As a Dog Behaviorist, my mission is to educate people and get them to really understand everything from a dog’s point of view. Behavior Dog Training starts with seeing things from the dog’s perspective, understanding dogs for whom they truly are, and the way they communicate which makes them realize and understand the dog is not being disrespectful – there is just simply a communication breakdown between them and their dog. When people obtain this knowledge and see how easy it is to communicate with their dog, everyone is happy, and the dog remains in a forever home instead of being surrendered to the shelter.
My Approach
My approach is not the typical, standard type of methods used in the various types of Obedience Training. These methods stem from and are based on the Human Thought Process.
My methods of training which I like to refer to as Teaching and Communicating are based on the Animal Thought Process. I teach and communicate to dogs the way a Mama would do with her pups. There are no commands – there is no speaking. You do not see a Mama look at one pup and go “woof woof woof” look at the next pup and go “ woof woof woof” That’s just not reality.
Dogs communicate through emotions and body language, and that is how we communicate with them. Just like working with horses the direction is minimal; it is the handler’s calm and confident state of mind that enforces that direction.
