10-year-old Entrepreneur Keith Boyd with his mentor Thrive15 CEO Clay Clark

Ten-year-old Keith Boyd, CEO of Keiths Ice Cold Lemonade Stand, is teaming up with entrepreneurship education resource Thrive15 and several local businesses to make lemonade out of lemons. Boyd, who was born with nonverbal cerebral palsy and is unable to use his arms, legs or mouth, set out to raise $ 250,000 for The Little Light House, a Tulsa-based development center for children with special needs. The Little Light House gifted him with the technology that allows him to now verbally communicate. The Tobii EyeMobile is a tool that allows Boyd to communicate by using his eyes to type what he wants to say on a screen, which is then verbalized by the tool. In response to this gift, Boyd crafted a business plan to set up lemonade stands around Tulsa for the summer, the proceeds of which would benefit The Little Light House.

“My goal is to raise money for The Little Light House where I went to school until I was six. They have done so much for me; I want to give back so other kids can go to that school without paying any money,” said Keith Boyd.

Recognizing Boyds entrepreneurial spirit, local franchised Chick-fil-A Operator and Thrive15 mentor Arthur Greeno reached out to Keiths parents to ask how he could make the lemonade stands become a reality. Greeno enlisted the help of other Thrive15 mentors, who helped create a website for the lemonade stands and to secure local sponsors and media partners for the initiative. Additionally, Greeno secured donations of lemons and tea for the stands.

I knew I had to meet Keith when I heard his story, said Greeno. I was so inspired when he shared his business plan with me that he had written with his eyes. Many people dream big, but to take action is very admirable.

Thrive15 was honored to provide Keith the tools he needs to succeed in business, says Thrive15 CEO Clay Clark. Keith reminds us that it doesnt matter what your circumstances are, you can thrive if you are diligent.

Keiths Ice Cold Lemonade Stands will launch on Wednesday, June 18 at ten Tulsa area business locations and will be open every Wednesday from June 18 through August 20 between the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For donation of any amount, guests will receive a cup of either Chick-fil-A Lemonade or Chick-fil-A Sweet Tea. For donations of $ 100 or more, guests will receive a reusable Chick-fil-A cup that they can take to any Tulsa-area Chick-fil-A restaurant through August 20 for unlimited beverage refills.

Participating sponsors of Keiths Ice Cold Lemonade Stand include: Thrive15.com, Tulsa-area Chick-fil-A restaurants, Bob Hurley Ford, Lawn America, KOKI Fox 23, The Apothecary Shoppe, The Vintage Pearl, The Journey Training, M&M Lumber Co., Sunkist, Tetley, TetleyHarris Food Group, Lamar Advertising Group, American Waste Control, Halo Branded Solutions, Domino Foods, Bryan Smith State Farm Agency, E-Z Up, Red Dog Construction and Healthy Living Games.

Training your pet is extremely key . It is the solution that helps you get a great connection with your dog.  If the pet you have is very obstinate, proper training can help remedy that.  You can train weimaraner if you want to do so.  If so, then you ought to have the right training method.  The best method is one that gets probably the most from your dogs.  Less than great training approaches will also result in an improperly trained animal.

Boston, MA 10/28/10 – Bill Snitterman is the CEO of a local publishing firm that specializes in dog training books.  He owns quite a few dogs himself and he is a big advocate of the importance of having the right methods. “Your dogs will respond based on how you treat them,” said Snitterman. “The best approaches have been designed so that you get the most effective of your animal.  It also releases  some of the burdens of training.” Snitterman was also one of the many who were nearby at the launch of the new webpage – http://www.weimaranerproblems.com/train-weimaraner/, it studies weimaraner training.

Taking the position of pack leader is one the top training approaches out there.  This advice has been frequently advocated by trainers all over since the idea of dog training came to be.  This works the top since dogs are pack animals and they respect their pack leader.  You won’t have as a good deal control over dogs if your weimaraner doesn’t have a great deal control over them.  

However, in training, it is critical that you do not take things too far.  Since you are taking the position of superior animal/alpha dog, it doesn’t mean that you have got to be horrible to your pets.  It does not mean that you need to snarl always. You should not hit your pet or cause them any physical harm at any time.  Doing that is likely to make your weimaraner fear you and it can also bring about issues with cowering.  It is not the way to make your dogs obey you and it is going to create compliance by way of fear.  

If you are training more than one dog, it is really key that you keep your animals from going at one another.  This shows that you are to keep your dogs from fighting.  If you do then they will determine their own superior animal/alpha dog.  Power in a group of animals should be avoided as it should be kept back for the behaviorist.  

You also should show constancy when it comes to your pets.  This shows that you have to persist with the instructions that you have earlier given out.  You should not flip-flop – it is not recommended.  You should protect your dog from doing something that you would on the whole allow.  For example, don’t let them hop on the chair without reprimanding it, especially if you usually do not on the whole allow it.  

An expert dog trainer could help you if you find that yourself stuck when you train weimaraner or any other dogs.  You can also go and use a self-help book.  There are surely a great deal of these guides out there.  They may help you train weimaraners and when followed correctly, they can prove to be some of the best training devices.

Fresh Patchmaker of the real-grass, disposable dog pottyjoins with many other dog-friendly Americans in welcoming The Weather Channels new therapy dog, Butler.

For several months, The Weather Channel has been conducting a search for a therapy dog that will bear its name, and will travel as its emissary to places struck by natural disasters. Chosen from five finalists, Butler will be an ambassador for both The Weather Channel and for the American Humane Association, which worked together in this effort.

A young shepherd mix, Butler was rescued from the Humane Society of Charlotte, North Carolina. Butler will be trained by Amy McCullough, the National Director of Animal-Assisted Therapy for the American Humane Association. McCullough says that she will train Butler at her home in Colorado, with the goal of registering him as a therapy dog in time for the storm season this spring.

Hurricane Sandy and other natural disasters have shown that therapy dogs can be a valuable aid to individuals and families who are experiencing tremendous loss. A therapy dog can be a source of comfort and hope. According to McCullough, The Weather Channel will be keeping its viewers posted on Butlers training, and will follow his service as a therapy dog. Updates will be posted on Butlers Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/therapydogbutler

Like other fans of The Weather Channel, the Fresh Patch Company has been captivated by the stations search for a therapy dog, and was glad to see that Butler was given the important role. Our company was just one of many Weather Channel viewers who found the process engaging. Because we are a dog-focused company, we like to applaud programs and events that recognize the enormous contributions dogs make to people and to society, says a Fresh Patch spokesperson.
