K9 Conduct is dedicated to providing the education needed in order to understand your dog and their pschology, your dogs' behaviour and how you can change it. Without committment, then the undesirable behaviour will remain and likely become worse and more difficult to manage. Many people often expect that their dog should understand what they want but they have not educated the dog to relate a command to an action. This creates a frustrated owner, a confused dog and behaviours that continue because the dog simply hasn't been given other desirable options. Your communication with your dog has to be clear and real each and every time you want something in order for your dog to understand. There has to be intention each an every time. You have to be consistent each and every time. The ultimate goal is to restore balance in your dog and in you. Anyone can have a dog that cooperates but the dog needs to educated. This is achieved through patience, time and consistency.
Perhaps the most important thing above all else is being a master of your emotions. Unless you are aware and in control of yourself and your emotions, and what you are feeling in any moment, it doesn't matter what you do, or don't do - nothing will work. If you are nervous, frustrated or tense, you will project that to your dog and those around you. What you feel is what you project.
You will be taught how you can change your dog's behaviour by first changing your own,and given the information you need to establish control. You will be given the tools needed to provide what your dog has been missing - structure. You will exercise these tools everday with determination to make a difference, and focus on the progress instead of setbacks. You can see results immediately if you know what want and are doing things the right way with the right energy, but long term success requires 100% committment every single day. Your dogs' success depends on you.
