Example text

Gaining everyone’s cooperation, especially the dog’s, was important. The dachshund did not think that people were coming to his rescue, but rather that they were threatening his existence. ” Charging down the middle of the street was his defensive response to the perceived danger that stemmed from a high level of fear and anxiety. Understanding the canine drive of that dog in that moment was critical. A drive is a dog’s natural instinct that motivates his actions and reactions to people, places and things.

He’s on the couch, jumping on strangers or peeing in the house because he thinks it’s acceptable behavior. “No” may have been said, but how was it said and, more important, how was it heard? You may have told him not to do something, but did you redirect his behavior to a desired one?
