271 MAIN STREET, DOWNTOWN GREAT BARRINGTON

In the battle against breast cancer, early detection is a woman’s most powerful weapon. In fact, according to the National Cancer Institute, when breast cancer is detected in an early, localized stage, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent. That’s why it is so important for all women to make breast health awareness a regular part of their healthcare routine.

Growing Awareness to Save Lives

307 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230 413-717-6277  www.calyxberkshire.com

A mammogram can detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages, and many major health organizations recommend annual mammogram screenings for women beginning at age 40. Experts also recommend clinical breast exams and breast self-exams to check for breast abnormalities on a regular basis.

Any woman noticing unusual changes in her breasts should contact her healthcare provider immediately. Women of all ages should speak to their doctor about his or her personalized recommendations for breast cancer screening.

For more information about breast cancer prevention, early detection and support for a cure, please visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation online at www.nationalbreastcancer.org.

Try positive reinforcement when addressing pets’ behavioral issues What can pet owners do when their pets exhibit unwanted behaviors, such as damaging furniture or jumping up on people? The first instinct may be to yell or punish the pet by being cross with him or her. However, many animal behaviorists believe that positive reinforcement training is the most effective way to address pets’ behavioral issues.

Positive reinforcement training, according to The Humane Society of the United States, utilizes rewards for desired behaviors. The reward, whether it is a treat, praise, toys, or anything the pet finds rewarding, will eventually get the pet to repeat the behavior that earned him or her that reward. Rather than punishing a bad behavior, pet owners who utilize positive reinforcement reward good behaviors.

Positive reinforcement also is known as operant conditioning. It is a similar concept studied by famed Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov. When the dinner bell rang, Pavlov’s dogs salivated. The American Kennel Club says that was classical conditioning because the dogs salivated involuntarily. However, operant training conditioning is when dogs learn to associate their behavior with certain results, all the while learning there are good and bad outcomes. The goal is to increase behaviors with pleasant consequences, such as receiving a reward. Experts say that by focusing on the positive, pet owners will see fewer side effects than negative punishment training, such as aggression, fear, anxiety, and avoidance.

Timing is the key to positive reinforcement training. The reward must occur immediately after the desired behavior or the pet may not associate it with the proper action. So if the dog sits, then the reward has to come as soon as it gets on the floor. If the reward comes when he has stood back up, then the pooch may think the reward is for standing.

When practicing positive reinforcement, keep commands short and training sessions brief so that dogs can understand before they get restless.

Dogs don’t understand sentences, says HSUS, and they will lose interest if sessions are too long. Consistency also is essential. Each person interacting with the pet should use the same commands and cues to achieve the desired result, which is a well-behaved pet.

It may take time for a pet to acclimate to commands and training. But with patience, positive reinforcement can be effective. PE21B442

OCTOBER IS ADOPT A SHELTER DOG MONTH!!

In celebration, Berkshire Humane Society is taking $50 off the adoption fee of each dog adopted this month.

!

Pet o f t h e We e k

If you would like to meet Gina call the Berkshire Humane Society shelter today!

GINA Gina is a 6-year-old spayed treeing Walker coonhound/beagle mix. She’s a goofy, energetic, and sweet girl looking for someone to take her on adventures. She loves to go for walks and romp around the pen. In typical coonhound fashion, she can be quite loud, so a home setting would be best for her. She lived in a home with other dogs and did well so she could possibly live with another dog. Respectful children older than eight years old would be OK, too, but no kitty cats please as she has a bit of a prey drive.

If you are interested in Gina, please call Berkshire Humane Society at 413-447-7878, extension 126.
