What is Holistic Dog Training?
As defined by Fritjof Cafra, the behavior of every living member of an ecosystem depends on the behavior of many others. In terms of dog training, holistic means looking at the dog as a whole, this is, as a network of interdependent parts that includes the dog's health, mind, social interactions and general wellbeing.
How a Holistic Trainer can Help your Dog?
Teaching a dog obedience training becomes easier when you learn about the different components that work together for the overall objective of the whole.
Holistic trainers believe that in addition to scientific learning theories to change dog behavior, the whole idea of training is to optimize, not to maximize results.
The trainer's tool box goes beyond a clicker or a leash. We give diet recommendations that can change behavior. We recommend natural and holistic dog remedies to improve behavior. We encourage dog owners to mantain the overall health of the dog in balance and visit often the veterinarian to accomplish this goal. Lastly, we evaluate the dog's environment to reduce stress and eliminate issues that can create problems.
