SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 28, 2012 (Press-News.org) Canine Dimensions, a dog training company founded in 1996 with offices in 11 states, has introduced a new dog swimming program for dog owners in Colorado. Working with canines and their owners throughout the Denver metropolitan region, there are two goals for the program: One, to make it a positive experience so the dogs will want to swim; Two, if the dogs find themselves in a pool, to have them know how to use the stairs to get out. That's how a lot of dogs drown, because they get too tired and are unable to find a way out of the pool or body of water.
Audi Cox, a dog trainer in Denver with Canine Dimensions, says, "It may surprise you, but not all dogs are good swimmers. In fact, it's estimated that thousands of dogs in the U.S. die each year because they haven't been properly trained."
The dog swimming training program ensures that each dog feels comfortable in the beginning of the program by making them wear lifejackets. Some dogs don' t like water in their ear so the program also provides swim caps to keep water out of their ears. These swim caps are used as pointers and area a great distraction for dogs. Additional tools such as tennis balls are also used during the training sessions to attract the dogs into the water.
The dog trainers at Canine Dimensions suggest pet owners train their dog as early as possible as it is more difficult to train older dogs. The trainers also recommend that owners stay for the lessons to help ease their dog's nervousness, which will make the progress go smoother and will provide better long-term results.
About Canine Dimensions: Canine Dimensions has 11 franchise locations, including Colorado and more recently their Fort Lauderdale dog training office which opened in 2008 and has quickly become a favorite resource among veterinarians and animal rescue groups for helping owners solve their dogs' behavior problems. Furthermore, they offer dog franchise programs as well as dog training in New Jersey and dog training in Virginia.

Commercial Truck Driving While Drunk Can Spell Disaster for Others on the Road
2012-09-28
When semi trucks are involved in crashes, people can die. Most of the people that die are in smaller passenger vehicles traveling alongside the 18-wheelers. If semi truck drivers are intoxicated behind the wheel, the potential for harm is even greater. Data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that three percent of more than 10,000 fatal alcohol-related crashes in 2010 (the most recent year such data was available) were caused by commercial vehicle drivers.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) implemented special, ...

How to Enforce Texting Laws?
2012-09-28
Texting and driving is dangerous. Everyone from U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood to the local police department is shouting from the rooftops the dangers posed by texting and driving.
Nevertheless, texting is just the most recent of the laundry list of items that can distract a driver and cause a car crash. Changing radio stations, brushing one's hair, eating a hamburger from a drive-through, glancing at papers on the passenger's seat, programming your GPS, the list goes on and on.
And in Georgia, all of them are illegal if they cause driver distraction, ...
The U.S. is Behind on Reviewing Suspended Deportation Cases
2012-09-28
In August 2011, the Obama Administration announced it would review the cases of around 300,000 undocumented immigrants scheduled for deportation.
In an attempt to utilize its resources more efficiently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is focusing on deporting undocumented individuals with criminal records who are national security risks.
In fiscal 2011, the United States deported nearly 400,000 undocumented individuals but only about 55 percent had criminal records.
Though expectations were high, immigration prosecutors had only reviewed about nine percent ...
Special Considerations When Older Couples Divorce
2012-09-28
"Baby boomer divorce." "Gray divorce." "Senior-citizen divorce." "Elder divorce." Regardless of what you call it, there is an unmistakable fact about the so-called "greatest generation": older Americans are getting a lot of divorces. According to Bowling Green State University's National Center for Family & Marriage Research, the divorce rate of those 50 and older have more than doubled since 1990.
Many of those same people get remarried, something which in itself, ironically, can foreshadow more divorce. The divorce ...
