I am an advocate for a dogs mental recovery. I truly want them to succeed. I assess their demeanor, create a strategy to achieve the goal of the owner, and then implement it. Every approach involves Leash Training and getting and keeping the dogs attention. Leash Training is where the dog owner communicates their wishes to the dog...their likes and dislikes. Just like a telephone line! Through sound and leash and body language, I show the owners how to express their disappointments, or their satisfaction and joy in their dogs better decisions and accomplishments...big or small. The dog begins to build a link to their owner having done something correctly. They are motivated in the positive way and not out of the negative. You can force your will on most any dog, but it will not change their core values. I teach the owners how to win over the dogs allegiance by positive reinforcement and calm assertive techniques. Dogs will spot a phony dominant from a mile away. When a dog understands and respects its owner, they are bathed in their own confidence for a job will done, and they become more apt to keep listening and progressing forward with what you have to offer them. Be who your dog looks up to!
