Here is my humble opinion about love:
YES, TO SAVE A DOG ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE:
If LOVE to you is committing to teach your dogs from compassion and patience not anger.
If LOVE to you means fulfilling your dogs needs every day.
If LOVE to you is realizing inappropriate behavior is never the dog’s fault. There is always a reason and nothing “just” happens.
If LOVE to you is more than petting and talking in a high pitched voice.
If LOVE to you is being honest with yourself and realizing anger and punishment are never based on love.
If LOVE to you is giving your dogs daily mental and physical outlets.
If LOVE to you is setting up your dog for success.
If LOVE to you is realizing there is no such thing as a perfect parent. But is possible to be a better dog parent everyday.
If LOVE to you is dedicating time each day to show your dog the world around them in a safe and positive way.
If LOVE to you is more than hugging, petting, kissing and cuddling your dog but also providing proper mental and physical stimulation that promotes positive cognition skills, proper manners and confidence. Then it’s true, all you need is LOVE.
About me: As a child, I always loved animals, unfortunately allergies kept me from having any. Because of this adversity I closely observed the behaviors of homeless pets and noticed a lack of trust between myself and the scared animals. Through this observation I gained enough knowledge to form a bond without compromising my own well-being.
A true connection can mean the difference between life and death. I learned that tragic lesson through miscommunication with my own dog Hooch. A lot of years of self blame and guilt passed by until I met Ed Reyes a police dog trainer, who helped me fine tune my method. He opened my eyes to the animals natural instincts and perception.
This education is what I share, the animals respond and adapt their behaviors to their surroundings. By educating people the dogs are set for a lifetime of benefits.
I do talk the talk and walk the walk by helping many rescue dogs and people.
I have been learning professionally since 1997 and continues to do so about dog behavior and cognition skills for dogs and people. I am passionate about dog cognition and dog and people interactions. I believe that earning a dog’s trust can help you to understand and bond with your dog faster and easier without pain or intimidation. This requires a new awareness of how your actions influence your pet’s actions. I help people comprehend how our four legged friends naturally behave amongst one another and how they communicate with each other. I’m dedicated to those who seek to learn. For those who want to help and explore their dog’s mind, learn how dog’s learn, and learn a bit about themselves.
