I have the same problem, my dog is fine with dogs when they are at a distance but once they get into her space she becomes defensive. Her training has improved her behavior greatly but we have set backs when we meet a dog that is not under control. She has a few best friends in the neighborhood that she loves to play with but it can be a process to get to that point. I find that it is the dogs that should be on the leash the most that tend to be aloud to run, the owners don't seem to understand that by letting there dogs charge up sets my dogs training back by a couple of weeks every time.

Our puppy loves going for long walks and we love taking him. However, taking him without a leash is out of the question. Too many cars, children on bikes, stray cats and dogs. Not to mention dog owners who take their dogs for walks leashless or leave them outside their front yard thinking that they'll stay there. I like to feel that I have control over him. My husband is the only one who has tried taking him without a leash and it is usually some place... where there aren't any distractions and at a time when nobody is around... like very early in the morning..

Thank you Kathleen for such an intelligent well written article. I have the exact same problem in my neighborhood and people just don't get it that dogs need to be leashed when they're outside!

Word. My little Yorkie thinks he's a brawler, so leashless dogs freak me out. They run up to him, all friendly, and he goes aggro and then they sometimes respond in kind ... uh, a mess, and I'm always afraid it's going to end up with him in the hospital for someone else's dumb mistake. Leash your dogs, people. If you want them to run free, move to the country and buy a ranch. Oh, you can't afford that? Well, I can't afford to have my dog put back together when your leashless mutt snaps back at him defensively when he tries to lunge and I can't get him out of the way quick enough.

Daisy is a beautiful girl, so lucky to have been adopted by great "parents" like you and John. Being on a leash can make a dog feel extra protective of its owner, and another dog (leashed or unleashed) running towards you can be perceived as a threat, sending your leashed dog into protect-the-owner mode. (This can also be a problem with small children who don't know any better coming up to your leashed dog). At least if you have your dog on a leash, you can attempt to steer him/her away from the perceived threat. But when the perceived threat is not leashed and keeps coming at your leashed dog, it is often a dog-fight waiting to happen. It is very frustrating when you cannot exercise your leashed dog without worrying about unleashed dogs coming up and sending your dog into protection mode. There are many dog parks and open spaces that are open to dogs who respond to voice-command where unleashed dogs are free to roam and play and frolic with other dogs. If you like to have your dog off-leash, please do so in areas such as these.

I completely understand your point about keeping dogs on leashes in areas that are clearly designated as requiring them. I must admit, though, that I am constantly surprised by owners who bring dog-aggressive dogs to areas that are clearly marked as off-leash areas and grow upset that other dogs are running free.
I'm with you. I don't bring Daisy to dog parks, or parks where I know dogs will be loose. We've tried going to Cheesman, with Daisy on-leash, but there are just too many loose dogs running around. It stinks, because we can't take Daisy there for walks, but I'm not going to call the cops on people playing catch with their pups.

I have a 20 lb. terrier adopted from a shelter last fall who is dog friendly and great off leash at fenced in dog parks, but barks and lunges at any dog that gets close on leashed walks out of a frustration of not being able to instantly say hi. He is in training classes to build good manners and behaviors but because of the barking and straining at the leash he comes off as aggressive to other people. I just wish that we wouldn't get so many dirty looks for daring to bring him out in public. I'm doing my best to use positive methods to modify his behavior, and try to avoid close confrontations with dogs that he can't handle yet. In the meantime he has a right to daily leashed walks, too, especially since he lives in a condo.

The same thing just happened to me yesterday. I have a skittish German Shepherd mix, and I take her for walks and do careful behavior modification with every dog (or other scarey thing) we come across. Until a crazy little yorkie/JRT mix came at us off leash, running circles around us, and lunging and barking like there was no tomorrow. Very frustrating. And we were close to a busy road. Leash laws are there for many very, very good reasons.

About a year ago, after dealing with many off-leash and/or aggressive small dogs whil walking my two (on-leash) dogs, I ordered a product from the Petsmart website which is a concentrated citronella foam spray, intended to be used as a distraction/deterrent for dogs. It costs about ten dollars.
I started carrying it with me on my walks. I often forgot to use it, but I feel better when I have it with me. The day it arrived in the mail, the owner of a dachshund in my local park dropped her leash accidentally, and the small dog came running at my dogs and actually jumped on top of my beagle mix, who had fallen on her back in surprise!
I've found it also works well to stop territorial cats from fighting. One of my cats has only to see me pick up the can now and she runs away.

As the companion to an incredibly reactive Aussie and very fearful 7# mix, I LOVE leash laws! I had lived in Florida where dogs ran free and their people looked at me like I had a problem when their dogs would approach my leashed dogs. It was very stressful for my dogs and me, so we moved back to Madison, WI where dog people seem to understand that when they are walking their dogs in the neighborhood, the dogs should be leashed. It's a city of abundant dog parks and perhaps that makes a difference. It makes it much easier to work on behavior modification with my dogs when I don't have to worry about being rushed by even the friendiest of dogs!
I think anyone who can not control their dog off leash, should not have their dog in that situation. Whether its in a fenced in dog park or in the open. Both of my dogs have issues with rude dogs approaching them when they are on leash. Yet, in an off-lead dog park, they know they can go the other way if they don't like the behavior of an oncoming dog.
On the flip side of this... there are many of us in the Denver area who have performance dogs with no place to train or condition. We can't practice our freestyle and toss and catch disc routines at the dog park. Not only do other dogs steal the discs, but it's not safe for the dogs to have to negotiate and jump over other dogs in their paths. It would be nice if there was a certain area that was allowed for dogs who are under voice control. In Boulder, you can purchase a special "off-lead tag" for your dog. I would gladly pay extra money for a tag or special privelages at a certain park.
I admit, I will occassionaly find a park or school yard to practice off-lead. However, my dogs are trained not to approach other dogs unless I give the ok...whether that dog is on leash or off. If the other dog seems to be having any issues, I always do a recall and get my dogs on leash until they pass. Unfortunately, not everyone takes the time to train their dogs appropriately and it ruins it for everyone.

HEAR! HEAR! Very well written, consise and to the point. I, too, am often bothered by loose dogs, with the owner of the loose animal too far away to do any good and no voice control over their dog. It can be a very bad situation to begin with which then only gets worse. My 5 month old Collie puppy can show all the submissive body langauge to other dogs he wants, but if the other dog does not know "dog language" it does him no good whatsoever. We have left dog parks because of loose dogs not being watched closely by their owners. We have cut walkies short because of loose dogs with no owner in sight. We have been psetered by very forward and rude loose dogs with poor body language skills whom the owner repeatedly assures me is friendly but is showing fear and aggression signals at the same time.
Oh, man. I have some stories about a lady I knew with a "friendly" Rottweiler. Holy cow, if that dog was friendly, Daisy is, too. ;)
PS: Nothing against Rotties. They're great. But this was a big, powerful dog, and there was nothing friendly about it. Somehow, the owner missed this...
Sounds like my next door neighbor who has convinced himself that his dog is snapping and snarling through the fence at mine because "she wants to come over and play". So glad I have a tall fence. I've been working with my dog and training her to ignore that poor terrified dog on the other side. Sadly his dog isn't getting the same training so she will continue freaking out whenever we are outside in our yard.
I agree, it's not fair for people who have true voice control over their dogs. The issue is people who have "voice control": "Bailey, come here! Bailey! Bailey! Bailey? Bailey, NO!" ;)
That's a good idea Boulder has there - didn't know about that.

Yes yes yes! What we need are not more dog parks, but off leash areas where dogs who are under voice control can go to play or hike or have fun with their owners or other dogs. I end up taking my dog down to our local park, off in a corner, to practice some agility stuff (I have no yard) and it's not legal off leash area, though it's sort of an unofficial area. I wish I had someplace legal to really take some equipment, set it up and do a bit of training.
I like the "off lead tag" idea. Between that and the CGC, which could enable well behaved dogs to go more public places as well, there are great solutions to WHO is allowed to do such things.
100% agree. My 100lb rescue dog likes some dogs and not others. I take great care to keep him away from dogs I know he's not okay with and I use it as a training opportunity for him. He's come a long way with training, but still doesn't like most dogs. I've had people in my neighborhood yell "don't worry, she's friendly" when their off-lead canine comes trotting across the street. I too yell back "mine's not". Of course the human then comes running after their dog, so now there is not only a dog coming at my dog but also a mildly-frantic running human. Not a good situation. My dog is the sweetest thing but some dogs just set him off in a bad way. And often the dog that is coming toward us just crossed a street to get to us. I'm afraid one of them is going to get hit by a car some day.
Not only should dogs be leashed, but using a solid leash, rather than a RETRACTABLE leash is necessary. 6 years ago, I was at the dog park, when suddenly I found a 35 pound dog and a 16 foot retractable leash wrapped around both my ankles. The dog was at one end while the owner tugged at the other end. I almost lost my left foot. The cord, which felt much like piano wire, had cut through my flesh and close to my ankle bone. I still have major scarring around my left ankle. These leashes provide absolutely no owner control of the dog when they are excited and chasing balls or other dogs.
Oh, my gosh. That is horrible. I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not a fan of retractable leashes myself. My parents' Lab (who's one of Daisy's pals, by the way) was attacked by a St. Bernard last year. The gigantic dog was being walked on a retractable leash. I can understand using them for little toy dogs, but a St. Bernard? Everyone was OK, no serious harm was done, but it could have been much worse.
Our dog Bart felt it was his job to protect us from other dogs especially since a dog came through bushes and tore his shoulder open when he was a pup. When we lived in the city we had constant problems with tough guys that ket there dogs follow them in a pack unleashed. Bart bite the tongue of a pit that approacjed him to play. The owner's remark was "It's ok. Now my dog will lean not to approach dogs" yeah for the Dog morons in life. It wasn't fair to his sweet Pitty nor our dog.
This is a wonderful and well written article. I also have a dog aggressive dog who loves people and can't get enough cuddle time, but goes crazy any time we run into another dog.
The County I live in has a leash law, but there are those in my condo complex that seem to feel it doesn't apply to them. I often find myself having to step in the middle of my dog and the unleashed dog. It can be exhausting to go on walks and I have actually had to figure out which neighbors walk their dogs without leashes and when, so we can try to avoid them.
I was very happy to read this and know there are others that feel the same way I do. I would love to have a dog I was comfortable letting off her leash, in the appropriate areas, but I don't and I really get frustrated with those that do not follow the rules, and assume that all dogs are friendly. I find myself saying, "sorry she isn't friendly" far too often.
The worst is when you say "sorry, not friendly" and the owner suddenly looks at you like you've got Cujo at the end of your leash and snatches up their off-leash dog. *Cue horrified gasp*
Or when they don't understand that the niceness of their dog has nothing to do with it, and then act all huffy and offended. It's like, "No, it's OK, your precious Snowflake is just fine. It's my dog that's being a jerk here, and I don't want Snowflake to get a beatdown."

I know EXACTLY how it feels! I've had two dog aggressive dogs; the latest being a 150 lb. Great Dane. It's terrifying for me when a leashless dog runs up to us. Luckily, it hasn't happened that often since my dog has at least 30 lbs on me and "4 wheel drive!"
Thanks for the awesome article. I can only hope that the people who really need to read it actually do.
I'm totally with you! And my feisty fido is a Daisy too :-) She's come a long way with Click to Calm & the Control Unleashed program but she does not want to greet strange offleash dogs. I am an unabashed yeller: "leash your dog NOW. This is NOT an offleash area." Project the voice from deep within the diaphragm and don't be bashful :-)
It frequently is the people with the most untrained dogs who let them offleash. They've never taught them to not pull on leash, and the owners just take the easy way out & unclip them to let them run.
Bottom line is that if you can't keep your dog by your side, and recall them from dogs/cats/squirrels/toddlers eating ice cream in strollers, then you need to keep the dog on leash except on private property or designated offleash parks.
If both parties are equally responsible for their dog, this type of confrontation would never happen. There are two ways to avoid such a confrontation, laws or no laws, leash or no leash. 1st: Any dog that has ever threatened to bite another dog or person, should wear a muzzle when out in public, every time, period. In addition to preventing injuries, this gives others a visual cue to stear clear--no questions need be asked. 2nd: Dogs, off-leash or not, should simply not be allowed to greet strange (unknown) dogs without permission, unless perhaps the body language of both dogs makes it very clear they are friendly and happy to meet (this takes a number of years to learn, as some playful-looking behavior--stiff tail wags, stiff crouching, for eg.-- can in fact indicate aggression in some cases). The dog should be called to return to their owners or commanded to sit and wait until they get confirmation from the other party that the dog is friendly and they get the "free" command to go and greet.

"Any dog that has ever threatened to bite another dog or person, should wear a muzzle when out in public, every time, period."
Threatening to bite is not actually biting. It is perfectly normal and acceptable dog communication - letting everyone know that the dog is very uncomfortable with the situation. This does not necessitate a muzzle. Neither does a dog that gets in physical arguments that do not result in broken skin. The dog should be conditioned to be more comfortable with the situation through positive training. But muzzling the dog is not an appropriate action, and does not actually address the problem.

Yes, muzzles are great tools to have an aggressive dog safely in public. My dog was bit by a chihuahua who just ran up to him at the dog park a couple weeks ago. The bite did not do any damage, but after it happened the owner admitted that his dog was dog-aggressive and pulled a muzzle out of his pocket and put it on. While it was a tiny dog, I was still annoyed that a dog that is known to be aggressive and bite only wore a muzzle at the dog park AFTER biting my dog.
A leash law does nothing to prevent injuries. A friend of mine and I were both bit on separate occasions by different *leashed* dogs. In both cases we were just walking by. A muzzle is the only thing that would have helped in these cases. Aggressive dogs should wear muzzles at all times when out in public.

I have two dogs that I adopted from the shelter. They are very friendly with kids and adults but with other dogs not so much. I am find with this and I give them plenty of walks and love but there are times when people with thier off leash dogs approach and I tell them to stay away..I feel like I'm the bad person.
Leash laws mean different things.
Not every place has to have the same rules.

I am so glad to see the article and to see that so many others agree. I to always feel like the bad person, or like i have a "defective dog", when this issue comes up. In reality, although many dogs are friendly to other dogs, it is not necessarily "normal" for dogs. Dogs are often protective and territorial with dogs outside their known circle. I have two very different dogs, both lab mixes, who I walk seperately each day. One is dog-agressive (though she ignores other leashed dogs if they are not in her personal space) and the other is very, very sweet, and so timid and gentle that he is easily traumatized by 'scary dogs'. When he is politely standing behind me and leaning hard against my leg with wide, frightened eyes, it makes me so angry that people let their rude off leash dogs continue to try to "make friends" with him. And when I say "He's afraid of your dogs", they answer "oh, they are friendly, they won't hurt him." That may be true, but it is my job to read my dog's reaction and my job to keep him safe and secure. And all the time I'm feeling thankful that it is him and not my other dog that I"m walking, or we would have a dog fight on our hands.... I think if people want their dogs to enjoy off-leash time, they should take them to a dog park or invest the time and money into training them to have a rock solid recall. My dogs are never off leash and they are happy and well-excercised.

I have a muzzle for my dog-agressive dog, but I do worry that if another agressive dog approached us (we have one in the neighborhood who wanders) and attacked her, she would be unable to defend herself while muzzled. I really feel like I should be able to walk my well behaved, under control dog with a reasonable expectation that our personal space will be respected.
My sister recently moved into a neighborhood where everyone seems to let their dogs run free. She has a super dog friendly pit bull, who loves all other dogs, but sadly, IF for ANY reason he ever gets into a fight with another dog, even defending himself, it is very likely that he could be blamed for the fight because of his breed. She is not willing to take any chances and he is always leashed.

Currently resident in Berlin, Germany I'm not absolutely sure whether there is only leash requirements in parks (these are posted, so that much I know) or if the law also requires leash usage on the streets (as is the case in Stockholm, Sweden) -- but I do know for a fact that the dogs here are much less aggressive and much more easy-going with other canines as well as humans. In Stockholm, where almost 99% dog owners abide by the leash law, dog aggressiveness is much more severe. Can it be that here, where everyone takes a dog walk leash-free, the dogs are "socialized" into a more friendly behaviour from the start?
Submitted by Anonymous | April 15 2011 | Permalink
Interesting point of view, maybe you are right. I know that my dog's frustration and lunging at other dogs only happens when he is physically restrained (like on a leash). When he is allowed off leash at dog parks, that behavior completely disappears as he is free to socialize with the other dogs on his terms.
Also, at the dog daycare he attends while we work (urban dog with no yard) I've been told that many dogs bark at other dogs on the leash, but are fine off leash in the facility.

This article really hit home. My wife and I walk at a park with lots of hilly, narrow trails. Leash signs are clearly posted and we always see dogs not on leashes. Same old story-"don't worry my dog is friendly". These are the same folks (I'm assuming) who don't use turn signals-its not safe and you don't know where they are going!

Love this article and all the comments.
I have a reactive dog as well she walks nicely and is always under control but she is not comfortable with dogs jumping on her/coming up to her and will react aggressively (mostly hot air as she has never injured another dog)and is always leashed. Unfortunately, because of the huge number of offleash dogs in all the beautiful parks around me (despite the presence of fenced, clearly marked OFF LEASH areas)we have been BANISHED to side walk walking. We are not even safe here and have had dogs run up to us on busy sidewalks.
It fills me with anger...the offleash areas sit mostly empty while the parks are covered in poop and offleash dogs run amok. And no they are not "all friendly."
Why should I be forced out of parks and my dog have grassy spaces unavailable to her?Or muzzle her? She's well behaved and under control and I just want to take her for a peaceful walk in the supposedly "leash mandatory" areas.

I know this article is from 2011, but I am just seeing it for the first time and wanted to thank the author for sharing this well-written perspective. I'm in the exact same situation, except that I know exactly what caused my dog's dog-agression - an OFF-LEASH dog.
My dog was attacked while on a leash by an unrestrained dog (a supposedly friendly laborador retriever) and for that reason it is now extremely stressful for both her and I to be in the vicinity of any off-leash dog. That incident cost me over two thousand dollars in veterinarian bills and left her with 200 stitches, several drain tubes, and a strong fear of other animals that she previously did not have. The other dog did not have a collar and so it took a long time to separate the two dogs. My pup is a pit bull-type dog (maybe - not exactly sure) but previously had been dog friendly and submissive so did not really fight back at all. Now she is extremely fear aggressive of all other dogs despite expensive efforts to help that. I would give anything to prevent that suffering from happening again to her or any other dog. Suffice it to say, it has turned that part of my life into an extremely stressful one, every single day.
Fortunately, all it takes to prevent that is for people to comply with existing leash laws. Unfortunately, an astonishing number of people simply can't be bothered to do that! I live near an enclosed dog park, but even then, people would rather break the law than go out of their way to take their dog play in a safely enclosed space. It's infuriating. And of course, if you politely ask them to leash their dog, the response ranges from being ignored to being told to F-off to having your life threatened.
Listen up, Silver Spring, Maryland -- I'm going to stand up for my dog and do what it takes to keep her safe. I'm not going to be afraid to leave my house and deprive her of the leash walks that she needs to stay healthy. I'm going to start wearing a front and back video camera every time I walk her on a leash. So when your off-leash dog comes over and violates the law, there will be evidence of your criminal act, and I will press for the maximum fine. And there will be evidence that any dog fight was your fault, and you'll be responsible for your vet bills and for mine. I'm an attorney and am fluent in the relevant laws. I have a breakstick, spray, a cell phone with the police on speed dial, and am thinking of getting a permit to carry a visible handgun (not for the dogs, but I'm tired of having violence threatened against me by people whom I've politely asked to leash their dog).
My sympathy and support goes out to everyone in this situation. Let's work for stronger penalties and strict enforcement, for the safety of all dogs.

Kathleen--my sympathies. We have a former shelter dog who is the same, and having had another wonderful dog in the past who was NOT leash aggressive, it has been a hard adjustment. But the dog that we have now is good in the house, and we do what we can to make things better for everyone when we take her on walks. We live in an area now that doesn't even allow leashed dogs in parks--not that I would take our dog there--but it seems pretty harsh. We resign ourselves to walking on sidewalks in our neighborhood.

Positive Thinking With Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Topic Overview
What is positive thinking?
Positive thinking, or healthy thinking, is a way to help you stay well or cope with a health problem by changing how you think. It's based on research that shows that you can change how you think. And how you think affects how you feel.
If you think in a positive way, you may be more able to care for yourself and handle life's challenges. You will feel better. And you may be more able to avoid or cope with stress, anxiety, and depression.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy, also called CBT, is a therapy that is often used to help people think in a healthy way. It focuses on thought (cognitive) and action (behavioral). Studies have shown that CBT can help people sleep better and help them lose weight.1, 2 It also can help treat depression and keep it from returning.3
CBT can help you notice the discouraging thoughts that make you feel bad. These thoughts are sometimes called irrational or automatic thoughts. Using CBT, you can learn to stop these thoughts and replace them with helpful thoughts.
Healthy thinking also involves calming your mind and body. You can use one or more techniques. These may include meditation, yoga, muscle relaxation, or guided imagery.
Many people work with a therapist or a counselor to learn CBT. But you also can practice healthy thinking on your own.
How does CBT help you think in a healthy way?
CBT involves techniques that you can practice every day so that healthy thinking comes naturally. For example: Maybe you're upset about a job review at work. Your boss praised several things about your work. But you're feeling down because she had one small criticism. You might even think, "I'm no good at my job" or "She doesn't like me. I must be bad."
Focusing on only the bad and not the good is an example of negative or distorted thinking. You can teach yourself to watch for negative thinking. You can ask yourself how true or helpful your thoughts were. "What did my boss say exactly?" "Were there positive comments?" "Why do I focus only on one criticism?"
You can learn to see that the harsh things you say to yourself may keep you from enjoying your life and work. With time and practice, you can learn to tell yourself more accurate and helpful statements. You might say, "I've done a lot of good work this year, and my boss noticed it. She thought there was one area I can improve. So I'll think of some things I can do to get stronger in that area."
CBT combines several ways to help you change how you think:
Although you can use CBT on your own, it's important to talk to your doctor or a counselor if you have symptoms of depression or feel that your mood is getting worse.
How can you get started doing CBT on your own?
Learn to stop discouraging yourself with negative thoughts:
Learn how to use positive thinking to prevent or treat some health problems:
Learn how to lower your stress:
How can a counselor help with CBT? How do you find one?
If you work with a counselor or a therapist, he or she can coach you to do CBT methods on your own.
There is no special license to show that a counselor has trained in CBT. You need to ask about a counselor's knowledge of CBT.
Try to find two or three counselors who are licensed by your state. Ask your doctor and family or close friends if they can recommend someone. Licensed counselors may have a doctorate (a Ph.D.) in psychology or a master's degree in social work or counseling.
You can call the counselors for a brief phone interview. Ask them if they have training in CBT and if they use it often.
Pick the counselor you feel most comfortable with.

Hi! I am Jessica Martin and I have been providing some parenting posts the last month or so. I have been a school psychologist for going on seven years and I am lucky to say that I absolutely love what I do! For five years I worked in a traditional school setting and for the past year I have worked in the virtual school setting. While I don't have as much face to face student contact with what I am currently doing, I have enjoyed the opportunity to work with families who would prefer to educate their child at home. I have found that my expertise is just as useful and have been able to assist numerous families understand their child better and obtain services they needed. If you have concerns about your school-age child's learning, behavior, social skills, or general functioning, your local school psychologist can be a great resource for you. Every public school district has one! The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has explained very well what a school psychologist is and how they can be of benefit to you. For that information, keep reading...

Where School Psychologists Work
The majority of school psychologists work in schools. However, they can practice in a variety of settings including:
- Public and private schools
- Universities
- School-based health and mental health centers
- Community-based day-treatment or residential clinics and hospitals
- Juvenile justice centers
- Private practice
How do School Psychologists make a difference in schools?
All children and adolescents face problems from time to time. They may:
- Feel afraid to go to school
- Have difficulty organizing their time efficiently
- Lack effective study skills
- Fall behind in their school work
- Lack self-discipline
- Worry about family matters such as divorce and death
- Feel depressed or anxious
- Experiment with drugs and alcohol
- Think about suicide
- Worry about their sexuality
- Face difficult situations, such as applying to college, getting a job, or quitting school
- Question their aptitudes and abilities
School psychologists help children, parents, teachers, and members of the community understand and resolve these concerns. Following are examples of how school psychologists make a difference.
Helping Students With Learning Problems
Tommy's parents were concerned about his difficulty reading and writing. They feared that he would fall behind and lose confidence in himself. In school the teacher noticed that Tommy often struggled to understand what he was reading and often needed the help of his classmates to do related written work. After observing Tommy, consulting with his teacher, and gathering specific information about his skills, the school psychologist collaborated with his parents and teachers to develop a plan to improve his reading and writing. The plan worked, and Tommy's reading, writing, and confidence as a learner improved.
Helping Students Cope With Family and Life Stressors
The teacher noticed that Carla, an able student, had stopped participating in class discussions and had difficulty paying attention. The school psychologist was asked to explore why Carla's behavior had changed so much. After discovering that Carla's parents were divorcing, the school psychologist provided counseling for Carla and gave her parents suggestions for this difficult time. Carla's behavior and emotional wellbeing improved, and she felt more secure about her relationship with her parents.
Helping Students With Behavior Problems Learn New Ways to Respond
David was a high school student who often skipped class and got into fights with others. He acted out in class and had been suspended from school on various occasions. After establishing a relationship with David, the school psychologist taught him simple techniques to relax, recognize his needs, and to control his aggressive behavior. David's mother and his teacher worked together on a plan designed by the school psychologist to establish limits, recognize David's escalating tension, and improve communication. David's relationships with peers and adults improved and he began to make steady progress towards graduation.

Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
GENERIC NAME: estradiol
BRAND NAME: Alora, Climara, Delestrogen, Depo-Estradiol, Divigel, Elestrin, Estrace, Estrasorb, Estrogel, Evamist, Femring, Menostar, Minivelle, Vivelle, Vivelle-Dot
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Estrogen is one of the major female hormones, the other one being progesterone. Estrogens occur in nature in several chemical forms. In women with active menstrual cycles, the ovaries produce between 70 and 500 micrograms of estradiol daily. This is converted to estrone and to a lesser extent estriol. After menopause, estrone made in the adrenal glands, is the most active circulating estrogen. Estrogens cause growth and development of female sex organs and maintain sex characteristics, including underarm and pubic hair and the shape of body contours and skeleton. Estrogens also increase secretions from the cervix and growth of the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). Estrogens reduce LDL-cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) and increase HDL-cholesterol ("good" cholesterol) concentrations in the blood. Estrogens, when taken alone or in combination with a progestin (progesterone), have been shown to reduce the risk for hip fracture due to osteoporosis by 25%.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Estradiol is available in several forms.
STORAGE: All forms of estradiol should be stored between 15 C (59 F) and 30 C (86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Estradiol is prescribed for symptomatic treatment of the usual symptoms associated with menopause (hot flashes, vaginal burning or dryness, etc.). Prevention of bone fractures associated with osteoporosis, and dysfunctional (excessive and painful) uterine bleeding. The vaginal cream is prescribed for vaginal or vulvar atrophy associated with menopause. Estradiol also is prescribed for breast cancer and, in some cases prostate cancer.
DOSING: The dose of estradiol can vary depending on the condition that is being treated. Estradiol tablets are given daily or they can be prescribed to be taken in a cyclic regimen, wherein estradiol is given daily for 3 weeks followed by 1 week of no medication, after which the cycle resumes. The tablets can also be given more than once a day for some conditions. The topical gel or the topical emulsions are applied to the skin daily at the same time. The vaginal ring is inserted in the vagina and left without removal for 3 months at a time. The intramuscular dose and the frequency it is given can differ depending on the product.
The adhesive part of patches should be applied to a dry, hairless, clean part of the trunk, but not on the breasts. It should not be placed onto irritated or damaged skin. Sites of application should be rotated, with at least one week between repeated applications to any one site. The patch should be applied immediately after removing the protective layer, and pressure should be applied to the patch when it is attached for about 10 seconds.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Estrogens can inhibit the metabolism of cyclosporine, resulting in increased cyclosporine blood levels. Such increased blood levels can result in kidney and/or liver damage. If this combination cannot be avoided, cyclosporine concentrations can be monitored, and the dose of cyclosporine can be adjusted to assure that its blood levels are not elevated.
Estrogens appear to increase the risk of liver disease in patients receiving dantrolene through an unknown mechanism. Women over 35 years of age and those with a history of liver disease are especially at risk. Estrogens increase the liver's ability to manufacture clotting factors. Because of this, patients receiving warfarin (Coumadin) need to be monitored for loss of anticoagulant (blood thinning) effect if an estrogen is added when warfarin is already being taken.

This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day for you six days per week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit, individually served.
On the chalet hosts' day off, they will prepare a Continental style breakfast for you, which will be left for you to help yourselves, and that evening you have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants – our resort team will be happy to provide some suggestions.

Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.A special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests.

"Do not judge lest you be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you" Matthew 7:1-2 NASB
This verse is often quoted out of context, creating a wrong interpretation and misunderstanding of what Jesus is teaching. Looking at the whole passage, this verse is not a prohibition against judging what is right or wrong.

A killer roamed the streets for almost three decades, but thanks to a homicide detective in Highland Park, that wanted man was captured and will never be back on the streets again.William Lyles, Junior was recently sentenced to life in prison without parole, and a family finally got justice after their loved one was murdered."He called on the phone, and he said that if it was the last thing he was going to do, he was going to get Melvin," said witness Melissa Kountz.She was 13 years old and will never forget the threat or what happened next. Her 28-year-old cousin was brutally murdered by Lyles, her mother's abusive boyfriend, while he slept at their home in Highland Park.Police said the planning that went into the murder was methodical. The killer slipped in through a basement window. He wore sponges on his shoes so he wouldn't be heard. He even stuck the dog in the freezer.That little puppy would die in the deep freezer, and Melvin Weathers would die that night, too. The killer removed a fuse from the fuse box killing the electricity, took the phone off the hook and silently crept upstairs in the pitch black."We had a Fingerhut butcher block set that was in the kitchen where he took a knife out for everyone in the house," Kountz explained.While she and her sister, Kimberly, and their mother slept, Lyles made good on his threat."He put a pillow over his face and stabbed him in the chest lung. Melvin got up and struggled," Kountz said. "When he was taking his last breath, that was something that I will never forget."Kountz, her sister and mother ran to a neighbor's house, returning with police and flashlights."I could see Melvin [lying] in the threshold of the bedroom where he was killed," she said. "The look that I saw in his eyes haunted me forever."Lyles hid out, left the state and was on the run for decades, then last year Kountz called Highland Park Detective Paul Thomas, a former homicide detective with Detroit Police. She had a list of relatives and possible addresses for Lyles. Thomas started investigating, and last summer found him sitting on his parents' porch in Oak Park."I remember Melissa calling back saying that she got a chill up her spine because that was him, even though a significant amount of years had gone by," said Thomas.It was 29 years since Weathers was murdered. Lyles was 61 years old and finally under arrest, prosecuted and sentenced to life in prison thanks to the persistence of child well into adulthood and a detective that wouldn't give up."He could've very easily said this didn't happen on my watch, it's not my problem, but he got out there and fought for justice just as Melissa did for all these years," said Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Molly Kettler.

Six parking lots inside Red Rocks Park are located within walking distance of the amphitheater, and staff will be on site to direct traffic. Parking is typically built into the cost of your OAR tickets.
