P4p

After taking Bomber (Blue Bonnet) into our home as a foster we fell in love. She fit our family perfectly! So...we adopted her. Thank you Stray Rescue of St. Louis. It's not uncommon for our clients to say "well he/she doesn't act like that for us!" Why is that? Dogs respond to calm energy. They react to body language. They acknowledge with posture... , eye contact, mouth, ear and tail positions. They often act out of instinct, a force which most of us have yet to begin to recognize in ourselves. These subtleties often go unrecognized by pet owners. P is For Puppy (P4P) will show you how to let go of frustration, anger, embarrassment, and even fear in exchange for an energy that will inspire your dog to follow commands and respect boundaries. Our method is to help you become more familiar with the animal in your dog, and to satisfy those animal needs! P4P will help you to develop into a calm and assertive leader by providing enough exercise, both physical and mental, and to set consistent boundaries and rules. Much due to the popularity of Cesar Millan, the dog training community has been rekindled to be split into those who teach "Positive Reinforcement" only, and those who are branded as "Alpha Dog" trainers. Those methods are often associated with punishing dogs, repeatedly forcing them into submissive postures, kicking, choking or forcing helplessness on dogs until they give into the trainer. While we agree most poor behaviors can be resolved with redirection or desensitization, we believe it is not abuse to perform oral ("No!") or leash corrections to set boundaries or apply reinforcement. Positive only techniques can take hundreds of repetitions and weeks of time to product results; unfortunately this is the reason most dog owners find themselves in this situation to begin with: little patience, even less consistency. P4P to the rescue. In home dog behavior modification. Andy, Sara, Bishop and Bomber.Read More
