Training Animals Needs A Trusting Relationship!

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.

The hard approach is similar to a child who is doing what they are told in the fear of the consequence. This child can be very submissive and show insincere behaviours, finding it hard to express them selves and shows emotional sensitivity.

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.

Have a look at the video below which uses a method based on building trust between an animal and a human. Creating a relationship by helping them to find peace of mind.

When you have a relationship with an animal based on a feeling of trust then you have that special balance. Then there is no need to shout or be aggressive with your animal training, it would make no sense. With trust the human naturally finds the balance where they can help and teach their animal with no fears.

Your animal with naturally listen to you when they share this feeling of trust, as you will be someone who is trust worthy.

Animal training is making a huge shift forward by a small majority of dog trainers and horses trainers that are here to show another way. It is not the animals that need to change, it is us!
