Animal Advocates got email about a chained dog that is sadly, still common. It was originally sent to the SPCA, but when nothing improved for the dog it was sent to AAS. As you read Hap's story keep mind that the SPCA is the pound this place, and since it does not do home-checks before or even after its adoptions, Hap's abuser might have purchased him from the SPCA.

It make it much easier to train on private land. From the WI DNR website: Training dogs for bird hunting is a popular activity throughout Wisconsin, and improved licensing process coupled with new public lands open for dog training make it easier than ever to prepare your dogs for hunting season. As authorized by state code, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources allows trainers to train bird hunting dogs on state properties. However, a bird dog training license is required for dog training on state and private lands whenever captive wild birds are used. An updated licensing process allow a bird dog trainer to train a dog on any designated dog training grounds within state properties or on private property with landowner permission. Previously, trainers were required to obtain individual permits for each property on which they wished to train their dogs. The new application process begin 15. Applicants can complete application online, deliver a completed form to the nearest Department Service Center or send application via mail to receive approval and the appropriate leg bands. A licensed bird dog trainer possess and use the following live captive-bred species for dog training purposes: gray partridge; chukar; red-legged partridge; mallard duck ring-necked pheasant; Reeves pheasant; and bobwhite quail and other species of the subfamily odontophorinae. The department currently maintains six Class 1 Dog Training Grounds and 50 Class 2 Dog Training Grounds. Class 1 dog training grounds allow bird dog training year-round, and are posted, marked or designated as department lands, while Class 2 grounds include department lands approved for training, but not identified code. The department is the process of establishing additional Class 2 dog training grounds to provide additional opportunities for hunting dog owners to conduct training on state lands. Eventually, the department hopes to establish at least one Class 2 dog training counties with adequate state lands and where public demand is high. For additional resources, including more information regarding the new licensing process, property maps identifying dog training locations, and application form, search the DNR website, for keywords dog training. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Lizotte, DNR area wildlife supervisor, Thanks for posting this Grange. This is great news. The old system of licensing dog training was overdue for updating. If you train gun dogs the state of Wisconsin using game birds take note. And if there isn't a state owned property your county, now is the time to lobby for one. The DNR is looking to expand their Class 2 dog training areas-but need to hear from you. This is great news. I have had farmers state I can run dogs on thier land to train with birds, but as as I pulled out the paperwork, and they read the print, including the 3 years, they would say no even relatives. No matter what I did to explain to them, I would ask permission every year, they thought is was more of a contract they must let me train. it was trying to educate the non-dog hunting community of what this was. Thanks for who ever pushed it through! This is great
