Canine Behavior Advisor ~ Walk with me on the path to understand your dog.

As a "Canine Behaviour Advisor", I can help you see what your dog is "saying" in certain situations and also listening to the owners' take on certain situations. I can then see where the mis-understanding may lie between owner and dog. Dogs "talk" to us ALL the time, but if we aren't "listening" to what they are trying to tell us, we miss out on so much.

 

I use ONLY kind methods of training. This is "dog training" through understanding and respect, where the dog chooses to cooperate willingly without any use of domination, force or gadgets. By understanding how the dog's see things, we can save it from all the unwanted behaviours that make both the dog's life and your own life with the dog a misery.

 

Dogs can show all kinds of behaviour that is “undesirable” to us, so we have to deal with things differently. To change the way that WE do things, we can help our dogs enormously.

 

Our four legged members of our families are such a huge part of our lives, intertwined in all the good times and bad. They are there for us in our time of need and never ask for anything in return. I think we owe it to them to learn how to speak their language, as we won’t ever be able to get them to speak our language! A dog would fill huge venues every day, to teach us humans what the world is like through their eyes!

Combining Positive Dog Training with TTouch For All Dogs of All Sizes!

TTouch is a gentle, positive teaching method that combines bodywork and ground exercises to improve co-ordination and balance. Good physical balance positively influences emotional and mental states, helping animals to be calmer, and improving their ability to focus. They become better able to develop self-control and self-confidence - the lack of which underlies most undesirable behaviours and interferes with the ability to learn.

 

TTouch is used around the world by shelter assistants, dog trainers, zookeepers, veterinarians, wildlife rehabilitators, and therapists of many different modalities. It lends itself to many training and therapeutic modalities, and often learning and using just a few of the simple body TTouches and rebalancing exercises can make a huge difference to an animal's life.

 

"My Dog, Evan and I, attended our second Tellington T-Touch training in April of this year, and during one of our sessions Lisa Sellman of Aloha Pet Care & Dog Training was guiding our group through the practice with Tellington T-Touch equipment. That was WOW! The way Lisa calmed not only my dog, but all of us, people, too, was beautiful. All of a sudden Evan began doing what he was asked to do , and I started to relax and understand clearly what I suppose to do! Lisa lead our group in a confident and respectful manner. I was very impressed with her unique ability to explain and teach. Lisa's knowledge of Tellington T-Touch, her Love of what she is doing, earned her a lot of respect from everybody. T-Touch is about Love, but I understand, that without good knowledge and experience, I wouldn't be able to deliver all the wonder of this touch.! Lisa's recommendations are a huge help, she is One Of The Best!"

A word from Linda Tellington-Jones who created TTouch

"Dogs enrich their owner's lives in so many ways with their gifts of unconditional love, friendship, and loyalty. We can all reciprocate by being mindful of the Canine Golden Rule: Treat your dog as you would like to be treated, and use the Ttouch method to reshape your dog's behavior with kindness and understanding. you will find it carries over in your attitude toward your family and even yourself. It encourages you to open your heart to embrace a happy, healthy relationship with your dog, as well as members of your own species."
