Relationship Training – The Secret to Better Behavior

Genie Joseph on Pet Life Radio

If you can communicate with an animal, you can understand any behavior. All behavior is done to get a desired result – sometimes the desire of the human and the animal don’t match.  The Human-Animal Connection’s philosophy is that if we focus on relationship training – obedience is the result.  If you only focus on obedience, you run the risk of undermining trust and connection.  The good news is that relationship training (which is 75% teaching the human how to connect) is 300% more effective than fear-based and coercion training styles.  Positive training is good for the relationship, results in faster learning, and longer retention than dominance styles.  Learning what your dog considers rewarding makes training fun, easy and reliable.  Your dog will show you how they want to be treated -- if you are paying attention.
