 | Dogs
are pack animals and need a pack hierarchy system with rules, limitations & boundaries
in order to survive.
Learning the basics of dog psychology will help you
to understand things from a dogs point of view. All to often we humanise our dogs
and expect them understand and follow our language. We need to understand that
dogs are animals and have different needs and ways of communicating to us!
Nikki
believes that most dog training around today is outdated and still leaves the
dog owner with alot of questions unanswered. |  |
 | Nikki
Believes
Classic
dog training classes are great for socialising your dog with other dogs and to
get your dog to work for treats with the basic command like sit, stay, heel &
come. However, these classes are not set in the dog's natural environment, so
whilst the dog might show good manners in class, the dog owners often still have
problems when they take their dogs back home and out on the walk.
Nikki
believes that you need to establish the pack leaders position, before you try
and train your dog to do anything, If the dog naturally sees you as the leader
and takes the position of follower, it will respond to your requests out of respect
rather than bribery with a treat. With alot of the treats on today's market containing
sugars and EC preservatives, you can in fact make the dog more hyperactive and
untrainable with these added chemicals. |
Nikki's
methods work purely with the dog's natural pack mentality in its own environment
on a 1-2-1 basis. This can achieve the results you want in a far healthier and
natural way that gets immediate and long lasting results!
Nikki knows
that to gain your dogs respect and become the pack leader you need to bridge the
gap in communication with your dog by understanding what it is trying to tell
you. Good communication skills are the key to becoming a great pack leader and
Nikki's 1-2-1 sessions will provide you with everything you need to know in order
to become the pack leader in your dogs eyes. |  |
In
a dogs world they think about 2 things? Am I the leader? Or Am I the follower!
So

dogs follower!
