PHILOSOPHY In order to really enjoy
a dog,
one doesn't merely try to train him to be semihuman. The point of it is
to open
oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog. Pawsitive Dog Solutions stands for the principle that no matter how far from harmony you and your dog are now, the appropriate training regimen can help you both establish harmony. Let's start with dog psychology. A dog
achieves inner peace when she knows what her purpose is.
Dogs were bred to work for humans, and if you pay close attention
you might note that your dog is always looking for work ... hunting for
socks,
protecting the house from the mail-man, chasing away intruding cats. Now
that dogs don't have to herd the sheep
or pull the sled, they are, quite frankly,
bored. They compensate by
trying to get your attention or alleviate their boredom in
inappropriate ways ... by chewing on the couch cushions
or barking at the neighbors or emptying the garbage onto the kitchen
floor.
The training
programs at Pawsitive Dog Solutions
re-establish the working
relationship between dog and human. In
exchange for room, board and affection, your dog is trained
to obey. I've used the word "train" here,
but in fact, I encourage people to think of the process not so much as
"training" a dog, but "raising" a dog. You wouldn't expect a
child to
learn to read if she wasn't enrolled in school, would you?
Dogs
are much like children in this regard: they need to be taught their
manners and helped to discover their life purpose.
At Pawsitive Dog Solutions,
in group classes or private lessons you will learn how to
raise your dog by using
treats, lots of loving attention, training games,
humane training devices and the secret knowledge of the
ancestral
wolf
pack. Your dog will start as a Pawsitive Dog Solutions WHITE BELT,
and with
consistent training on your part, each session will move her to a
higher level of obedience. In no time at all you will have
raised
a well-mannered dog, and with consistency and discipline over the
course of time, you can even have a Pawsitive Dog Solutions BLACK BELT
in the house!
Some dogs only need some obedience training, but
other
dogs have been looking for work for so long they have developed
behavioral problems such as:
Pawsitive Dog Solutions strives to achieve both inner and external
harmony in a home where a dog lives, but there's one
more reason that training dogs has helped me raise my
own levels of awareness to make gentle, simple changes in my life. As I
have gently established boundaries with my dogs, I have learned to
gently
establish boundaries with people. As I have taught dogs human manners,
they
have taught me much more: how to live in the present, how to enjoy
life's
simple pleasures, how to relax and be joyful, and how to let discipline
lead to
bliss. I
hope that by training
with Pawsitive Dog Solutions you too will feel the thrill of a dog’s
very own
version of harmony. Stella Cooper |
