Original 1996 Edition of the revolutionary dog behaviour and training know how acknowledged as "The Harmony Program" for dog training advisors, trainers and counselors.
Includes "Good Dog" Guide.
The basic presuppositions of the Harmony programme lie in the idea that a war or a competition produces losers, not winners.
After exploitation "Dominance Reduction Programmes" for several time, it became apparent that in several cases these could be extremely annihilating to relationships between dogs and owners, and could lead to the presenting behaviour and training problems escalating, rather than being treated successfully.
The Harmony Programme turns the Dominance Reduction Programme inside out and instead, constitutes a set of treatment strategies for behaviour problems which:
- work to increase several the owners and the dogs confidence and self esteem.
- remove power struggles in every aspect of the dog/owner interaction;
- remove conflict, instead of adding conflict;
- foster understanding, compromise and connection between dog & owner;
- create a sanctuary space of love, trust and understanding in which behaviour problems may heal rapidly.
- create a much certain environment, instead of devising the dog's environment ever much chilling and unpredictable;
