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?
Out come all those secret dog training skills that you have been working on. The pack leader stance, sharp hand signal, the food distraction. They all mould into one and instead of bringing him or her back into control the only thing that you achieve is create great entertainment of the other dog walkers.
Surely everyone wants that magical relationship that dogs have in offer for their humans. You know that total devotion, loyalty, caring and togetherness. Dogs have so much Unconditional love to share that most dog owners love their pooches more than their partners! Any owner worth their bones would also want the best for their dogs happiness!
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.
When I say "your can feel them in detail" I mean you can understand them on a deeper emotional and physical level. The great thing is that you do not need to be gifted to make this type of communication happen as everyone can do this and it is very easy to learn.
Animal communication is so much easier than you maybe thinking and you are only simple steps away from dramatically improving your dog training and developing a deeper and more meaningful relationship, so it really worth looking into!
Dog Training And Animal Communication - A Powerful Combination
by Rebecca Lowe
We first encountered animal communication when we had reached the end of our dog training with our Border Collie Cross Badger. We reached a point when everyday dog training no longer worked with her, this is her story.
Life had become settled and dare I say boring so to spice things up a little we decided to look into getting a puppy! We read dog training manual after dog training manual and the day eventually arrived when we felt we had read enough and we were ready to go get one!
We put everything we had learned into practice from day 1 and wow was she responsive or were we just that good at it?! She picked up all the usual commands with total ease, this was going to be a breeze.
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
Dog trainer after dog trainer, behaviourist after behaviourist, they all came and went with their various techniques and methods to overcome her problems - nothing worked at all and at 1 year old she was now a fully grown dog in size. This feeling of hopelessness was totally suffocating, we had no idea what to do or where to turn to next.
Life by this time was so incredibly limited, we could not simply sit by and wait for something to happen. We could not understand our dog's unpredictable behaviour. What options were left to us? If we had tried to re-home her she would never have left the dog shelter. We were eventually advised it may be best to put her to sleep.
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.
Our life's were saved! This may sound a dramatic statement but our life's really were saved Badgers and ours! James gave us the insight we needed to eventually start to move forward. He told us what motivated her, what she needed and actually what she didn't need!
Our dog was NOT aggressive! Her behaviour certainly appeared that way but the truth of the matter was that her digestive system did not work as it should resulting in her being in constant pain - no wonder she was body sensitive and didn't like being touched!
We also learnt that whilst we knew she was highly anxious and dominant she was mirroring me?! This took a bit of time to sink in to be honest How could this be? How can that happen? I had done everything possible to ensure I was a responsible dog owner Where had I gone so wrong? And then my light bulb moment we were now 3 years on and I was a nervous wreck! The situation with Badger had made me this way and I was keeping us that way time to change!
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?
My stressful job was the first thing to go, I suddenly realised the feeling I had with the Badger situation was the exact same feeling I had when I though about my job. The next change was actually making time for myself this did not include ironing whilst watching the TV, this was not chilling out! And then to my final decision to train to become an Animal Communicator, how many dogs and their owners were suffering like we were? I had to get out there and help.
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.
Training Animals Is All About Relationship!
by James French
There are so many different approaches when it comes to training animals. The old school way, this is through the feeling of we are more superior and is based on dominance. The animal had better do what it is told!
Then we have the I love my animal so much that it does not matter what they do, even when the animal is showing very disturbing behaviour.
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?
So to get a better understanding lets look at these two extremes and what is happening on an emotional level.
This hard approach has the animal responding through a fear aspect. They will do what is being asked in the fear of the consequence of not doing it. You can clearly see this in the repressed overly submissive behaviour.
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.
The same thing is happening in both cases the mind of the animal is too fast and this produces excess levels of emotion.
I would like to show you a way of finding the right balance! Have a look at the video below. This is showing clearly that we can help an animal to be peaceful and this in turn creates the one true element needed in a good relationship, trust.
There is a balance that is very special and this can be created through trust. Then clearly there is no place for old dominant behaviour from the human. Why would there be any need if both the human and animal had this strength of relationship.
When you are trust worthy in the eyes of your animal then they naturally listen to you for guidance and are ready to learn.
There is a big shift in animal training, it is becoming increasingly obvious that there are better ways that are so much more rewarding. to make this happen it is not the animal who need to change, it is us!
