Reading of chapter 1 of Natural Dog Training - What is the problem?
Done for the love of dogs and because a lot of dogs get killed every
day because simple behavior problems could not get resolved in
everyday families. Kevin Behan developed the Natural Dog Training theory after noticing the similarities between how well behaved and orchestrated wolves hunt in
a group and the cooperation required in high drive police dog work.
Natural Dog Training has something to offer which - if everyone dealing with dogs knew - would do them and us a lot of good. It is a different paradigm - with new concepts - and a few techniques that both work and respect the nature of the dog.
What Natural Dog Training is NOT
NOT based on Dominance and Submission
NOT a derivation of positive (R+) training methods, clicker training
NOT just a basic obedience regimen
Learn to achieve harmony and balance
Resolve aggression and problem behaviors
Teach coming when called, sit-stay-down and more
Excellent Approach to Developing a Strong and Reliable Companion
This method of training really works in a real life every day run of
the mill home. It is presented in a clear, concise easy to understand
way that explains the theory, gives examples and provides easy to
follow step by step directions while addressing a variety of issues
that may apply to you and your dog. … This book is the only book you
need to raise the best companion you will ever have.
Mind Blowing Perspective
This book has changed the way I look at and understand my dogs. This
isn’t the kind of book you can read in one weekend – I find that I
need time for the ideas and theories to soak in fully, then I will re-
read again. Even if you don’t intend to train your dog using Behan’s
methods, the dog training community should be giving credence to his
understanding of dogs and how they feel.
Natural Dog Training
A New Theory for the social organization of dogs (and animals)
A training method that works with your dogs energy, rather than
against it
A paradigm shift in the way we look at animals, our relationships
with our pets and in understanding nature
