After 39 years of researching, studying and working with Canides (Noun. Any animal of the dog family Canidae, including the wolves, jackals, hyenas, coyotes, foxes, and domestic dogs.). All Dogs of All Breeds are born “neutral” – (having no strongly marked or positive characteristics or features). Meaning, that they are not born with any bad behaviours that are displayed later in their life. Such
as: Aggression, Dominance, separation anxiety, fear, shado chasing, fly chasing, constant fence and boundary barking, pulling on the lead, lead aggression, jumping up on people, dominating humans and other dogs, general disobedience, recall etc… In fact; any kind of unwanted behaviours they may display in later stages of their lives, especially after 5-6 month of age, are scientifically proven evidence and a direct result of early learnt (wrong or bad) behaviours which they learn FROM US HUMANS. Those bad behaviours we all refer to, are a result of; “IMPRINTING” which is learnt in their very early stages of life, and it can be from us or from another environment they came from. By the time most dogs reach 4 month of age (16 weeks old) , they are already “Adolescence” – This means that it is the transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs between and during the period from puppy to adulthood. So, all those bad dog behaviours humans refer to, are called; “Learnt Behaviours” which we humans taught our dogs to develop. The point of this is; that every dog reaching 4 month or 16weeks of age, is no longer a puppy. It is already and Adolescent. All the bad behaviours most customers experience after 4 month of age, are a direct result of their environment, socialisation, and misunderstanding the complex social pack and hierarchy order requirements, including and not limited to; Rules, Boundaries, Limitations, socialisation, consistency…
Most people who call me, and saying: “I have a very badly behaved and temperamental dog, and I just reached the Wits’ End or my patience with my dogs behaviour”. You must understand, the dog was not born this way, it was manufactured either by you, or a direct resulted of his past history with previous owners, and can also be resulting from different previous circumstances, as many dogs are also adopted and rescued. Which means, you most likely inherited learnt problematic behaviours. Bottom line. ALL DOGS of ALL AGES and ALL BREEDS, can be very good dogs if we get adequately educated by a professional Dog Behaviourist with proven experience; in how to correctly handle and approach all different types of problematic behaviours.

WHY NOT SEND MY DOG AWAY TO BE TRAINED? Sending your dog away for training trains your dog but it doesn’t train YOU! Furthermore, it does not address the behavioural needs that are unique to your dogs’ behavioural issues in his environment. Successful rehabilitation of your dog demands the need for your dog to be trained in the Environment in which the behaviour occurs. If your dogs’ behavioural problem occurs at home, on a walk around the block or the local park, then that is where the dog needs to be trained. If you send your dog to be trained by a trainer in an external environment, the dog will learn to obey the trainer in that environment, where he feels neglected, abandoned and in unfamiliar territory. Firstly, your dog will lose respect for you, as your dog feels he has been abandoned. The intense training session is a distraction for him at the time as he is in a different environment, but as soon as he is home he will revert back to his established behaviours. Your dog would have learnt to respect the individual trainer who trained him, but in turn, loses respect for his owner.
