Dog whispering experts employ the use of voice and observed body language in a calm but firm method to train a dog appropriate responses and behaviors. It involves an understanding of dog psychology and building a strong, trustful relationship between human owner and the dog.
One of the keys to successful dog whispering is to treat the dog with respect in order to earn trust. The dog must also learn that they are not the pack leader. They are by nature and instinct pack animals and need leadership from the alpha member of the group.
Dog whispering creates an understanding between the human and the dog that the human is the alpha member of the pack. This authoritative role is communicated by simple lessons such as the dog going through a door after the human trainer and by requiring a dog to sit prior to eating and by requiring the dog to walk abreast the owner when out for a walk. These are just a couple of examples of body language and commands used to express pack leadership.
Dog whispering emphasizes calm vocal language rather shouting stern commands and not give praise in an over exuberant manner as this may indicate a loss of control and lack of consistency to the dog.
What ever method and term is used the most important part is consistent response, calm demeanor and firm commands are the important part.
Dogs need regular activity to keep them physically fit and psychologically stimulated. The dog then will be far less likely to use energy on undesirable activities, such as digging in the trash or chewing your favorite shoes. Excess energy can also cause distractions and poor results. Appropriate, regular exercise is essential for preparing your dog and important for achieving the success of dog whispering.
