procedures.

Nampa Dog Park Rules
Nampa Dog Park Rules Dog waste must be cleaned up and properly disposed. • This is the most prominent dog park complaint. Dog owners who neglect to dispose of their dog’s waste create a less enjoyable and potentially unhealthy environment for other park users. Waste bags are provided at receptacles throughout the park, so please help keep the park clean and inviting by properly disposing of dog waste. Also, it would be a great community service if everyone made an effort to pick up missed waste. Dogs must be on a leash at all times except when in the designated off-leash dog area. • Keep your dog leashed at all times while outside the fenced dog park area, even in the parking lot. This will prevent your dog from running off or being hit by a car since drivers may not see your dog. Dogs must wear a collar and display proper license. • Your dog’s collar or harness should include a license and identification tag. Park users accept all risk of injury that may occur to themselves and their dog. Handler/owner are liable for the actions of their dog. • Each handler is legally responsible for his/her dog. The City of Nampa will assume no responsibility for any injuries to humans or animals. Therefore, each handler is responsible for supervision of his or her animal. All handlers must remain in the park with their dog at all times. For safety reasons, no food (dog or human) allowed in the park. • Some dogs may become aggressive when food is present.

An Examination of Dog Ownership in the Promotion of Walking As a Form Of
An Examination of Dog Ownership in the Promotion of Walking as a Form of Physical Activity and its Effects on Physical and Psychological Health by Nikolina Antonacopoulos A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology Carleton University Ottawa, Canada ©2016 Nikolina Antonacopoulos Abstract The low percentage of Canadian adults who are sufficiently active is of concern in light of the detrimental health consequences associated with insufficient physical activity. Two studies were conducted in order to explore dog walking as a means of obtaining physical activity and the possible health benefits from dog walking. In Study 1, dog walking was examined from three perspectives through a week-long study of 61 regular dog walkers. First, summary statistics revealed that slightly more than half of the time spent dog walking was at a moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA1) level and approximately 2 in 5 dog owners met the Canadian physical activity guideline through dog walking alone. Second, analyses revealed that an important factor affecting time spent dog walking at a MVPA1 level is the size of the dog, as it is a factor that individuals who are acquiring a dog can take into consideration. Another key finding was that all of the dog walkers reported that they walk their dog for its well-being, which indicates that dog walking is a purposeful physical activity. This suggests that dog walking should be promoted in terms of its benefits for the dog. Third, analyses comparing dog walkers' psychological health before and after their dog walks revealed an improvement on six out of seven psychological health measures.

Master of Environmental Studies Capstone Projects. 18. https://repository.upenn.edu/mes_capstones/18 Presented to the Faculties of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Environmental Studies 2007. This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/mes_capstones/18 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Dog Parks: Benefits and Liabilities Abstract Dog parks have emerged in the last decade or so as places for pet owners living in suburban and urban areas to exercise their dogs. Providing a safe environment for both dog and human is a tremendous challenge. If done correctly a dog park can be that place. In the 1950s and 1960s, some state and regional parks had liberal policies and permitted dogs to run free or off-leash on certain trails, but in most cities and other urban areas, dog owners were required to keep their dog on-leash when the animals left their own premises. The concept of a dog park, an enclosed area devoted exclusively to canine activity, evolved in California in 1979. Dog parks are now found in every state, but Alaska, and in at least six Canadian provinces. These parks generally consist of one or more acres of open grassland surrounded by a chain-link fence.

West End Dog Park Project Agenda Item: 6A
Town of Cochrane Council Report Meeting: Regular Council Meeting Date: June 12, 2017 Originated By: Gerry Murphy, Manager Parks and Open Spaces Title: West End Dog Park Project Agenda Item: 6a RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council direct Administration to proceed with the West End Dog Park Project as presented. STRATEGIC / SUSTAINABILITY PLAN ITEM 1.0 Sustianable Community Building; Together we create a complete community through a balance of environmental, economic, and social infrastructures BACKGROUND The 2012 Open Space Master Plan identifies the need for more off leash areas and specifically a fenced in Dog Park. The green space west of Highway 22 and north of Quigley Drive is identified as a potential Dog Park within the plan. As part of the 2017 capital budget, Council approved a dog park project in this area. An initial concept was completed and shared with the public. Council received feedback from a number of concerned residents backing onto the proposed park. At the March 13 Regular Council Meeting, Council directed Administration to prepare a new Dog Park design along with costing on the green space west of Highway 22 and south of Quigley Drive and bring it back to Council in June. While the new area has decreased from 8 acres to 7 acres, the new location and design retains a separate small dog/puppy area and a larger open space with a dedicated paved pathway. The new design does not have the agility items or a dedicated parking area, but agility items could be added at a later time and the new area has shared parking with the West Rock Soccer Pitch and Skate Board Park.
