Training is the most important aspect of raising a dog.

Quite literally, a well trained dog is by far a happier, safer and healthier dog!  Why? For one thing, because a trained dog requires fewer restrictions. The more reliable the dog, the more freedom he is given, the more attention he gets, and the more enjoyable the relationships with everybody.

Training serves to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. It builds communication, understanding, and mutual respect.

So, when company arrives in your home, there's no need to banish a well-behaved dog to another room for fear that he will be a nuisance. Moreover, because a well-mannered, obedience-trained dog is both appreciated and welcome, he receives more attention and interaction from family members, visitors, and passers-by, than does the ill-mannered dog.

Training is vital to a long & happy association with your dog.

Dog Whisperer's Fast Start:

 

Education:  Dog Whispering

A bit of controversy has swirled as the term “Dog Whisperer” has been used by a number of trainers around the globe.

Although non-force animal training methods have been around for many decades, the term dog whisperer was popularized in the early 1990s, as an offshoot of horse whispering. (My book appeared in 1999). As a result, gone were the uses of choke, prong and shock collars and the aversive training methods of physical punishment...

...No longer were dogs treated with “tough love” by being hit, jerked, shocked and pinned to the ground. Frightened dogs were no longer physically forced into situations they were afraid of and all these were replaced with kindness and compassion

As we use the term, dog whispering is more about educating ourselves about dogs and their behavior than it is about educating or training our dogs, although that is certainly an important aspect. Non-force dog whispering helps us develop our empathy and our understanding, making us more humane and more human. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “If peace is our goal, then our means must be peaceful.”
