Frisky’s attractive young mistress is the nine-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. (Bobby) Taylor, Jr. and lives at 511 Woodland Way where the pet, a year old in August, counts the backyard as his domain which he rules from a fenced in enclosure. Robin said she obtained Frisky when he was three months old from the Horton Kennels in Griffin. She lets all know that the beautiful white, black, and gray dog is a "member of the family”. Mother, Anita Taylor, chi med in that Frisky is “party colored”. Mrs. Taylor said that Robin loves animals of all kinds and that she had especially been unfortunate with her dogs. Mrs. Taylor recalled that a poodle, Pierre, was killed by a car on Indian Springs Street several years ago. Shortly after wards they obtained an Alaskan Malemute, named Lady Rhonda, who gave birth to nine puppies and because Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories I have seldom heard anyone complain when a dog barks to protect his owner. On the other hand, uncon trollable barking and howl ing generally causes prob lems for the dog’s owner and those unfortunate enough to be nearby. Why does a dog bark uncontrollably? Breeding may be one reason. There are certain breeds that are more prone to bark than others. The small breeds, on the whole, tend to be barkers. Larger breeds are generally more subdued. Terriers or crossbred ter riers, for example, are generally nervous, rather high strung and full of energy, which they may attempt to use up by barking, particularly if they are underexercised. of a serious infection the mother and all of her offspring had to be put to sleep. Still another dog, a Collie by the name of Blackie, was struck and killed by a car on Nelson Street. Robin is quick to declare that no such ill fortune will befall Frisky because he is kept penned in his own fenced-in area in the back yard, and because she keeps a weather eye on him. Mrs. Taylor disclosed that when the family first obtained Frisky he lived in the house until the situation became unbearable and a suitable place was fixed for him in the yard. Robin says Frisky knows how to beg for food and particularly likes Jim Dandy rations. Robin states that he has learned a few tricks such as to walk on his hind legs, standing up, and retrieving a thrown object. Mrs. Taylor allows that husband Bobby loves Frisky about as much as she and Robin and that during one of the colder spells of weather the past winter, Bobby placed a heating pad and cover in the dog’s house, which led Robin to quip, On the other hand, the hound breeds (such as Basset) are normally docile and don’t make much noise. Generally, you can expect a dog to bark when he is cooped up in an apartment all alone, and his owner is away for a good part of the day. The dog has nothing to do but sleep or be bored. So, when he hears the doorbell or telephone ring in your home or your neighbors, he is ready for action. He is telling everyone that he is there and eager for a good walk or run. Barking is your dog’s way of gaining attention. He may sound off if you neglect him while you are at home. The chief thing is to let your dog know that he cannot bark indiscriminately and get away with it. As soon as he barks or howls there must be a strong reprimand. If you THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA Daddy, I bet Frisky is the warmest dog in town.” He probably was. Mrs. Taylor said, however, that in particularly incle ment weather ~ cold, windy, or a driving rainstorm - Frisky is allowed to spend the night in the house. Robin recalls the day they got Frisky. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor told her they were going to Griffin for some thing to eat and after arriving there, stopped by the kennel where Robin looked over all the dogs before deciding on Frisky, which was the first dog shown her. But Frisky is by no means Robin’s only pet since she has a parakeet named Susie, who will be two years old in September and which Mrs. Taylor concedes they still do not know the sex of the feathered pet. Mr. and Mrs. John L. Coleman are neighbors of the Taylors on Woodland Way. Mrs. Coleman has two Siamese cats, Blossom and Rosie, who come over into the Taylor yard on occasions, particularly Blossom, with whom Robin enjoys playing with a lot. She says that she and Blossom have become “good friends.” relax this stern treatment, he will simply return to his bad habits. If your dog is an excessive barker, don’t despair. There are several things you can do to correct this habit: 1. When your dog begins to bark or howl, you must be right there to reprimand him with a firm, loud “NO” Clapping a folded newspaper against your hand or a nearby object, while issuing a sharp warning will also help. 2. Try leaving your dog for a period of time, quickly returning with a sharp reprimand if he begins to bark. Each time stay away for a longer period of time, but always return with a rebuke at the sound of barking. If a persistent barker does not respond in a reasonable time to your training efforts, the barking may be a sign of some other problem. If such a situation arises, consult your veterinarian. (Dr. Minor regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems.) Want Ads Get Results /. T.
