“A dog is born wild . . . he must be trained to be free.”

“So when we set out to train our pup to be mannerly, our influence should cause the dog to learn that by being subordinate, in other words by occupying that part of its temperament that puts it into harmony with our needs and wishes, the dog nevertheless experiences his highest degree of gratification. From the dog’s point of view, he feels in control of what’s happening because his greatest drive is being satisfied and in terms of group purpose, rather than any individual’s self-interest. Being in his place has to work for a dog, his instincts need to be gratified”

Making waves, in the waves! 🌊 Thelma puts all her energy into hunting birds at the beach. As soon as she sees a bird it’s petal straight to the metal. While it’s beautiful to see such drive, she feels stuck in the surge and never gets the fulfillment of grounding that charge ripping through her! So until she can manage her own energy it’s our job to help her re-learn how. Using the high collar technique from Natural Dog Training we remind her what it feels like to be in neutral and not a slave to always being full throttle. Next we help her find her breath with a good speak, one of the . Good Job Themla 💞🐾🐶 . . . Do you feel like your dog can’t focus when outside or around distractions, it may be that they just forgot how! Follow and like to see Thelma’s journey and how we use Natural Dog Training to rebuild that true rapport every dog is born with. They evolved to be our best friends after all 👌😊

Met these sweet doggies the other day and took them for a walk. The owner had been working with a trainer to stop their pulling on walks. It's an approach I have not seen yet and while very creative it seemed to actually work against the ultimate goal of moving well together. As you can see
the feedback from the leash was not communicating to the dogs the message the owner was trying to convey "it feels better to walk with me".

Due to the heat it was important that I was able to keep them off pavement and not interrupt any panting (how dogs cool down). So I switched the leashes to a traditional slip and within minutes of meeting and walking these dogs for the first time, we were walking in harmony.

When you use the right tool the right way it's easy to communicate what you want. Follow and like for more training tips on the Doggie's Day Off Difference using Kevin Bean's Natural Dog Training Method.

This is what the Doggies Day Off difference is all about! Achillies is a fun and happy doggie who thanks to his awesome owners has been able to hold onto a lot of that soft puppy nature. Unfortunately there was one “problem” Achillies was having (much like his name sake it had to do with feet ☺️), nail clipping did not feel good! This is where DDOs Stress-Less grooming comes in. The goal was not just to clip Achillies nails but to do it in a way that resolved his past fears surrounding it. Needless to say both doggie and owners are feeling much better! The best part is that Achillies can carry this good feeling into future grooming sessions with his owners/groomer 👌🐶 Natural Dog Training

“Likewise, the dog doesn’t have to actually kill a moose to enjoy the feeling of its emotional battery being drained. The charge may have initially been triggered by a moose, but the feeling of draining its battery by playing with me is emotionally the same as that of taking down the moose. Finally, once the desired behaviors of heel, sit, down, stay, and coming when called have been integrated into the push-of-war game, they too become part and parcel of what bringing a moose to ground feels like. Of course, there’s natural precedent for these linkages because when wolves hunt they perform exactly these behaviors at various stages of the enterprise. we’re not trying to take the dog’s energy away from him; we’re merely showing him what to do with his energy and in a manner wholly consistent with his temperament, the domestication of dogs, and the evolution of the wolf itself.”

Your Dog Is Your Mirror
By Kevin Behan

What does your dog feel when you play? Does how you play with your dogs satisfy their drive? Does it encourage your dog to invest its energy with you or away from you?

“A harmonic pathway is when the individuals are on a common wavelength with a common purpose. Uninhibited play between dogs is a very pure example. The muscles are soft not stiff, tails are high and freely waving, and eyes are bright and alive. Emotional juices flow fast leaving the participants happily exhausted at play's end. ”

“Inside our chest beats a wild animal. It was never domesticated. It can’t be tamed, it can’t be conditioned, and it can’t be trained. It knows no reason. When we were young, we lived in harmony with this animal. We lived by heart. If understanding our dog means understanding ourselves, then we need to look at ourselves, and at the cost of domestication to us.” 📚 by Kevin Began Natural Dog Training

“The object of all behavior, no matter the action, no matter the species, is to return to a state of weightlessness from which all animals, even birds, are expelled at birth. . . there is only one place in the body where the experience of weightlessness is centered and can be felt, and all anatomy, physiology, and neurology evolved in service to this organ: the heart. This “emotional center of gravity” may not be material — it is both heart and Heart — in the same way that there isn’t any site or organ in the body that we can point to as the body’s physical center of gravity, or even its consciousness. But somehow, we maintain our equilibrium and our awareness, and the working of the mechanism fades into the background like an ever-present white noise. Nevertheless, Heart is indeed what’s most real about being conscious, especially vivid when it’s about to be lost.” 💞

“As you read these stories you will see that whenever I was properly humble and willing to let something besides a human be my instructor, these various four-legged, six-legged and no-legged fellows shared priceless wisdom with me. They taught me that perfect understanding and perfect co-operation between the human and all other forms of life is unfailing whenever the human really does his required part.“ —  J. Allen Boone Foreword to Kinship With All Life (Harper & Row, 1954)

“Do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be? She’s still there. Go after her.” . . . So glad I followed my little girl dreams. Still hard at work getting the park up and running but also enjoying the in-between time.
