My method is a natural way to connect to any dog from the roots of their animal psyche giving them leadership so they can relax, follow and listen to their handlers or responsible owners. I’m not a dog trainer, I’m a dog behaviorist, I don’t distract the dogs with food, what I do is dog psychology and teach the humans how to: make dogs listen, have a better relationship with them, understand their
body language and fulfill the animal in them, so then they can start the beautiful journey of built a deep relationship with the most noble animal in the world. I never get tired of saying there is not dogs with issues, all of them are perfect, what it is 99% of the cases is misinformation from the handlers to know how to have a relax, balance and happy dog. I have been working on an idea to make city dogs happier, healthier and more balanced in this concrete jungle that we call New York. Through my passion to understand dogs better and in studying their behavior, I have realized that New York dogs are lacking something which is very essential for them: a good long walk, where they can relax and enjoy the world while being part of a pack. The wolf, the wild dog, as well as domesticated dogs, all share a common need to explore the world in a group. When dogs follow a leader they get into a meditative zone and they become one with the pack. My format allows city dogs to fulfill that primal need to roam and be part of a group and get their exercise at the same time. Most of people don’t know how to walk a dog — most of the dogs are walking and controlling their human owners. A different effect is produced on the dog’s mind when they are leading than when they are following. This is very important to understand because following a calm, assertive leader can make any dog happy, no matter the breed. In nature, dogs follow the pack leader to search for food, water and shelter, and walking is the activity that takes them there. Walking is in their DNA and it is a primal need which must be fulfilled. Pack Walks are intended to give city dogs leadership 100% of the time and fulfill their primal need roam and to be part of a group while we are walking for long rounds, instead of staying in a big crate (home, apartment, house, big backyard, etc.) alone for the day. A boring and frustrated dog with a lot of pin up energy is an unhappy dog. One of the fascinating things about the walk is that after a good walk every dog goes into resting mode for hours. You can have peace of mind knowing that your doggie is going to be at home after the walk relaxed and probably sleeping for a few hours, after which they tend to continue the calm, submissive and relaxed state of mind.
