Humans have so many different opinions when it comes to training animals. There is what is known as the old school training and this is usually based on the idea that we are the superior being and animals had better do as we command or there will be trouble.
Humans have so many different opinions when it comes to training animals. There is what is known as the old school training and this is usually based on the idea that we are the superior being and animals had better do as we command or there will be trouble. Then there is the complete opposite, where the human is letting their animals do as they please even when the behaviour is is clearly out of place. Usually with the pretence that they love their animals too much to correct them. Of courses there are many stages between the two, so what is the right balance? Where can we find the place where both the animal and the human are happy and well behaved? So to get a better understanding lets look at these two extremes and what is happening on an emotional level. The hard approach is similar to a child who is doing what they are told in the fear of the consequence. This child can be very submissive and show insincere behaviours, finding it hard to express them selves and shows emotional sensitivity. We can see this with horse training, this type of horse is not relaxed in its work and has jumpy movements. Basically their mind is so busy wondering what is going to happen that they find it hard to be present enough to really hear what is being asked. The other end of the scale is also suffering. With the animal not having any direction shown to them by the human they have to take the responsibility for them selves. When they can't cope with these situations they end up loosing confidence and trust. For example a dog can become over protective and aggressive. This animal is also racing in their minds producing too much emotion to find their own confidence. Below is a video showing a balanced way to help animals find peace of mind. This creates trust between the animal and the human and develops a meaningful relationship. There is a balance that is very special and this can be created through trust. Then clearly there is no place for old dominant behaviour from the human. Why would there be any need if both the human and animal had this strength of relationship. When you have the trust of your animal it naturally listens to you and will come to you for guidance because you are trust worthy! Animal training is making a huge shift forward by a small majority of dog trainers and horses trainers that are here to show another way. It is not the animals that need to change, it is us!
