| Introduction The inspiration for the name of our dog training business came when we took off our dog's collar and he looked great naked! plus it really says everything about our philosophy of dog training.
Less Leash, More Control is our byline. Our 'naked' philosophy is that a dog should be managed, ultimately, by voice and/or body language. A naked dog is an educated dog. It knows its place in the world. He's our animal companion rather than merely a pet.
Can you take off your dog's collar and still have him under voice control?
Dogs don't naturally behave the way we want them to behave; they must learn to adjust to a human environment. When we train, we aren't looking to end up with a spit-and-polish dog who obeys our every command with military precision but rather, to establish leadership and promote respectful submission by using the things they like to do as reinforcement for things we want them to do. Set the rules and they will follow most of them and be rewarded.
By teaching your dog that he can rely on you to be their source of fun, you'll find that your relationship with your dog will naturally improve. When your relationship matures, both you and your dog will enjoy each others company.
While under the tutelage of UK renown dog trainer and author John Rogerson who wrote the The Dog Vinci Code in India 2012, he provided us with even a better understanding on how we can harness our dog's natural abilities to get our canine friends to be our natural companion animals.
Let's inspire some balance into our lives. The time that you put into managing your dog in your environment will reward you and your dog for years to come. The question is.... how do you get there?
