Did you know that too many dog training sessions are conducted without the trainer understanding what is really going on from the dog’s perspective? Because so many trainers don’t have an educational background in dog behavior, they resort to dominance and control and they communicate to you, the client, that you need to control and dominate your dog. Their reasoning behind these methods originate from the dominance theory about wolves, pack theory, and that you have to show your dog you are the Alpha - and from the behavioral psychology models that have dominated dog training for decades.
But the REAL reason behind any excuse to use dominance or control is a lack of understanding and the root cause behind it, which is fear. Fear makes you powerless. Nobody likes to feel powerless, which is why it is much better to empower yourself with knowledge.
This brings me to this thing, or tool, I have created…. A framework I call the Umbrella Framework. This is basically a framework for understanding what your dog needs MORE from you than training and to help prevent, reduce, and resolve behavior issues and experience REAL change for the long-haul.
The Umbrella Framework: Understand. Unplug. Unleash. Unfold.
-The Key to A Better Life With Your Dog.
The 4 Guiding Principles (Understand. Unplug. Unleash. Unfold.) form the umbrella of ‘Dog Life Navigation’, under which your dog’s C.O.M.P.A.S.S. helps you fulfill ALL his/her needs and balance his 4 L.E.G.S.®(the ONLY way to resolve behavior issues!) - leading to an enriched & nuanced life for you both.
Unconventional. Provocative. Disruptive. - (perhaps)…..but BETTER.
Thank you for listening with an open mind, heart, and soul,
Vivi MJ
