Is your dog difficult to
handle? Does your dog jump up on guests or bark menacingly
when you take food away from him? Changing your pets
behavior need not be a difficult task. The dog whisperer can
show you the most effective way to change your dog's
behavior for the better.
The dog whisperer knows how to communicate with dogs in ways
they understand. The basic nature of dogs has remained
unchanged in their development over the ages. Dogs are and
will always be pack animals. By observing and understanding
their pack instincts, you can learn a lot about how they
interact. A good dog whisperer is proficient in the language
of the pack and uses it to effectively train your dog.
When your dog first joins your family, the dog assumes
itself to be part of a family pack comprised of humans and
him. It is important that from the very beginning the humans
assume the lead role in the pack; otherwise the dog will
take that position as his right. Once the dog thinks he is
in charge of the pack he will act accordingly. This is the
root cause of bad behavior problems.
A dog that believes he is the leader of his pack will do
what he wants, when he wants. He will try to impose his will
on the other members of his pack. This dog will pull on his
leash while on a walk, essentially taking you for a walk
instead of the other way around. This dog will insist on
being the first one in and out of doorways, will decide when
and where he will sit, lie down, and ignore your commands.
This behavior will not change as long as the dog thinks he
is in charge.
This is where the dog whisperer comes into his own. The dog
whisperer can show you ways to speak to and handle your pet
that will re-establish your dominance in the pack. He can
teach you the subtle language that packs use to establish
each member's role. With the use of voice inflection and
body posture, the dog whisperer will show you how to get
your dog under control. In no time at all you will be
considered in command of the pack.
The dog whisperer will show you how, gently but firmly to
place your dog in a submissive position. For example, lying
on its back is a submissive posture for a dog. The dog that
thinks he is in the dominant or alpha position in other
words the leader of the pack will avoid this posture. The
dog whisperer will show you how to place the dog on his
back, making him lay there while you hover over him. This
shows the dog that you are taking the alpha position and
that he must submit. This will not be easy at first, but
eventually the dog will learn that he must relinquish his
position as leader of the pack. This is an effective
discipline for the dog that refuses to listen to you. Before
long he will get the hint that you expect him to act in a
certain way and that he must listen to your voice and obey
your commands.
It is not necessary to use a loud voice to gain control of
your dog, but it is essential to use a cool firm tone to
obtain the best results. Many women find that their dogs
will not listen to them, and often think it is because they
are not as loud as men can be. However, dogs will listen
better to a voice that is firm and calm than to one that is
loud and high pitched. A good dog whisperer will have
studied this effect on dogs and will be able to teach you
how to use the right tone of voice with your dog.
A dog whisperer is also good at helping dogs that display
unusual behavior. The bizarre behavior of many dogs such as
incessant barking, chasing cars, biting and aggression, and
suffering separation anxiety show certain fears and
anxieties the dog has about his position in the pack. At
other times it comes from a lack of understanding and
knowledge about the kind of dog you have. Certain breeds
need to have you establish that dominant role immediately,
or the results can be disastrous.
If you have tried every type of training with your dog
without success, you may want to consider the dog whisperer.
It is a safe and gentle approach at dog training, and is
highly effective. This type of training will also brings you
and your dog closer together as you gain a better
understanding of how to communicate with him. He will also
feel more secure in your family pack as he feels that you
understand his language. Some might say the dog whisperer
can work miracles, while others say it is pure genius.
Either way, results have shown that the method of training a
dog whisperer employs gets desired results quickly. That
leads to a happier relationship between dog and owner.
