Dog Training: Brain Training Your Dog

Honestly… I know its hard.

Stylish

For those of us that wanted a dog so badly that we made countless promises to our parents suggesting they would not feel the slightest comfort…it can be hard.

Sometimes (MANY TIMES!) its irritating and down right exhausting just trying to understand other people…let alone a dog!

This raises an interesting question (though rhetorical!): If we being humans, sometimes have *trouble* understanding our own species, how do we expect to understand the mind of a species that walks on four legs, cannot talk and certainly cannot cook up hot delicious cookies!?

To do the impossible and make this short, your answer is…we cannot! Got that? The answer is “can” with a “not”: cannot. I know movies are cool and all but unfortunately no man/woman is born with an inherent ability to naturally understand animals. If this puts a frown on your face, you’re not built for this! However, if you understand that mastering anything is a process of learning with time, effort, and concentration, then please stay tuned!

That dog knows everything about me!

There are people fascinated by trying to get in the mind of this four legged beast. It is pretty exciting if you think about it. Adrienne Farricelli is an author that has written a comprehensive book on this subject (Dog Training) titled: Brain Training for Dogs.

The book has been received extremely well with a Goodreads score of 4/5!

But…Oh the dread!

Some of us are terrible readers!

I get it…which is why luckily Farricelli has started an online program which *FOR ME* would be preferable. If you want to skip the part where I inform you on it’s icy-cool content…and would like to explore the program for yourself, you can click here (yeah the four-letter word that has an underline…click that).

I would highly recommend you stay and read first, since that is what I would tell myself!

The program is highly critical of current/popular methods for dog training. As you can derive from the title, the program puts a Large and heavy emphasis on the mind (Mental inspection) of your dog. Here’s a direct quote from the program:

“Dog training programs today fail to engage your Dog on a mental level, and fail to develop his/her intelligence. With enough mental stimulation — many problem behaviors simply melt away”

Flawless

The program highlights the importance of addressing the root cause of the problem and states that other programs often give “cookie-cutter answers”. For those of you who love their pets, but can’t stand the thought of being dominant over them, the program has this to say to you:

“Most dog training programs use OUTDATED force and dominance techniques. This is proven NOT to work by the latest research. My methods are force-free and gentle. They rely on the latest science in dog behavior research to create a strong bond between you and your dog and create positive emotions in your dog as opposed to fearful ones. They only reinforce the behaviors you want.”

In my humble opinion, from my experience, scientific research is always a sturdy wall to rely on. Understanding the neurology, studies, and psychology of animals is a vital step to conditioning.

So let’s see an example of this program shall we?

Maggie’s Jumping Problem (Come on Maggie!)

The video above provides an example of a specific problem, it’s identification, and the steps taken further to target the problem!

Additionally, in the beginning, the video shows examples of what is called “Conditioning” in Psychology.

Notice how easily the problem is solved!

Here is another one (since I know you love the demonstrations so much!):

Notice again! How the problem is identified, thoroughly examined and answered.

If that was helpful to you, the program wants you to know that there’s a lot more, where that came from!

One unique aspect of the program is that it takes initiative to make dog training fun for you and your pet! What is more fun than games!? The program offers over 21 games:

Here is another secret example of just ONE of the fun training games:

Before I give my final thoughts, here is an example of the process you will progress through while learning how to train your dog:

Yay Modules!

So do I recommend this program? The answer is Yes! I have read the reviews, and ratings, and according to them, the program is phenomenal.

There is a great amount of detail (as you see above) that I could not include due to a lack of time. Click this link to find out great information I could not include.
