07/26/18: Walks Trevor every afternoon, 2 female black labs and a male corgi beagle mix to walk with and sometimes a jack Russell, good friends with neighbors with a lab-doodle and golden-doodle. He turned 7 years old. Growls at first.
The Dog Camp they send their dogs to is NOT for training, it is simply for them to board next door to each other (his resident dog) and learn to like each other. Just Acquaint the dogs and have the dogs get to know each other.
That way there is no possessiveness and no territorialityDog Camp outside of Jacksonville SC

– Marsha Garrett or Tommac Garrett own the kennel.I’ve talked to them about Kara and sent them photos/movies of her. They’re not on FB. I also gave them Rebekah Burgdorf’s number to call and talk to her about Kara and see what she says about introducing them through the dog camp. I don’t like that. I’d want Kara to go right into a home. Rebekah may have alternate ways to introduce them. We’ll see what Rebekah thinks and whether they will consider her without the doggy camp.
07/26/18: Sent email asking to tell me a good time to call.
They’re on hold, rec’d this email back:
Hi Jackie,My husband and I have decided to wait a little longer to adopt a dog. We have a border collie who is 12 and had hip surgery and we don’t think it would be a good idea to bring another dog in who might want to play with him. Also my mother in law recently had an accident and I am spending a lot of time caring for her. It would not be fair to the dog I adopt to be left alone so much. I did not know this when I submitted my application. I would like to adopt another Airedale when the time is right, so please keep my application on file. I will contact you when this is possible. I am sorry I missed your call I did not see them on my recent call log, maybe I entered the number on my application incorrectly. It is 770-597-1250.
Thank you so much for considering me, and thanks for all you do in saving these dogs!
Jack
07/26/18: Throughout her training, Kara has improved quite a bit. She can now walk with other dogs – all Rebekah’s. Rebekah has sent me updates and posted photos and videos on her FB page: Mountain Harmony Canine. She uses the same training methods as Cindy Green.
07/26/18: Talked to Bob & Sally Atherton about Kara. They’re going to talk to Rebekah.
07/25/18: Asked Lynda to do a HV for us. She said yes.

Your contact can also call me at 404-895-9575.07/24/18: Offered Scout to Bob & Susan Harper and they initially refused him because they thought he was too old at 11 months. So, jmc Offered Scout to Lori & David Kloth.
07/25/18: Bob & Susan reconsidered and have asked to meet Scout with their Airedale George to see if they get along. Connected them to Marion & Sally.

Subject: Re: ScoutMorning, Marion & Sally. You two are wonderful and prove what a little love and attention will do. As young as he is, I have no doubt that he will acclimate easily to a new home with loving people and, we hope, another dog as a playmate. It’s a testament to your environment that he has so quickly adjusted to you two. I’m glad that he’s learning how to be inside a house. That is critical.
I understand your situation and do not want to take advantage of your generosity and your zeal to help us get him out of a bad environment. I do not have anyone for him yet, but feel certain that we can get him moved or at least kennel him until we find that home. The people I told you about have decided that they want a dog younger(!) than 11 months, because “so much bonding occurs in that first year.” I don’t even know how to respond to that.
Call me from Dr. Anton’s this afternoon and I will give them our CC for his check up. We will make arrangements for him to be neutered elsewhere. I hope to be able to move him this weekend.
I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for us already with this boy.

On July 24, 2018 at 8:11 PM Marion DixonHi Jackie,
He is doing well. We let him in the last night and he was very apprehensive at first. So many strange objects/things that I doubt he’d ever seen. We gave him the “grand tour” and soon he was OK, especially when Jed or Ben took the lead…His tail is a danger (lol!) in that he wags it a lot, and anything “low lying” is apt to get knocked over. He especially enjoys bouncing around the back yard! I know the freedom he is experiencing is something he truly enjoys. He seems quite content and I fear is really acclimating too quickly. I wish we had the room, and the resources to be a “foster failure” but we know there is a family somewhere that needs this beautiful puppy. That can/will enjoy teaching him more and getting his unconditional love in return.. He is very smart, learns quickly and is a joy to watch and be with… He’s worked his way into my heart already and I will hate to see him go, but Sally and I know it will be best for him (and us… )
Jed, we can tell would rather he not be there. He’s had enough of the puppy. He tolerates him and isn’t aggressive, but, he wants his routine back. Ben is doing OK, he’s tolerant of his energy and at times he’ll bounce around with him. If it were to be permanent I could do more attitude/direction control with them but knowing that he’ll be leaving I’m not to inclined to try to get a group therapy session going… I just hate that “Scout” (that name does not fit him, but…) will be exposed to losing his buddies after having been abused by being left alone so long. He’s really a good dog! Just needs someone to give him their love, time and some “special attention” and as sharp as he is, he’d respond oh so lovingly….
We have an appointment tomorrow afternoon with Dr. Anton for his wellness check and to see about heart worms. They still have ARG’s information and your contact info from when we had Ben treated there for heart worms and his neutering.
How long do you think before any decisions will be made about adoption? Actually, we were only thinking of a few days to help get Scout out of a bad situation. Sally’s mom (89 years old) needs her to help
with things weekly and she lives in another town 50 miles away. I’m still working full time, running a business and we’re trying to accommodate as best we can but it can’t continue too much longer. Sally has already postponed a trip to her moms this week to help her so she could insure the dogs were OK. Ordinarily it’s no big deal cause Jed and Ben are well trained, have their routines and we all work around it. While Scout is a pleasure, we feel like we can leave him just a very short time unattended. The sooner he is able to be placed it will be better for him and us. I fear he is really “putting down roots” and I don’t relish having to move him after he is beginning to feel like he is home. This Friday I have business trip that requires a whirl wind travel to Indiana and back (late Saturday evening) so Sally will be looking after three dogs and a cat while I’m gone for two days…We would prefer that Scout be neutered after he leaves us…. Hopefully his new family would want to be responsible for that. Finally a point of clarification, Scout didn’t have his accident in the house. It was out in the screened porch area. Sally saw him and shooed him out. He then saw Ben outside urinating and followed suit. Since then, he’s done his business out where the boys do theirs… And, he is having very good BM’s.
Waiting to hear how you want to proceed,
Marion and SallyOn Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at 8:55 AM, Jackie Cash < airedalemail@comcast.net> wrote:
Morning, Marion & Sally. Thanks so much for the photos of Scout. He is a handsome dude. How is he adjusting to your home? Any more accidents in the house? Is he still getting along fine with your boys?Please go ahead and make an appointment with your vet, Dr. Anton, for a general wellness check, update vaccines, and schedule a neuter appointment. If the wait for the neuter appointment is too long, we may try to go ahead and move him, although I don’t have a home lined up yet. We know that you don’t intend to keep him, so we want to find his home ASAP. His lack of training will make that a little more difficult.
Thank you, again, for your valuable help with this boy.

Subject: Re: Meeting Lilly & Home VisitGibby, Jim,
Enjoyed meeting you both today and introducing you to sweet Lilly. I am sure it is a bit of a shock to suddenly have a new dog. It will take time for Lilly to adjust and bond to you. One of the best ways to develop this bond is a structured walk . This is walking with Lilly calmly at your side as we practiced. This calm forward movement together helps to establish the pack. This also the best way for dogs to get to know each other.Please find attached a word document with detailed info on Lilly’s feeding, daily routine, training and meds. I am also sending separately a link to a series of video clips I made with another ARG dog named Maggie. These videos demonstrate the training mentioned in the document. Just envision Lilly in place of Maggie.
Link to training videos with Maggie (insert Lilly) https://splice.gopro.com/v?id=LEEE9N
I also suggest you watch the youtube video at the link below to get a detailed explanation on the use of the transitional leash. The two women in that video are the masters.
https://youtu.be/JF9FJCTtjXI (K9 lifeline transitional leash demo with Heather Beck).Also below is a link to the cot bed sold on Amazon.
K and H manufacturing dog cot bed on Amazon http://a.co/7mMltunPlease don’t hesitate to contact me with questions. I want to support this transition for you and Lilly. Please expect this transition period to take several weeks at a minimum. You are always welcome to come back for a followup lesson.
Best wishes for a wonderful life with Lilly,
Cindy07/24/18: Lilly was adopted by Jim & Gibby Lawson of Southport, NC. They picked her up at Cindy Green’s today.
Cindy’s take home notes:
Lilly
Food -Taste of the Wild – Salmon, can alternate with purchasing Venison or Beef to balance proteins
6:30 am, 1.5 cups
6:30 pm, 1,5 cups
Lilly understands the use of “body pressure” to mean wait and give space. This teaches impulse control .
See video clip
I always separate dogs when feeding and give them a private place to eat at their own pace and without distraction.Potty – 6am, 2pm, 8:00pm
Meds – She is due for Heartworm control on first day of each month. I have used Heartguard Plus.
Flea and Tick control is on 15th of month. I have used Frontline or Advantix II. You will need to purchase.
Jackie can provide a copy of her recent vet records with vaccination info.Structured walk – Walk daily on transitional leash with Lilly at your side. This is a bonding “follow me/be with me” exercise. The transitional leash in the “over the nose position” was used to teach a conditioned relaxation response. She walks in a relaxed position at my side without concern for her surroundings. This is called migration mode and it as state of mind where the dog trusts you and joins you traveling without concern for surrounding events. In a few video clips my dogs pop in and out providing distraction but Maggie does not react as she knows that it is not the time to concern herself with other dogs.
See Video clips.
Martingale Collar – should be fitted with just a 1 -2 inch release and placed high on the neck when being used. Straight up pressure with the Martingale collar at the jaw line (natural calming point) should elicit same sit and relax response as with leash. This is a conditioned response. Note in one of the video clips my Grace girl joins in for the walk and when I stop and give Maggie leash pressure, Grace also stops and I just touch her collar to get a relaxed sit.
Although I have worked with Lilly on verbal commands (Sit, down, come), much of her training has been teaching a conditioned relaxation response with the transitional leash, body pressure or touch. I also use fingersnap to ask for a sit or submissive posture. Communicating nonverbally with the leash and your body helps maintain a calm state of mind for you and the dog.See Video clips.

Hey Christina- it seems impossible that we have had Lucy for 3 years. She has gained quite a few pounds-now 76 lbs which we are trying to keep her close to. Time flys. We did not evacuate during the hurricane. Lost electricity for 26 hrs so not as bad as some people. It was really scary when the back winds came-we had more down trees during that time but luckily nothing to our house. Tons of stuff in yard and some flooding in neighborhood but we lucked out. Taking Lucy to a great trainer to address her issues with other dogs on lease and she has been doing great. Being a rescue dog I probably haven’t been as hard on her as I should have been not knowing what she had went through with previous owners. I have been going thru with some health issues with a recurring metastatic melanoma which got me to surgery, radiation and chemo but now on chemo just every once in 3 months. Feeling great! I’m always on the rescue site looking at all your dogs and the adoptions. Great work!! Hope all is well with you and all this crazy weather we have been having. Have a great Xmas holiday and will keep all you up to date on Lucy. Thanks for all the good work you are doing. Joanne

HI Joanne
I’m checking in with you all about how you faired during the hurricane. Did you evacuate. Was there damage to your home. How did Lucy do. My parents live in SC and evacuated for a week. Hope everything is ok. It’s been 3 years since your adoption!

just to give you an update on Lucy. She now weighs 60 pounds-hair starting to grow out a little bit. The flags for the electric fence have been decreased in half and she seems to get it. Been in yard with a 15 foot leash on(just so I can grab it quick if she seems to be thinking of taking off) but so far she seems content with staying in yard playing catch with a tennis ball. Took her to day care for 1/2 day and had a ball with all the dogs and running around. All in all Karl and I are really enjoying her. But for 2 tearing up of plastic bags in the beginning(our fault) she hasnt gotten into anything. Looking forward to dryer and warmer weather to be able to take her to beach and more yard playing. Will send pictures when we can. JoanneFrom: Christina Prange

Subject: Re: Lucy pic
Hi Joanne, I thought of you all today and wanted to check in. Great update and yes it sounds like a who is in charge thing between you and Lucy. She wants to be in charge, be your protector, handle the situation. My trainer would say……Lucy has to know that Joanne is in charge and not Lucy, Lucy does not need to protect Joanne, Lucy needs to know she does not need to protect you because you are in charge. Sounds like you are on right path to recognize this early and engage with a trainer. I have a guy in Raleigh who has been in my life since I had my first dale named Rosie and I probably have a lesson with him once a year. Definitely more when i have had a situation that required repeated help. He has helped me through some foster dogs, my own dogs. In fact I am going to a new class with him in March called Urban Agility. I think you should engage in one to help you 1:1 with her issue then maybe there is a group setting where you can work with Lucy in a controlled setting and the trainer can correct you in situations. Of course, 1:1 is best at first and probably is a 1 or 2 session plan.
Please let me know how it goes.

hopefully this picture comes through-I’m a little stupid with that stuff. Lucy has been doing great. Loves doggy day care-gets along with all the dogs. One thing we have noticed is that when I take her on walks and we come across other dogs on leases, she barks and starts to go after the dog. Karl thinks she is protecting me. I am a little concerned about that and am looking into a trainer to hopefully give me help on how to stop her from doing that. She loves her walks on the beach but again when coming up to other dogs she wants to go at them. Any suggestions along with going to a good trainer? She responds great to commands but is definetly my dog. I keep up to date on the website to see how all the other dogs are doing in regards to getting adopted. JoanneFrom Old Board:

We are all set for transfer of Lucy on Dec 14. I’ll let you know what time we will leave SC later in the week. If a time is better for you AM/PM let me know. I got our crate out of storage that our airedale used when he was a puppy. After we moved to SC from NJ he didnt want any part of it so we stored it. All cleaned and set up for Lucy if she wants to just chill out in it. Didnt put door on it since you said she doesnt like it closed. Invisable fence guy coming Mon Dec 16 to set up flags and assess Lucy and me and retrain me. Will have a week to work with her before our kids come for holidays. Looking forward to it. Let us know if we need to do anything else. Oh- the 300$ donation that is suggested can be done on the website? Is that all we have to do? Thanks again for answering all our questions. Joanne

Our Welsh Terrier wore a thunder shirt but mostly because she was deathly scared of thunderstorms. Would it be a good idea to get one for Lucy? Talked to Karl and his schedule next week is crasy so if still ok with you can we pick her up on Sat Dec 14. Will still give us a week and half to work with her untill Xmas guests get here and the Invisable fence guy would have enough notice to come to the house early on and work with her and me. Do I need to get a collar or will the one she has stay with her. I feel like a new mom bringing a newborn home even though that was years ago. Let us know. I’ll touch bases with you this evening. Thanks Joanne

Delightful conversation with Joanne today, so we have spoken to both parties 🙂
She is as charming as I expected. They are eager but willing to be patient, especially as she will be having knee surgery next week and take “a few weeks” to get back to full activity.
No preference M/F age 2-5 yrs preferred.
I told her I will move her to approved on our internal message board, and keep her in mind when the right one comes along.
And to check the website.
We talked some about our process, transportation (do we go pick up the dog?) etc.
The homeowner association requires e fence only b/c their backyard abuts directly on the golf course. Homes further back are allowed a tasteful wrought iron fence. They never let their others out in yard unattended but they enjoyed observing yard work.From: Barbara Lawson

I can’t help you with the hand-stripper. I’ve never had my ‘dales hand-stripped. There was one in Memphis up till about 1999 or 2000. She was a former top Airedale breeder, Betty Hoisington of Eden Kennels. But to my knowledge there is no one here anymore. And I don’t know about Nashville. I’ll ask some of our folks and post on FB to our group. Maybe someone has a contact.

On June 18, 2018 at 3:02 PM Maureen WilliamsonJackie – How nice to hear from you. I am so happy to learn that you have found a good placement for Maggie – poor dear certainly deserves a break!
Spencer will be a year old on July 17th! Can not believe it. He is a sweet boy – we had him out on Saturday to a neighborhood event “Porchfest” and I was gratified as we walked the neighborhood to once again have an Airedale that is very reliable with children and who does not over react to other dogs – it is sort of crazy – when he sees another dog he is enthusiastic but not at all aggressive – if they are aggressive he will simply sit and watch them go by!!
I am having one heck of a time with grooming. Spencer is a quality Airedale and I have always had my Airedales hand stripped. Just lucky enough I now understand to have always lived in a location where those services were readily available. Spencer was first groomed in Maryland when we had him home for Thanksgiving- he was young but looked terrific. I have searched high and low in the Nashville area – working with contacts through my vet and boarding kennel and I have not been able to get him groomed properly. I have paid big bucks for three of the worst grooms imaginable – not even close. Do you have a referral? Memphis is closer than Maryland and I am getting desperate to have him groomed properly! You said you had an active volunteer in the Franklin area – maybe she knows of someone? Any direction you can provide would be appreciated.
We continue to anticipate Airedale #2 – so sorry to hear that you have two dog aggressive females – they miss so much when they do not have a companion.
Spencer does have a best pal – Grendell – a ten month old 125 lb male Irish Wolfhound puppy. Grendell belongs to a co-worker of Richard’s and Neil brings him over to play as often as possible. He is so large that Spencer can walk under him but he is the gentlest boy ever – makes me think our 95 pound Airedale PJ came back as a Wolfhound. He and Spencer play great – lots of mouthing and chase but all very appropriate. We share the same vet and Dr. Lewis agrees that they are a great match by temperament.
Do keep us on your list and thank you again for all your efforts and for keeping a special eye out for a companion for our boy!
Best regards, Maureen

Morning, Maureen. I was looking through our approved people and looked back at your info. First, please accept my apology for never responding to your thoughtful email below. In my mind I did. But I’ve searched and do not find that I did.Your experience with Punkin sounds so much like our Maggie. Punkin is so fortunate that Joey recognized that she needed Molly. Your description of meeting PJ and how Punkin lit up is beautiful. You’ve been very fortunate and your Airedales have most certainly been fortunate.
Maggie stayed with her foster mom/trainer Cindy Green until May 20th and by that time, Cindy had done wonders with Maggie. She is a different dog and we placed her with a couple from WV who have a 5-y-o lab, and are continuing her training and respecting her needs. So far, it is a very good situation.
We still do not have an Airedale to fit your home. We currently have 3, a young male who was picked up as a stray in AL and is being fostered, but he is not great with other dogs. And we have 2 young females, both of whom are aggressive to other dogs. It just makes me crazy that people do not socialize and train their dogs.
I hope we can find the right one for you, Richard, and Spencer soon. Thank you for your patience and your love for Airedales.

07/24/18: Talked to Debra because she has not responded to Cindy Green re home visit tomorrow. When I called she said she had texted Cindy and told her she would call her later but she might be out of town tomorrow. She told me that she has a dental implant in the morning and was maybe going to Greenville tomorrow afternoon, but her dog Polly is sick and so she might not go to Greenville. We talked a while. I suspect, but cannot say for sure, that she was drinking. She talked on and on, repeating herself. I offered that we could do the HV next week, but she said she might still be able to do it tomorrow.
I got a good reference from her vet’s office. She keeps her animals up to date and takes really good care of them.
I’ve called her groomer but got vm.
