We Come to YOU
We Work with You and your DOG In YOUR Home
Why?
Problems are most observable and most solvable in the DOG's home environment
We use the "Pack-Leader" Method of Behavior Modification*
Human:
- "Pack - Leader"
- "Calm - Assertive"
DOG:
- "Pack - Follower"
- "Calm - Submissive"
A DOG should be willing to do anything the Human asks it to do.*
This has to be based on the DOG having learned to Trust and Respect the Human.
We do NOT, in general, use treats to modify un-wanted behavior, or "bribe" to "coerce" wanted behavior; except in some rare situations.
- An example would be, to distract the DOG from some situation the DOG is afraid of;
and once the DOG has over-come the situation and "realizes" nothing "bad" happened;
further modification continues without treats to "seal" the DOG's positive experience and reinforce wanted behavior. ex: to "invite" the DOG into a car, a strange room (place), etc.
We NEVER use "spike" or "prong" or "pinch" collars.
An Electronic or "E" Remote (operator) Controlled Collar - in "Vibration" mode might be used on a DOG that often "runs loose", as on a farm. In extreme cases this is serious and will save the DOG's life.
A short, quick (very mild) "shock" or "nick" mode might be used on a DOG that does not respond to the "Vibration" mode.
Vibrates - like a cell phone - mild to more intense.
Shocks - like a static electric discharge (dragging your feet on carpet then touch someone).
These "special" collars are ONLY used for "correction" NEVER "punishment".
DOGs don't understand "punishment", they don't "get-it",
because DOGs live "in the moment", "in the present"; NOT "in the past" or "in the future".
DOGs have a whole range of emotions but don't anticipate or get exctied about a future event.
DOGs only react to a current situation or stimulation.
DOGs are not able to understand a "future punishment" for a "past behavior".
ex: prison, resentment, their own death, etc.
So We "correct" un-wanted, un-healthy, behavior - NEVER "punish".
THIS is another example of "DOG psychology" vs. "Human psychology".
Try to forget EVERYTHING You know about "Human psychology" when relating to a DOG;
then you will be in a better position to communicate with any DOG.
"Stay ahead of YOUR pack"
