Dog behaviors are complex. I teach subject matter that is complex, but understandable. Anything worth knowing or doing is complex and initially difficult to know and accomplish. If you avoid difficulty, you will not likely become skilled at what you intend. There is no simple button to push. The deeper you get into a study the more you realize there is never an end to learning.
Many limit themselves to a narrow band of what they know and do, and never step outside of that comfort zone. For trainers this becomes a very narrow clientele with only a small range of behaviors and types of dogs they will take on. There is a great competition amongst trainers for the same 50% - 60% of the dogs “in the middle”. That competition causes mercenary splits in theories of “training”, vying for the same clients. Everyone thinks they are right. They paint themselves into a corner against everyone else, because they see others as competitors, instead of cooperative resources for other possibilities and referals. This is the thinking of a protective and limited spiral downward. Any educational attempt is only what corroborates how they already think and know collecting another “tool in their tool box”. The C-HRI is here to explode the toolbox philosophy. We teach what others don’t or can’t. We teach what you need to know, not just what you want to know.
Many think it is too complicated. It scares them, from the outside. What is telling is that trainers and non-trainers learn at close to the same rate. That is telling for subject matter. That means that anyone is capable of learning and comprehending what is taught in depth. It also means that these are valuable aspects that are needed and not taught in this depth and method.
Ask the people (trainers and non-trainers) who have progressed to sequential levels. We understand it is truly an investment in time, effort and money. Obviously those who have pursued this education have thought and proven it valuable beyond their investment in it. It goes beyond a simple class, course or seminar. Ask them how they have changed, what they have gotten from it. Those are the people you should talk to. It isn’t about the “shiny thing” trying to get your attention. It is about securing your life.
We are not in competition with anyone else. No one else provides this, anywhere. It is our obligation to provide the most in-depth and comprehensive educational opportunities at all levels of your participation.
We also recommend many other educational opportunities for you. A broad range of knowledge, in all aspects, is important to create balance in your own world.
