The founding principles of Train a Dog is that what is most natural about the dog, its wildest essence, is good, and that dogs are social by nature. Even with the most troubling ‘problem behaviors’, nothing is “broken” and so nothing needs to be “fixed”. This is because dogs perceive the world and respond to it according to its laws, rather than according to human reason.

By appealing to this fundamental aspect of a dog’s mind and centering our training models around this idea, a dog’s cooperative and loving nature can become the most pronounced aspect of its character. While one may come to Train a Dog with questions about behavior, or help with obedience, Train a Dog's methods are successful because it is all about working with this aspect, – with your dog’s energy, rather than fighting against it.

The difference in Train a Dog is the recognition that energy itself is a form of information: not only does it animate a dog, but it actually informs him how to behave. This means that a dog already knows how to heel, sit, down, stay, come when called, – no matter what! Our actual job in training then, is not to teach him these things, but simply to elicit them and create situations where he can naturally express them. The Train a Dog difference is the goal for our pets to feel good when they are expressing these commands. Finally, Train a Dog contends that the alpha doesn’t teach wolves or dogs to be ‘obedient’, or even to hunt,- they automatically know how to do it because the properties of energy are always informing the dog how to behave, but also because of exposure in a supportive environment.

This is what we have to recreate with our dog: an emotional group climate which our dogs intuitively synchronizes his actions to, in order to be in harmony with his group. Based on these groundbreaking principles, Train a Dog will teach you how to build a relationship between your dog and its training program, leaving your pet calm, balanced and in 100% accord with you, its owner. You will learn how to become a part of your dog’s nature, – and what will lead you away from it. Whether you are training a young pup, or are trying to solve problem behavior resistant to other approaches, Train a Dog will hand you the tools necessary to handle the wolf in your dog.
