Two Canine Camps are scheduled consisting of one hour sessions for four days in a row. These Canine Camps will be both fun and educational for local dog owners; and, because of the summer break, children are encouraged to come with their parents to learn about training their dogs.

Through games and activities, the dogs will learn the basics: sit, stay, down, come, walking on a loose leash, etc.  They will also learn good manners while socializing with other dogs and people.

Family members will learn how to shape desirable behaviors while eliminating unwanted ones, by using positive and humane techniques. Beyond this, they will learn how best to communicate with their dogs; and how to work together to build a happy, long-lasting relationship, and become the dog's natural leader.

Children especially can benefit greatly from these camps.  The Humane Society of the United States estimates that over 2 million children are bitten by dogs each year - 80% by canines the children know or interact with regularly.  

Dogs view the children in their family pack as siblings, and love to interact with them the same way they do with other dogs:  chasing, tackling, mouthing and pawing.  These dogs need to be taught that children are not their play toys, they are their leaders.  In order to do that, children need to take responsibility for some of the care of their dogs, by feeding, walking, grooming - and especially training.  

Children also need to be taught good manners while around their dogs.  They should respect their dogs, and handle them gently and kindly.  They should never pull their dogs' tails, hit or kick them, or poke and pester them.   Running and screaming around their dogs should also be avoided because these behaviors can arouse the dogs even more, often causing them to lunge and bite.

Training your dog is a family affair. Every member of your household should learn the training techniques and participate in your dog's education. The more every family member knows, the better behaved your dog will be!

The opening reception for A Day in the Life of Lincolnville Through the Eyes of Children will take place on Tuesday, August 3, 2010 at 8:00a.m. before the St. Johns County Board of Commissions meeting in the County Administration building located at 500 San Sebastian View.

The mission of the Cyprian Center of Expressive Arts is to bring art and art programming to the Lincolnville community. In keeping with this mission, the Cyprian Center applied for and received a grant from the Crisp Ellert Fund for a project titled, A Day in the Life of Lincolnville Through the Eyes of Children.

The exhibit will feature 20 photographs and 7 paintings portraying the Lincolnville neighborhood as seen by the area’s children. Noted local photographer, Justin Itnyre gave direction to the budding photographers while local art instructor, Corrie Borglund helped them channel their inner Picasso. The artists range in age from 11 to16 years old. Their work will be published in a book by the same title later this year. 

The Cyripan Center for Expressive Arts Songs in Sign Ensemble, a group of youngsters from  6 to 14 years old, will perform at 8:30a.m.for the August 3 opening.  Their program will include the songs   America , What a Wonderful World, and You've Got a Friend in Me.  

The St. Johns County Administration building is located at 500 San Sebastian View in St. Augustine , just south of the County’s Lewis Speedway complex. The exhibit is available for public viewing   weekdays between 8:00a.m. and 5:00p.m. 

Every Tuesday head down to Anchor Boutique at 210 St. George Street for their weekly 'Sip and Shop' event from 6:00pm -9:00pm. Each week will feature a fashion designer, free refreshments, and a great evening for a girls night out!

Private Problem-solving Sessions will be available at SAHS every other Tuesday, beginning Tuesday, August 3rd, from 9:00am to Noon (also Aug. 17th and Aug. 31st).  Behavior problems are one of the top reasons dogs are given up to shelters, so by offering this valuable service to the community, SAHS hopes to keep canines in their homes.  A1A Trainers can help dog owners solve a wide range of canine behavior issues, including but not limited to: 

• Aggression toward family members, strangers, other animals 

• Separation anxiety 

• Shyness, fears, and phobias 

• Excessive behavior, jumping, biting, destructive chewing 

• Dog-to-dog and dog-to-cat household issues 

• Housetraining and other elimination issues

Private Problem-solving Sessions last one hour and cost $40.  To make an appointment, call 904-829-2737 or email:  info@staughumane.org.
