Dog Psychology, Canine Behaviour and Communication
 

Common dog behaviour problems that can be resolved by owner and dog behaviour & management coaching are - aggression, chewing, barking, obsessive behaviour, snapping, growling, biting, dominance, fearfulness, no recall, pulling on the lead, pack problems, fighting with other dogs, separation anxiety, submissive weeing  - contact me for an effective solution to these and  other undesirable dog behaviour

Understanding dog psychology, instinctual reactions and canine behaviour is the key to communicating with your dog and establishing a happy balanced relationship with him.

Do you realise when you get your dog that you are getting a pet that is a direct descendant of the wolf and expect it to do everything you want without understanding its needs - environmental, emotional or physical?  That dogs don't understand our emotions, idiosyncrasies and our belief in democracy and fair play for all.  That dogs can't be consoled as we can console our children or that they don't feel sorry for us.  That instinctual behaviour, pack structure, eye contact and  body language is the way they relate to each other and to us and the way we react to them is read by them as to what THEY THINK we are doing and NOT what we ARE doing.  That our touch at the right time can mean the difference between a happy secure dog in our home and a dog so stressed that it will mutilate itself on a daily basis.  Your reaction in a stressful situation can determine the behaviour of your dog in the present AND the future.

Understand your dog through understanding instinctual behaviour and canine communication - read the signals, display the behaviour, develop the relationship and enjoy! 

In this case actions really do speak louder than words

Looking at the behaviour of your dog and using assumptions in human terms to explain it and cure it is akin to beating your head against a brick wall. 

We need to look at it from the dog's perspective.  He knows why he does as he does and he thinks he is doing the right thing!  Your dog was born with a blueprint for life and lives by it every day.  Canine behaviour is how dogs communicate and relate to us and each other.

If you want a balanced, stress free dog who is willing to co-operate with you, please get in touch - I really can help!
