    I started my career with dogs as a Los Angeles Police Officer, decoying several of their dogs, and being used for Search purposes. They used me because for some reason their dogs loved to bite, and find me. After I retired from LAPD, I was hired by the City of Long Beach, as an Animal Control, where I was given my own shift, and worked with Emergency calls, Cruelty Complaints, and Injured Dogs. • It was during this time I finished my bachelors in Philosophy at Cal State Long Beach, and • Started purchasing, training, and placing an American Pit Bull Terrier, every week. • I also became involved with the Golden State, and the Southern California Pit Bull Club(s). • I also operated a Gymnastics Clinic (Something I had done since my sophomore year in high school WITH THE Whittier YMCA, and sent two students to the Olympics). • During this time I read every book printed I could find on Dog Training, including the works of Dr. Michael Fox (about wild dogs), and Dr. William Campbell, The American Veterinarian Association's 35 year chosen Psychologist, (DOGS AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS), and went on to contact him, and corroborate my dog training, using his Psychology. • I entered the "CAREER FOR DOG TRAINERS" WITH Steve Cobb, (a self-proclaimed national AKC Obedience Champion, from Miami Florida, and out of some 5000 students finished in first place. • I quit Animal Control and went into Professional Dog Training the day I graduated from the School, (June 15th, 1978). • I started protection training, working with Soren Paulson (along with Bob Eden) of the Long Beach Police Department, using their Police K9 dogs to learn how to decoy. • I went on to train with Serveral different Departments throughout Southern California. • I quickly became the top In-Home Dog Trainer in California. • In 1985 I created Orange Counties first Licensed Dog Training Facility. • I was elected the Vice President of the Orange County Commercial Kennel Owners Association. • I also became the Orange County Dog Behaviorist with Administrative Chief Ron Hudson, and Director Lyn Liberio. • In 1986 I was Honored as the California State Superior Court K9 Expert for my work helping to create the Dangerous Dog Laws. • As such I also became a consultant for the Southern California Animals Control Officers Association, and the Southern California Police K9 Officers Association. • I n 1987 we began competing in SCHUTZHUND...

      Caregivers with Paws - Bob Taylor

      Introduction

      Caregiving for those individuals with Dementia related behaviors has become a major social consideration around the world. I have researched Dementia through University Courses of Instruction, and studied information as reported by the world’s leading research facilities. I have become overwhelmingly convinced that, based on the actual physiology of those with Dementia, a properly trained and Certified Dementia Service Dog is:

      • Able to greatly enhance the present caregiver’s ability to care for the affected person more responsibly and comprehensively

      • Able to preserve the dignity of those affected with Dementia, increasing their ability to function at home and socially, safely, and more comfortably.

      • Able to understand and respond to the needs of those affected by Dementia beyond that of a human caretaker.

      As will be illustrated and shown to the reader throughout this writing, there are several different areas, as well as specific issues and situations where the services and performance of a trained Service Dog are now only capable of enhancing the ability to provide for the caregiving, dignity, and functionality of a person affected by Dementia, but have been proven to be essential to those abilities as well. There are several reasons that will be presented to the reader, showing the validity of such an investment.

      Just because of their superior ability to help in many areas with someone that has Dementia, it doesn’t mean that an intelligent and supervising effort from a human counterpart isn’t necessary, because it is. There are some areas where our abilities are indispensable. However, there are different areas of caregiving where a trained Dementia Service Dog can be far superior to even a human. Due to the exact physiological cause and expression of this disease in the mind of the affected person, a trained Dementia Service Dog has a much stronger capacity to understand, respond, and in many ways provide the care that person needs, than a human being does.

      LONG TERM CARE AND SERVICE DOGS

      There are important considerations that many individuals are now facing earlier, and earlier. Based on recent statistics, ten million Americans suffer from the progressive disorders caused by Dementia. One in four adults is now involved in caregiving for someone with a Dementia related disease. In looking for answers for your caregiving needs, what you need to look for and consider are reasonable answers that will protect you. You need to consider all the costs, and programs they represent, and how they will affect the quality of your life:

      • Financially

      • Mentally and emotionally

      • And physically.

      CAN INSURANCE TAKE CARE OF YOU?

      After 20 years of care taking for her mother, my wife decided to get involved in pre-planning for her future. At 39 years-of-age my wife decided to start a Long term Care Insurance program, and paid $125.00 for three months for the
