When I first started learning about animal training it was fully based on strict obedience and “dominating your pack”. Over the years though I felt more and more uncomfortable with this method, as while it gave quick results it also could create new behavior issues and not everyone was capable of maintaining the kind of power and control needed. I started doing some search of new methods being introduced and experimenting other ways. I came to discover once again that, as often in life, what is considered the norm is often incorrect. For example, the research on wolves from which the dominating your pack rule originated was outdated and flawed. We now know wolves do not dominate the pack as much as grow their pack around them.
Thanks to the internet, I was able to access a growing new insight and research into how and why animals respond the way they do. However, it was not until I starting working in national parks in Africa that I truly started understanding how communication works in nature. We humans put so much emphasis on vocal sounds and words that we forget how fundamental body language is.
I started trying to implement similar body language I would have used towards an elephant or a lion in my approaching. In the following years, in a project with an animal shelter Mbwa wa Africa, we would rescue street dogs, rehabilitate them physically and then train and socialize them so to more easily be able to integrate and find them a proper home.
I am not a laureate, everything I know is through extensively varient experience and working since I was a kid. I approach every animal with a sense of discover and try to detect their instinctive reactions through how they react physically to their environment. In my training I predominately use positive conditioning and reinforcement. I am not very interested in teaching tricks or commands beyond the basics needed, rather I want to create a clear understanding between them and their human pack. I believe that once it is clear to both parties how to clearly communicate their needs, wants, and limitations it creates a calm and peaceful household and surrounding to live their lives, increasing the chance that they will both be happy.
