Dogs
Don't Believe in Democracy
I
have been helping owners improve their relationships with their dogs for over 8
years. Usually our one on one training sessions involved owners trying to understand why their dogs were not
behaving as expected. I found
that the same questions and answers were repeated over and over, session after
session. It didn't matter if the dog was a Miniature Poodle or a German
Shepherd, the concerns were nearly always the same.
To
better serve my clients, I compiled all this information in my booklet "Dogs Don't Believe in Democracy".
DDBD explains the
way that dogs view us, our relationships with them, and how they respond to the
various signals we give them on an everyday basis.
Information
for this booklet comes mostly from watching dogs interacting with other dogs: my own dogs, client's
dogs, breeders' dogs... one of the most helpful was a pack of 16 Siberian
Huskies, all living together as a fairly amicable group. Dogs do not
relate to people any differently than they relate to other dogs. Unfortunately,
too many owners expect dogs to act like people.
This
booklet has proved so popular that several veterinarians and dog trainers are
recommending it to their clients. It is now available by mail, information
on ordering is below.
