Training Animals Is All About Relationship!
There are so many different approaches when it comes to training animals. The old school way, this is through the feeling of we are more superior and is based on dominance. The animal had better do what it is told!
Then there is the complete opposite, where the human is letting their animals do as they please even when the behaviour is is clearly out of place. Usually with the pretence that they love their animals too much to correct them.
What happens between these two examples is what makes up the many training methods out there. So what is the right approach that suits both the animals and the humans needs?
Let have a look at these two ways and see what is happening for the animal on an emotional level.
This hard approach has the animal responding through a fear aspect. They will do what is being asked in the fear of the consequence of not doing it. You can clearly see this in the repressed overly submissive behaviour.
When we train horses in this way they are not relaxed and their movement is jumpy, there minds are far too busy thinking of what might go wrong to be able to full concentrate on what is being asked.
The opposite can be just as emotional, with no guidance, they are left with too much responsibility. When they do not know what to do in a situation they are responding through their fear rather than learning from the human. Long term lack of confidence with extreme cases in dogs can showing aggressive and protective behaviour.
The same thing is happening in both cases the mind of the animal is too fast and this produces excess levels of emotion.
I would like to show you a way of finding the right balance! Have a look at the video below. This is showing clearly that we can help an animal to be peaceful and this in turn creates the one true element needed in a good relationship, trust.
There is a balance that is very special and this can be created through trust. Then clearly there is no place for old dominant behaviour from the human. Why would there be any need if both the human and animal had this strength of relationship.
When you are trust worthy in the eyes of your animal then they naturally listen to you for guidance and are ready to learn.
There is a big shift in animal training, it is becoming increasingly obvious that there are better ways that are so much more rewarding. to make this happen it is not the animal who need to change, it is us!
