DOG TRAINING
That sounds a little presumptuous, I know. It makes it sound like you're the only one in the relationship who could benefit from some fresh understanding & behavior change. I mean, there are two sides to the story, right?
Good news, kid. We understand.
Now there's finally an alternative to ``dog training`` that values your experience as much as your human family's, and can help everyone to get on the same page with something WAY better than ``dog training`` – Family Dog Mediation®.
Now that’s better, isn’t it? It feels good to be seen. We understand how tricky this modern world is for you guys – & how hard it can be for dog families like yours too. You family has just been trying to do what’s best for you, & until Family Dog Mediation®, your humans haven’t really had other options. That’s why we have broken the mold of the outdated concept of “dog training” & developed a new comprehensive service model – one that brings all parties to the table as having a voice & a responsibility to try to understand each other.
L.E.G.S.
LEARNING—your dog’s experiences and education
ENVIRONMENT—the many aspects of your dog’s external world
GENETICS—the DNA that designed your dog inside and out
SELF—the unique interior world of your dog: health, development, age, sex, and individuality
FAMILY HISTORY
You’re not just a blank slate for humans to write on. You’re a dog. And that means you’re an animal influenced by biology too. Even though people have gotten really keen on saying “it’s all how you raise them”, the very different kinds of canine cousins you see walking around out there didn’t arise by accident. All of those changes in shape, size, & behavior came about because humans carefully bred you dogs to be VERY different from each other in really significant ways. That history, & those differences you notice, are actually really important when it comes to understanding the full story of who you are.
So, if you’re a little bit curious about your ancestry, like many people are these days, and want to get the ball rolling on filling in some blanks before your first appointment with a FDM, you can get started right away by digging into that leg of Genetics. This piece of the puzzle is very important, as it tells you & your family about the possible natures & needs you were born with – what kind of “key” you are & what kind of “lock” you were made for. It can make all the difference in the world to understand how your ancestry might be influencing your actions without you even knowing it, really taking the weight of unrealistic judgement & expectations off of both you & your family.
