Wauconda police dog nominated for 2012 Hero Dog Awards

SIT/STAY COMMAND Begin with your dog on your left side, facing the same direction you are. Reach across your body with your right hand; grasp the leash in your right hand, holding it about 1 inch above the clasp. With your left hand grasp your dog�s hips gently. Using your left hand, rotate your dogs hips back, then down, into the sitting position, as you say �_________________ sit.� (Command Tone) Once your dog is in the sitting position, give the command �STAY�, as you show him/her the stay hand signal with a SNAP. (Palm of right hand) As you turn and face your dog, moving with your right foot first, begin to back away from him with a slack leash as you praise him: �Goooood boy!� When your dog gets up (and he will!) move quickly and SNAP the leash straight over his head as you say �NO!� (correction tone). Follow this ediately with �STAY�, (command tone) using the hand signal. Praise your dog both physically and verbally, while he/she remains in SIT/STAY. Your goal is to be able to circle your dog while he/she STAYS. Gently pull your dog toward you as you say �YOU�RE THROUGH!� (praise tone). Remember it is important to maintain patience and control; it is necessary for your dog to make mistakes so he can learn not to make them!

Father / Daughter / Dog Acrobatic Surf Team set Guinness World Record!

I live in Coronado, CA and ventured to the next town of Imperial Beach on Father's Day Weekend for the 2012 Surf Dog Championships. Little did I know that three Guinness World Records would be set that morning - for the most dogs to surf on a single board.

 

My TV and film career includes being a producer, director and broadcast journalist for the Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros., KPIX-TV (CBS), Princess Cruises, Paramount PIctures, SONY, KREX-TV (NBC) and KFTY-TV (IND).

 

My most recent feature film is SEROTONIN RISING which stars the DALAI LAMA and DEEPAK CHOPRA.  The movie is about how doing good deeds for others will raise your serotonin levels and strengthen the immune system.

 

SCHOOL OF THOUGHT is my latetst documentary.  That film stars DAVID LYNCH and PAUL McCARTNEY.  It's about how meditiation in schools is helping students become stress-free and more focused.  Oprah Winfrey aired clips of the film on her TV Movie Special:  "Oprah Visits America's Most Unusual Town."
