Dog Listening is the simple and effective
method of communicating to your dog, in a
language it instinctively understands, that
you are the dependable leader and
decision maker of your "pack."

In the wolf pack, as in the human family, the leaders (parents) are the decision makers, and survival of the pack depends on the willingness of each pack member to follow those decisions. In her study of wolves and wolf packs, Jan Fennell observed 4 main areas where leadership in the pack is continually reinforced:

                          1) Provision of Food
                          2) Leading the Hunt
                          3) Protecting the Pack
                          4) Reuniting after Separation.

Most behavior challenges we experience
with our dogs stem from the confusion about their “job description” in our human “pack.”

Much of the time we unknowingly communicate to our dogs the message that they, not we, are the leaders of our family "pack." Knowing instinctively that the pack must have a leader to survive, and believing that they have been elected as that leader, our dogs take on the overwhelming responsibility of a job they don't
know how to do (take care of a human pack) in a world they don't understand (our human world) without the ability to communicate to the rest of the pack (in our language). The only information our dogs have for leading our human pack is their wolf instincts.

A dog that thinks it must be the leader of its human pack will do that job to the best of its ability. Believing that it is responsible for providing food, leading the hunt, and protecting the pack, a dog who thinks it must be the leader may demonstrate its leadership in some of the following ways, to name just a few:

          Food Aggression: The leader always eats first!
       Pulling on the Leash: It's my job to lead the pack!
          Excessive Barking: I have to protect all of us!
      Separation Anxiety: I'm responsible for their safety,
                  and they're out there without me!

With Dog Listening you will learn to communicate to your dog that you are the capable and dependable leader of the pack. Once the pressure of being the leader of your human pack is removed from your dog, it will realize that its previous behaviors are no longer necessary, and problem behaviors
naturally subside. Your dog can then enjoy just being a happy,
content, and well-behaved member of your pack.

And you can enjoy the loving, stress-free
relationship you and your dog deserve.
