During one of her training ses- sions, she made the whole class do the “Sit and Stay” exercise over again. “That was not a good exer- cise in any way, shape or form. So, we're going to do itagain. Alot of people did not correct their dogs,” Banfield told her class of 15. Not only does Banfield enjoy the work, she knows she is saving lives. “I like getting results. I save dogs’ lives. Some dogs are des- tined for the pound (when they come to me),” she said. “I think people give up on dogs too soon. If the dog is bad, they blame it on the dog. They fail to realize that the dog only knows things from training.” Monique, an Old English sheep- dog, was one such pet on its way to the pound. “We were ready to have her put to sleep,” said Jenni- fer Fedor of Wilkes-Barre. “Monique was extremely aggres- sive.” A friend clued Fedor in on Banfield and she has been com- - ing to the beginning obedience class for six weeks, twice a week.

Word-of-mouth is how Banfield gets the majority of her business. Danny Fierman of Kingston, and his daughter, Lilly, heard about Banfield from their kennel. “We have a dog that’s too aggressive. She never learned properly how to respond to people,” said Fierman. “The whole idea is to teach me how to teach Stormy. Nikki is doing a great job.” One observation proves the training is as much for the owners as it is for the pets. Mary Ann Brozusky had a lesson on being assertive with her chocolate la- brador, Smokey. “He's kind of hard to handle. I want him to walk with me, instead of pulling me,” she said, explaining why she Donna Zeyher of Dallas poses with her pooch, Kirby. signed up for the class. Brozusky worked with Banfield’s assistant, Debbie Hogrebe, on how to make Smokey stay and come to her when told. At first, Brozusky was not using a strong enough voice to get Smokey’s attention. But with some encouragement she mus- tered the strength of her vocal cords and belted outa firms Stay!” It worked. Mary Brown:-of Dallas, said Banfield has helped her be more aggressive in discipline and train- ing. “I've really learned how to assert myself with animals,” said Brown, who is training her dog, Daisy.. “I came to the class be- cause [ wanted to have more con- trol over the dog. It's important to protect your dog and other people.” “Nikki is very good.

Boyle Heating, Fireplace & Appliance presents “The First Choice in Kitchens of Distinction” Innovative Excellence Sub-Zero has led the built-in home refrigeration industry for years with product enhancements which have set trends.

Alarms (continued from page 1) nel are paid for two hours of work even if they are only there five minutes, said Kraynack. Their rates vary, but it usually falls around $12. The Dallas Township Police services have been of no cost so far, but Kraynack is not sure how long that will last. The Kingston Township Police, which patrols Westmoreland Elementary, has already charged the district $40 for a false alarm. The department gives the district five free false alarms a year and charges for all calls after that. Gil Griffiths, superintendent, said the district, “needs to go back and do a more thorough job (of explaining the alarm systems) to the coaches.” Griffiths said the situations arise as many coaches and students come into the schools after competitions and the coaches forget there is an alarm system. Kraynack said he is still work- ing the bugs out of the system, which was installed last May. In other business, the board voted to hire Jim McGovern as assistant football coach for the high school and Gordan Kutz as the assistant football coach at the middle school. Last year McGovern served as the assistant football coach at the middle school. Football, girls’ and boys’ bas- ketball and wrestling events have gone up $1 for parents. The board voted to charge $3 per game for adults and keep the existing $1 for students. Prices of school lunches will remain the same this year. El- ementary school lunches cost $1.30, middle school is $1.40 and it’s a la carte at the high school.
