The 3 C’s - By becoming our dog's Calm, Confident & Consistent Leader, we can alleviate and avoid many unwanted behaviors and channel excessive energy into a positive and productive relationship. The Facts - The actual numbers of dogs euthanized yearly in the United States is staggering. According to statistical information provided by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), in 2009 there were approximately 77.5 million owned dogs in the United States. That is an increase of over 3 million dogs in the last 10 years. Studies show that over 5 million dogs are surrendered to animal shelters or humane organizations every year. Of those 5,000,000 unwanted dogs, approximately 64% are euthanized. That means that over 3,200,000 (Three million two hundred thousand) dogs are euthanized in this country every year. An estimated 24% (or almost a million) of these dogs were euthanized because the owner could no longer handle their pets’ problem behavior. I believe that percentage to be much, much higher. My name is Brian Manning and I am the Lead Behavior Consultant and owner of Canine Behavioral Services Inc. Almost 20 years ago I had the unfortunate task of "disposing" of many of these so called "problem" dogs. Let me explain. For years I worked at the Animal Rescue League of Boston and one of my many shelter duties was that of Euthanasia Technician. To accomplish my "duties" I was forced to become hardened to this epidemic but all the while knowing that my goal in life was to somehow make a difference in these seemingly absurd numbers of unwanted pets. So, I began immersing myself in study, attending seminars & lectures, reading behavioral journals and honing my techniques on my own "pack" of rescued dogs.
