Dogs have long been thought of as man's best friend. And as any dog owner knows, there's a good reason for this. They can be loving, devoted, and fun for the whole family. But can you guess what the number-one cause of death for dogs is? It's not trauma or disease. It's euthanasia brought on by behavior problems, and it doesn't have to be that way. Let's welcome dog behavior therapist Liam Crowe and his buddy, Nicky. Hi. >> G'day, Kim. >> Alexis: Hello, Nicky. [ laughs ] So, tell me a little bit about Your bark busters. >> Bark busters is the world's Largest dog training company. We're in 42 states. We have over 250 trainers out There. We come to your home. We're there for about two to Three hours, and we guarantee Our work for the life of the Dog. So after that one visit, we've Got your dog trained. >> Alexis: In two to three hours, you train a dog? >> Yes. We train you to train the dog. That’s the important part. >> Alexis: We're trained? Okay. >> We teach you to speak dog. >> Alexis: Why? So, you're saying that the dog doesn’t need training? It's how we're handling it? >> Pretty much. We tend to -- being humans by nature, we tend to treat the dog like they're part of the family, and the dog really doesn't understand that. So we teach you to communicate in a way that he really understands, which is primarily body language and voice tone. >> Alexis: So, let's say you come into my house. Go through it step by step. >> We would come in. We would sit down with the Family. We would look at the pack Dynamic of the family, figure out who the leader is, whether it’s the dog or whether it's the owners or whether it's the children sometimes, believe it or not. And then we would show you how to communicate with him in a way That he understands. It's very effective. >> Alexis: All right. Now, I have dog, mocha, and I Would love if Nicky here can -- Is Nicky going to get up and be able to show us something? >> Yes, I think he is. >> Alexis: I would love to have a demonstration, yes. I want to see you at work. >> Come on, Nicky. Good boy. What I’m doing now is really Just what we call attentiveness Training. It's teaching Nicky to be Attentive to me. And so it's just changing Direction ever so slightly, and It's getting him to focus on me, Although he wants to focus on The chair right now. [growls] Nicky, come. Good boy. Nicky, sit. Good boy. Stay. That growl you might notice that I made there -- [growls] Sit up. Come on. [smooches] come on. Good boy. He's getting tired. Come on. Good boy. Sit. Stay [growls] stay. Good boy. Good boy. That growl is really communicating on his terms. Dog’s growl. They don't say "no," "stop it," "bad dog." They growl. They use a guttural tone. That's what I’m mimicking there. And then the "good boy," that Nice, sweet voices that I’m Using, tells him he's doing the Right thing. Now, I’m going to try and distract Him here. [ growls ] Good boy. Stay. You'll notice i came up to full Height there. That just asserts that authority in a passive way that's not going to cause him any harm. Good boy. >> Alexis: Are you looking in his eyes? Does that mean anything? >> You know, I’m looking in his eyes primarily not to stare at him, but I’m also looking at his body language to get a cue. If he's about to move his foot, then I can correct that, as Well. It's all about timing so he understands when he's doing the Right thing and when he's doing the wrong thing. We're trying to give him that constant feedback. It's really important that he goes, "I understand I’m doing the wrong thing now, but I really want to please you and do the right thing," and that's that praise. >> Alexis: And they all want to please us? >> Absolutely. They want nothing more than to please us. Yes. Guaranteed. Free, free. Good boy. Just using that nice, light tone, lots of love and pets when he does the right thing. >> Alexis: Now, "free" for him, he just -- because it was body language and the tone of voice, not the word itself? >> You could pretty much use any word, but we use the word "free" because it's not often used nowadays. >> Alexis: Now, we're running out of time. How can people find out about your bark busters? >> GO TO OUR WEBSITE -- barkbusters.com. you can learn about the franchise opportunity there, find out if there's a trainer in your territory. we have free tips on the website. there's a behavioral rating quiz. you can rate your dog's behavior on there for free, as well. >> Alexis: "A," "B," OR "C"? >> Exactly. you've got it. >> Alexis: Thank you very much. >> You're welcome. >> Alexis: All right. http://www.thebalancingact.com/show_segment.php?id=53 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0000 Communicating With Your Dog For Better Behavior Dog Behavior Therapist Liam Crowe talks about a nationwide network of dog behavioral trainers & why he started the business. <h2> Show Transcript </h2> >> Alexis: Hi, I’m Kim Alexis.

Salad expert charlotte wines, Marzetti's vice president of food service research and development, is gonna show us how. Welcome, charlotte. >> It's exciting being here. >> Dr. Walsh: good to have you here. Listen, how do you define the Perfect salad? >> I think you have to start with the freshest ingredients you can find. I think that lettuce is important, as fresh as you can find it, ripe tomatoes. I think interesting, delicious stir-ins like things that add color and crunch and texture, like croutons and maybe fruits and almonds. >> Dr. Walsh: I love walnuts with apples in a salad -- Delicious. And what else? >> I think probably the most important part is the dressing. Selecting a very flavorful Dressing is very important. >> Dr. Walsh: Now, i notice that we’re using refrigerated dressings today. How do they differ from the ones that we see on the condiment Aisles of a grocery store? >> Well, on these refrigerated Dressings, Marzetti has been working on eliminating all of the preservatives and they're Made all-natural now. We've even eliminated High-fructose corn syrups, which should make a lot of the moms Very happy. >> Dr. Walsh: So, no high-fructose corn syrup, no preservatives.

We're starting out with some Fresh bibb lettuce, slicing some Beefsteak tomatoes, and then, of Course, drowning it with your Blue cheese dressing. >> Dr. Walsh: And look at the chunks. That's real blue cheese in there. >> Yes, it is. >> Dr. Walsh: So, a hearty salad Like this can take a nice, Creamy blue cheese dressing. But i notice you made a Different choice with this Spinach and arugula salad, Because of the fresh berries? >> Yes, we thought that the Balsamic vinaigrette does lend itself to a lighter dressing, and it dresses lighter greens better than a heavier dressing. So, we've got, on this salad, a Blend of spinach and arugula and then a combination of Strawberries and blueberries. And the dressing just takes that Tartness from the berries and Compliments with a little bit of Sweetness that's in the Balsamic. >> Dr. Walsh: So, that's a good Rule of thumb for cooks at home? The sweeter the salad, the more acidic the dressing? >> YES. >> Dr. Walsh: It's pleasant to the palate? Okay, and what have we got here? >> And, too, in this one, the Lighter the greens, the lighter the dressing that you might want to use. On this one, this is a little Bit heartier salad this one's kind of fun to make because it's , and actually some pasta. We chose to use spaghetti in this one, but you could use a Variety of different pastas in here. >> Dr. Walsh: That's an Interesting salad. Put pasta in your salads with your lettuce. That'll make it fun. Now, Marzetti, their salad Dressings can be used for more Than just salads, right? >> Oh, absolutely. All kinds of marinades and dips And sauces. Actually, the blue cheese dressing that we used on this salad, if you're having a cookout, you could take a cup of the blue cheese dressing and add maybe a tablespoon, maybe a Little bit more, of your brandy and take it up a couple of Notches, and it'll make a Beautiful dressing for a steak. >> Dr. Walsh: Thank you so much for being with us today, charlotte.

Long-term, this could cause Problems with your health. Here to help us understand what We can do about this is industry Expert dr. Susan wilder. Welcome, Susan So, you're saying that even if Do the right thing and take m Vitamins, my body's no Absorbing them correctly, or What's going on? >> Absolutely. Our bodies are very individual, And our nutritional status has To do with many things, from our Genetics to how we absorb and Break down and eliminate drugs and medications. >> Dr. Walsh: So everybody's a little bit different in how vitamins affect them, but There's also, you say, a range Of vitamins out there in quality. >> Absolutely. I would say "good supplement" is an oxymoron sometimes. Because we don't have regulation in that industry, it is very hard to cull out the wheat from the chaff. >> Dr. Walsh: So what's a consumer to do? Is price an indicator? Are more expensive vitamins better? >> Absolutely not. There are a few things that Consumers can do -- number one is to look for the level of Testing that a supplement has gone through. U.S.P. testing implies that the supplement is tested for quantity, that what they have in the supplement is what they say they have. Pharmaceutical-grade – >> Dr. Walsh: So they're even not regulated regarding their labeling, that they might no even be in that capsule what they say is on the box? >> Absolutely. Very scary. Some are not worth the packaging they’re packed in. >> Dr. Walsh: Right. Is there any way you can find out what your body's missing? >> There is a wonderful test that was developed by Spectra cell called the functional intracellular Analysis. >> Dr. Walsh: Functional Intracellular analysis. >> Say that three times fast. So the functional analysis looks At, from inside the white blood Cell, your cellular function for About 25 or more different Nutrients -- vitamins, minerals, Essential fatty acids, essential Amino acids. >> Dr. Walsh: Is it a blood test? >> It's a blood test. It requires no fasting. And unlike serum testing, the Reason that physicians don't Look at nutrition is we've not been able to serum-test it. What i had for lunch is gonna Impact my test this afternoon. It's gonna fluctuate wildly. But from inside the white blood Cell, you can get a long-term Assessment of what your Nutrition is. And that also tells us cumulatively where you've been. >> Dr. Walsh: So this test will tell you, at the cellular level, exactly what you're missing, and then you can target that with Specific nutrients. Now, we should say that at the cellular level is where you want to make your wellness happen, to prevent major illnesses, correct? >> Absolutely. It is within the cell that all our major body processes are performed, and every major body Process requires nutrients to Facilitate it. So if you're deficient in any Particular things, you have many Processes that are going to have to detour or halt. >> Dr. Walsh: Now, you're a family-practice physician who uses tests like this on healthy patients to make sure they stay healthy along the way, and you’re one of the few people who are prescribing vitamins instead of drugs? >> Yeah. It's been a paradigm shift to get into nutrition because it's such a small part of our medical Training. But in terms of patients' Overall wellness, in 16 years or 17 years now practicing Medicine -- of course, I started when I was 12. >> Dr. Walsh: Of course.
