Fear and Domination or Holistic Trust and Cooperation? These are our training choices.
Currently, animal training is based on control. Even positive 'reward-based' training is a communication going only one-way, and withholding of treats is a form of manipulation; the animal's opinion is usually not taken into account. "Do it my way" is the only message.
There is another way.
. . . and it is the wave of the future.
Coming into rapport with these special beings is an honor and a skill which takes a little development on our part, but the results are epiphanic!
If you want to discover a connection based on 2-way respect which will open your heart, try my training style. Not rooted in 'I say it, you do it', but instead in 'let's discover what works for us together', it results in a working relationship between you and your pet which is unbreakable.
