Snowcrest Junior High Baseball 2009-2010 Pause for Paws By Patsy Dickens “Lock my dog in a crate? How cruel!” You’d be surprised to know that your dog may actually feel safer and be happier in a crate. Not all dogs need be crate trained, especially those with separation anxiety; however, it is never too late to train your dog to be comfortable and secure in his crate. For puppies, crate training is an extremely helpful tool in housetraining and in preventing destructive behavior. Choose a crate in which your dog can stand, turn around and lie down. If you are selecting a crate for your puppy, you may wish to invest in one that can be divided into smaller compartments but able to expand as the puppy grows (a puppy/dog will not soil their beds; however, if the crate is too large, the puppy will find a corner to do its business). Go slow. Gradually introduce your dog to the crate over a period of several days. Introducing your dog too quickly can cause fear or panic. Help your dog want to go into the crate by tossing treats and toys inside. You may also feed your dog his meals in the crate for a day or so. Your goal is to convince your dog that the crate is not a scary but welcoming. Put your dog in the crate with you in sight.

Wasatch Back is the company’s original event, created by Utah natives Dan Hill and Tanner Bell. Hill’s father had a dream of creating a running relay in the Wasatch Mountains, which Dan and childhood friend Tanner Bell turned into a reality in 2004. Wasatch Back will cover 188 miles of Utah’s most beautiful terrain. The race begins in Logan where runners will traverse through the gentle rolling hills of Cache Valley. Once through the valley, there will be a steady climb through the Avon Pass followed by a steep downhill into Ogden Valley. Overall, runners will journey up and down in elevation through canyons and the Wasatch Mountains. Once runners reach Guardsman Pass, they will steeply descend into Park City and to the finish line at The Canyons 5 Star Resort. Each leg of a Ragnar Race varies in difficulty so elite and novice runners can run together in teams. Each team is responsible for providing two support vehicles with six runners in each vehicle. The first vehicle drops off the first runner and drives ahead to the first exchange point. Teams repeat this pattern for six legs until they hand off to their second vehicle. This leapfrogging pattern continues day and night all the way to the much anticipated finish line. This year, Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back has named the American Cancer Society (ACS) the official race charity. The relay will raise money and create awareness of the disease, all while encouraging participants to get healthy and stay healthy. The race will be held Friday, June 18 through Saturday, June 19. Teams will be running with humorous costumes, wigs, and decorative vans— all while cheering on teammates. The race will begin at ICON Health & Fitness from 5:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on June 18. ICON Health & Fitness is located at 1500 S. 1000 W. in Logan, Utah. The race will end at The Canyons Resort from 9:30 a.m. through 8:00 p.m. on June 19. The Canyons is located at 4000 Canyons Resort Drive in Park City, Utah.

Let your dog out, but don’t fuss over her. Repeat for a few minutes longer. Give your dog plenty of free time in between. Work up to crating your dog for about 20 minutes, but keep the crate near you. Crate your dog for less than 20 minutes while you are doing other things around the house. Come back into the room frequently so your dog knows you are nearby, ignore him, and then walk away again. Slowly stay out of sight longer without increasing the total time your dog is crated beyond 20 minutes. Only then should you begin practicing crating times longer than 20 minutes. You can also try crating your dog overnight, but the crate should be moved to your bedroom. Crating should be a short-term management and training tool, and not a way of life. Your dog should never be left in a crate for more than a couple of hours (except over night), and should have plenty of exercise in between. Crates used inside a vehicle or bed of a truck provide safe travel for your dog, and gives them a secure place to reside in the car. However, remember, summer is there and it’s getting hot; never leave your pet inside your car unattended!
