Not Listening / Disobedience
Commanding dogs has become as much a part of
our Western civilization as disobedient dogs. Because dogs in the wild do not command each other, domestic dogs (who still retain their original pack
instincts) are therefore not designed to receive commands. Which explains why dogs disobey.
Quite simply, they do not understand us, and commanding a dog works from the false premise that our dog understands us and is being very bad by
deliberately disobeying us - and must therefore be subordinated.
Dogs do, however, have the capacity to learn words, and even sentances, provided they are not directed emotionally (i.e. combined with anger) at the dog. This causes dogs to perceive them as a challenge, and instead of hearing words, their instincts compel them to rise to the challenge, which we mere humans interpret as disobedience. This is demonstrated very clearly in the Before and After Learning Dog Language Home Move.
But when we shift our perspective, and look at ourselves through the eyes of the dog instead of vice versa, there is no need for verbal arsenal
("being firm" is just another way of losing your temper), because your dog will understand you immediately. When someone doesn’t
understand you, saying it louder isn’t going to help.
The demo video Before and After Speaking Dog Language
demonstrates all this so clearly. You even see dogs deliberately trying to provoke commands out of their owners (because of the power it gives them
from making someone react), then giving up "being naughty" when it no longer works for them. And the numerous letters that Pam receives
from deeply grateful dog owners also demonstrates how well these simple principles work. (And you can be sure that their dogs are also hugely
grateful for being understood.)
Dog training schools that use the Language of the Pack as opposed to imposing human logic onto dogs have a far higher success rate (no dog has ever
been "expelled") and they all complete their course in three weeks.
Most of the dog owners report back after the first session that their dogs are already better behaved at home.
Dogs are not stupid. They are also not disobedient. They are confused. So if we are supposed to be the more intelligent of the two species -
cano-sapeins and homo-not-so-sapiens - it therefore makes total sense to cross the communication crevasse ourselves, and communicate with dogs on their level.

Dogs are hyperactive when their adrenalin levels are up. The more we try to use a quick fix by disciplining them, trying to “get rid of their energy”, telling them no, commanding them to go outside, “relieving their boredom” with toys, etc., the more adrenalin surges we unwittingly cause in our dog's central nervous system, causing yet more serious long term problems.
Dogs are not automatically our best friend. Dogs were made to live with dogs, and people were made to live with people. So when we work from the false premise that dogs are automatically man's best friend – as the current dog system does, – our behaviour around dogs is inappropriate, causing adrenalin surges, that cause hyperactiveness, disobedience etc.
So what is the answer? To acknowledge the scientific fact that dogs are potentially our best friend. And to develop that potential! And this essential and unique shift in perspective is the reason why Pam's Natural Dog Training is so successful. There is no such thing as a disobedient dog – only a confused dog.
By identifying the source of our dog's adrenalin, (which is what Pam does for you) and removing it, (which Pam shows you how), we become our dog's best friend – and vice versa. Then our dog no longer sees life through a cloud of adrenalin, and there fore no longer make misjudgments (the way you see the “hyperactive” Staffie on the video Before and After Learning Dog Language crash into the huge iron gate that he simply did not see. Hyperactive dogs bump into people, knock people over, bully smaller dogs, chase children that are playing… it is all adrenalin-induced behaviour. So once the source of adrenalin is removed (commands being one of them, because they think we are barking) – bingo, you have a calm, well behaved, trustworthy dog that does not “have to” be commanded, disciplined, taken to training… He now understands what we are saying to him, and no longer make adrenalin-induced misjudgments. Simply child's play!
Chasing Cats
You might think that some dogs "just chase cats", and there's nothing you can do to stop them.
If you treat only the symptom of cat chasing by trying to make your dog obey, or by trying to make him submit to you, or by applying "positive and negative reinforcement" - however successful the programme may appear to be - the desire to chase the cat still remains. So your dog will still continue to torment his feline sibling whenever he gets an opportunity and thinks he can get away with it. Unfortunately, when we command our dog to leave the cat, he actually thinks we are barking at the cat, so of course he hears the opposite to what we are saying. Which is not so nice. And explains why your dog seems to be disobedient, and why he actually chases the cat more .
However, when you treat the root cause of the problem the way Natural Dog Training teaches you, the success rate in curing cat chasing is very high indeed. And if it is nipped in the bud, it is 100% curable - even in breeds like Bull Terriers. Natural Dog Training has a proven solution. Pam's house calls, Living with an Alien, her booklet on curing adrenalin related problems, and her home training kit will all give you the solutions that you are looking for!
Both Pam and the IICMH specialize in educating people to both prevent predation occurring, and to reverse it, once it has started manifesting itself. Unfortunately, most of the profits of the mainstream dog system come from treating the symptoms of predatory behavior, so don’t expect support from them.
Pam and the IICMH study dog behaviour in the wild, and in the dog’s own home – NOT in laboratories, or in army simulated situations – where the solutions to the behavior problems that dog owners are seeking cannot possible by found.
What Pam and the team teach dog owners is that in a balanced ecology, dogs only hunt for 4 out of 24 hours. For the rest of the time, there is harmony between prey and predator, and between members within the dog community – and their teaching is dedicated to educating pet owners how to understand and apply the natural (and very kind and very simple) conditions that prevail in order to allow the harmony, mutual trust, mutual respect, mutual loyalty, mutual cooperation, mutual affection – all the things that we get dogs for – to exist in our homes. (Which bring no profit to the burgeoning dog behaviour industry.) And then, how to stretch these conditions from 4 hours out of 24 to 24 hours out of 24, because 4 hours hunting per day can still cause a lot of chaos.
And the joy of it is – dogs are not suppressed through applying these natural laws! It simply brings them security, peace of mind and the fulfillment of being understood and in harmony with their families, visitors, their life style and with the other pets. I am going to ask Mandy to email you some pictures of wild dogs that enhance the Feeding for Temperament research document, as I can see that you are very open to - and eager for – the CORRECT information.
When dogs go hunting, they go through three stages before the actual kill takes place. We are taught unwittingly by the profit driven dog industry to take our dogs through all those stages – and that is where you are now. After a hunt, the naturally goes back to where family living exists, and to where the prey is naturally ignored – and when applied in the home, all destructiveness, barking for nothing, pulling on the lead, dog fights… automatically go because the hunt has been shut down by restoring the Natural Rhythm of the Wild – which the artificial dog system thoroughly messes up, causing mayhem, misery, and lots of money for them.
The IICMH and Pam do not study the theories of the ego and profit driven dog behavior industry (who all “research” one another’s opinions and call it “being qualified” - they do their own objective and independent research in real life, where dogs live and interact spontaneously with one another, with their prey - and in many thousands of homes - with their families. Their results are therefore scientific - as in applying the natural principles that govern dog behaviour - not “scientific” as in a rigged profit-driven laboratory situations.
Pam and the IICMH are consulted by environmentalists and conservationists, and their work is endorsed by the medical profession, such as the Plastic Surgeon’s Association, and institutions such as the Child Accident Prevention Trust, and have assisted in improving sniffer dogs ability to detect land mines more accurately.
Now you know why Natural Dog Training’s approach is totally different. It therefore requires a very necessary, and very exciting mind shift in order to unlock a dog’s desire to please, instead of imposing human logic onto them, using drugs, gimmicks, bribery, muzzles, electric collars, clickers… the list gets longer as the market gets greedier, or try and break our pet dog’s will.
Only looking at the world and ourselves through the eyes of the dog, and learning how THEY think, communicate and perceive us and our actions can possibly provide the solution to your problem. Which explains why the behavior therapy and dog training success rate is abysmally low, and Natural Dog Training’s success rate is over 90%.
Pam’s Natural Dog Training Home Kit teaches dog owners how to shut down the hunt, and therefore how to develop our dog’s desire to please his leader, which is built into his genes – it does not have to be dominated into them! And mutual trust, affection, respect etc only exist in the wild when the dogs are NOT hunting!
And here is how Natural Dog Training works:
Natural Dog Training has an extremely high success rate in curing all behavior problems such as hyperactiveness, destructiveness, jumping on visitors, indoor soiling, barking for nothing, pulling on the lead, not coming when called, etc. kindly and permanently, simply through understanding your dogs on a deeper level, instead of trying to make them understand you. This is achieved without the use of any force or gimmicks – just through being correctly informed. The mainstream dog system only teaches dog owners how to treat superficial symptoms – never how to actually remove a dogs’ urge to be aggressive, destructive, etc… only Nature’s Formula for Obedience can give dog owners these and empowering tools with this (vital) and (unique) shift in perspective. You will do one on one training with Pam, and she will take you through the programme. She gives dog aggression top priority.
We, as a Western civilization – both laymen and dog experts, not only misunderstand – we also underestimate our pet dogs. They are actually not being disobedient – they are just confused! So once you understand how a dog’s mind works, how they communicate with each other, and therefore how they can misunderstand us - you will have the (willing) control over them that you are looking for.
Pam trains dogs around the world with her Home Kit, and the results of this shift in perspective are just as good as getting her in – which you can see at the link: http://www.naturaldogtraining.info/testimonials_homekit.html
I have attached details of how the Natural Dog Training Home Kit works - as well as how the Don’t be a Dope on a Rope leads work, which is included in the Home Kit - as dogs that don’t pull on leads, change their attitudes – and therefore their behaviour at home far more quickly! The sooner you start your programme, the easier it will be to rehabilitate your dog - so that you can enjoy him, control him, and be really proud of him. The attachment with an extract from the African Wildlife Foundation shows how Natural Dog Training unlocks the potential for harmony between and their families - through applying natural principles - instead of imposing the artificial rules given us by an ego- and profit- driven industry.
So it is important that you pay a visit to the New Research Findings at the following link, as they explain how these unnatural techniques that dog owners are all exposed to affect our “four legged childrens” behaviour in their own home - and the stress and confusion (and expense) they cause: http://www.naturaldogtraining.info/freetips.html
