How many different dog training methods are there out there, it is enough to make your head spin? Well it is not the method that is important it is the feeling behind the handler. I am going to share with you how to create a relationship with your dog based on trust using animal communication.
If you have ever felt that your dog is not listening to you or that horrible embarrassment when your dog does something anti social and you have no control and just end up hopelessly calling and shouting. Meanwhile the whole park is staring at you because they can all hear you and still your dog treats you like the invisible person?
You decide in panic to throw, all your dog training arsenal at him, the sharp whistle, shake the can to distract him, click the clicker, throw him rewards, wave your hand signals. All that is happening is that you are now giving the park a free circus entertainment show and still no response. Ok so this may be a little extreme but I feel that you know where I am coming from!
With the right heart I believe that all dog owners want the best relationship with their pet. They want their dog to be happy and yes well-behaved. There is a very special bond between a dog and human that is laced in unconditional love, compassion and companionship. This is why persons best friend is dog!
I want to share with you the most important ingredient to working in harmony with your dog. It is all about your relationship with each other! How much attention do you give your dog in really understanding them? How much do you listen to them? Is this starting to sound like a marriage help session? Good because dogs have feelings just as much as humans do and be as honest as possible how would another person respond to you if you treated them the same way you treat your dog?
So how can you create this wonderful, meaning full and understanding relationship I hear you ask? Animal communication is a very natural way for you to connect with your animals feelings and understand them in detail. It builds on your relationship by bringing your attention to the feeling state that you are sharing.
What I mean by feeling them in detail is that you can understand their physical and emotional states accurately. It sounds like this could be hard but far from it, this is not a special gift only for the few. Anyone can learn this way of communicating.
Learning animal communication is easy and so effective in helping people improve their dog training skills. The side effect is that you will have a much closer relationship and understanding for each other. It really is worth looking at!
Training Animals Should Be with Trust
by James French
We humans have so many different ideas and beliefs when it comes to animal training. There are the old school methods, which recognises that us humans are far better than animals. This way can be aggressive as the animal must do as they are told.
Then there is the complete opposite, where the human is letting their animals do as they please even when the behaviour is is clearly out of place. Usually with the pretence that they love their animals too much to correct them.
What happens between these two examples is what makes up the many training methods out there. So what is the right approach that suits both the animals and the humans needs?
Let have a look at these two ways and see what is happening for the animal on an emotional level.
The hard approach is similar to a child who is doing what they are told in the fear of the consequence. This child can be very submissive and show insincere behaviours, finding it hard to express them selves and shows emotional sensitivity.
Horses that are in this state are jumpy and find it hard to concentrate as they are move focused on the feeling that this person is going to tell them off for not getting it right.
The other end of the scale is also suffering. With the animal not having any direction shown to them by the human they have to take the responsibility for them selves. When they can't cope with these situations they end up loosing confidence and trust. For example a dog can become over protective and aggressive.
This animal is also racing in their minds producing too much emotion to find their own confidence.
Have a look at the video below which uses a method based on building trust between an animal and a human. Creating a relationship by helping them to find peace of mind.
The special balance needed between an animal and a human is developed through trust. Then the dominant ways are completely pointless as there is a far stronger relationship. This moves the focus from telling the animal to truly teaching the animal.
When you are trust worthy in the eyes of your animal then they naturally listen to you for guidance and are ready to learn.
Animal training is making a huge shift forward by a small majority of dog trainers and horses trainers that are here to show another way. It is not the animals that need to change, it is us!
How Animal Communication Changed My Life And Enhanced My Dog Training!
by Rebecca Lowe
This is the story of our Border Collie cross called Badger and how when conventional dog training was unable to solve her numerous issues, I discovered Animal Communication which provided me with the insight and understanding to help her become a happy and fulfilled dog. In fact, I would have to say that Animal Communication changed my life and enhanced my dog training for ever!
I was a normal everyday person and myself and my husband decided that it would be nice to have a puppy to share our life! So armed with various dog training manuals we read and read and read until we were prepared for when puppy arrived.
As soon as Badger arrived we started the training. Firstly, we tried treat training and she picked up all the usual commands with ease: sit, down, leave, drop and paw. We could also take away a toy when she was playing with it and put a hand in her bowl when she was eating. I wanted to ensure that we were the dog trainer and she wasn't the human trainer!
Approximately 5 weeks later, I didn't know who this puppy was any more. She certainly wasn't the cute little thing we picked up who lit up our lives. She had started showing her teeth to me which then went on to snarling if I went near her toys or food. I was distraught, what had happened to us? What had gone so wrong?
Eventually she bit me. This was bad enough but she didn't stop there. Her growling, snapping and snarling was so unpredictable she started doing the same thing to my husband and any visitors to the house or in fact if we were visitors in their house. She would spend hours in her bed just staring at us, she guarded her toys, food, water absolutely anything even a piece of paper What had we done so wrong, was she trying to tell us something?
As a result of her behaviour, we were banned from our own family and friend's houses as Badger's behaviour was just too unpredictable. We were not able to go on holiday or even go out for a whole day or overnight stay, as we could not allow a dog walker in to our house. We took her to additional dog training but still nothing worked
Various techniques and methods were used by the numerous Trainers and Behaviourists we consulted. Nothing worked, in fact if anything they made her worse. She was now aged 1 and fully grown, what a hopeless situation, where did we go from here? What next.. anything?
Life by now was incredibly stressful. We couldn't carry on living like this, was she going to bite me today? Was she ever going to change? Is this just the way it is always going to be? Can we cope? We just wished we could understand her we knew that one day something serious would happen and then it would all be too late. Re-homing was out of the question as she would never actually leave the rescue centre as she had already displayed aggression. It had been suggested to us that she should be put too sleep for her own good was it time to make that decision?
Around this time, a friend had consulted an Animal Communicator and had had some very good results with her own dogs. Nothing else had worked to this point but we decided to contact an Animal Communicator in one last ditch attempt.
We needed the understanding and insight of our dog to move forward and with no idea whether it would work we contacted the Animal Communicator, James French.
It may sound like an overused clich - but Animal Communication really did save her life.. and ours! It provided the insight we needed; what motivated her, what was wrong with her, what she needed from us and where was it all going so wrong?
After all this time we learned that our dog was not aggressive she was in constant pain as her digestive system was not processing her food, no wonder she didn't like being touched and was so body sensitive.
The other thing we learned was a little more mind blowing. Whilst we knew she was highly anxious yet extremely dominant this was not technically her fault?! Badger had become my mirror, I reeled when I was gently informed of this. How could this be? What on earth had I done to my dog? But I had read all of the dog training manuals and done everything to the letter? It suddenly dawned on me we had been going through this for 3 years now and I was practically a nervous wreck and between us we were caught up in our own little vicious circle.
Her food was the first thing we tackled, changing her to a raw food diet and the results were amazing! We knew it was going to be a long road to total recovery but we had made a step forward and boy were we excited! And now on to me gulp, I had to make my own changes but where did I start?
I gave up my very stressful job, I started having more 'me' time to enable me to relax properly. Most importantly, I decided that I also wanted to train to become an Animal Communicator.
I really feel this story is some sort of fairy tale....If we had of given in and taken her to rescue centre she would never have left, if she had had different owners she may have been put to sleep. How many people and dogs were suffering out there? How many dogs were being put to sleep each day, each year just because they cannot be heard?
I am now a fully qualified Animal Communicator and spend my life helping other people and their dogs and it really has taken my own dog training to a whole new level. Where dog training has been unsuccessful for you and your dog, Animal Communication is a MUST.
