Gentle Touch Dog Training

Think you have a dominant dog? We first need to learn what dominance is and isn’t. https://drsophiayin.com/philosophy/dominance/

This misunderstanding has persisted in-spite of efforts to correct and clarify -and our dogs have suffered as a result.

That cute puppy you want to buy online or from a pet store-these are the conditions most online sellers raise their animals in-I don’t say pets because they are not pets to them-they are a cash crop. Thinking you are saving one from these conditions? You’re not-it is more incentive to keep breeding. Think because they are a religious organization they must be good to their animals, think again-the Amish are some of the largest puppy mill operators-consider this please-these puppies are raised in filthy conditions, with little to no human interaction, and born to parents who were raised the same way-so behavioral issues are very common-fear, aggression, house training issues, and so on are often problems. PLEASE STOP BUYING PUPPY MILL PUPPIES EITHER ONLINE OR FROM PET STORES. https://www.stoponlinepuppymills.org/amish-puppy-mills/

Have an adolescent dog? Don’t worry-there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel

From the meme Sniffing is essential for mental & emotional wellbeing......... Let your dogs sniff!

Experts from the National Dog Bite Prevention Week Coalition discuss training tips to help prevent bites, how to safely socialize your dog after a year of isolation, and how to recognize the warning signs that a dog may bite.

Why yes, yes I do

Friendly reminder

The night before I lost my Kess to cancer (PTS), her best bud, my cat Maverick laid between her front legs and licked her while cradling her face in his paws-all night long, and when she did not come home with me he cried and yowled all night while roaming the house looking for her. One day I forgot myself and said go potty Kess? He and a couple of the other cats jumped up and came running while looking around to the back door-they were looking for her. I had to cry for their loss as well as mine. So yes, cats grieve as most animals do.

Could a pet owner teach her animal to be well behaved and start responding to her cues, even after years of misbehavior? You’d be surprised ;-) Successful anim...al training will help improve your relationship to your animal, reduce fear and stress, and empower the animal to take an active part of his own care. To train effectively, you need to understand why animals do what they do, and motivate them to do what you desire. Whether you’re a dog owner, a horse person, a vet or a zoo keeper, this short course is for you! It will open your mind to all that’s possible when you start intentionally training your animal, such as: * Clipping the claws of an animal who is collaborating rather than struggling, * Asking your animal to enter a trailer or a transport cage as a fun game, rather than coercing him, * Having that perfect recall, when the animal ignores all distractions and comes to you immediately when called, * Teaching your animal a really cool and fun trick, to impress your friends. The Keys to Successful Animal Training is not a checklist of the things you must do to get the behaviour you need, where you mindlessly just copy what I tell you to do step by step. No this short course will launch your animal training mindset, so that you can start coming up with your own training plans. So you can understand why the animal isn’t collaborating and what you can do to help change his mind. To change your animal’s behaviour you need to understand how to communicate what you would like him to do, and how to motivate him to go along with your wishes. In the short and super dense course Keys to Successful Animal Training, I will teach you. Here’s what’s covered in 10 videos (altogether about 50 minutes): * How some pet owners misinterpret behaviour * The pitfalls of unintentional training * The two learning mechanisms that you need to understand when training animals * The two essential keys to successful animal training * Two ways of diminishing problem behaviour * The most useful behaviour you can teach any animal * Why and how to use a clicker * Why the dog sits when asked (it’s probably not what you think!) * Tipping the scales so that the animal actually performs the behaviour you desire * Why not training is not an option Not sure if it’s for you? Here’s what some of the people who’ve gone through this training said: - Monica: As a long time qualified dog trainer and COAPE companion animal behaviourist I am very familiar with the content presented. That said, what I really admired and enjoyed is your unique art and skill of presenting the complex scientific data in such an easily understandable and fun format. Many thanks! - Anna: Anybody getting a dog should have to watch this first!!! Thank you! - Agnes: My mind is blown in a good way! - Susanne: I loved every second of the course! - Camille: I had hit a point where I was so uninspired. Now feeling really excited! - Karen: I have trained my dogs with positive reinforcement for over twenty years. What you did for me, was to put words on how to explain this for friends and family. YOU GAVE me the power to keep going and spread the word. THANK YOU The cost of this course is normally US$20:- but you can grab it at 80% off only $4!

This should be common sense to any compassionate, and intelligent human-make a very sad commentary on the human race that a law needs to made for this
