Behind the Scenes...

Posted by jennifer on February 21, 2008 in Career.

O.k. folks, here's a little insight for you as to what goes on when I'm not working with you and your dogs. Many people around me know that when I'm working, I can be extremely focussed almost to the point of obsessive about my research and bringing everything I can into my sessions and classes. For instance, It's now 10 p.m. and the last three hours I've spent on the computer researching sensory systems in animals, audio frequencies and reviewing Monty Roberts techniques on Natural Horsemanship. Now you may ask "What in the world does this have to do with dog training?" Actually, it has everything to do with dog training. This is what seperates me from the competition and probably why you didn't choose to go to a local chain store for advice on a behavioral problem. Something I may have learned from a person trained in studying the human brain just might be a link to a case with an aggressive dog who has an owner with a panic disorder.
Out of box solutions is my way of re-inventing a service that has many years of tradition and hence has lead me to profound results that have been proven to work time and time again. The foremost way to a dog's brain is to comminicate with them on their level. Once this is done, the rest is easy. There are so many animals (not just dogs) that are looking for ways to work or have a job to do. Many dogs prefer to be of assistance to the pack just as they naturally would in the wild.
This year in 2008, things are only going to get better. You can read here on my blog my attempt to re-introduce myself to a wolf who bit me several times in the face. She was only doing her job- protecting her adoptive pups but the last time I saw her, she still hadn't forgotten. Will this opportunity prove that she can forget the past and move forward into the future? I hope so as it will once again show me these creatures are truly remarkable.
Yellowstone will be calling me back into the wild and as my journey continues, I will be doing more research into the stray packs of feral dogs that roam the dangerous city streets of Los Angeles. Stay tuned for more and keep your mutts happy & healthy!
All my best,
Jennifer
