The Missing Link Dog Training Statement

 

At The Missing Link Dog Training, my approach revolves around treating all conscious species, including dogs, with utmost respect. By understanding their needs through their body language and auditory signals, we can establish a deep connection with them.

I believe that the best teaching methods are rooted in compassion, understanding, and patience. Any mindset or tool that deviates from these values is simply barbaric. These methods have been extensively researched and proven to have negative consequences not only in dogs but across various mammalian species, including humans. This research is replicable, meaning it has a VERY high likelihood of accuracy. Once you know better, you should strive to do better.

Ensuring our dogs' innate needs are met is of great importance. Like humans, dogs have "species-typical" behaviors that are crucial to their well-being. By identifying and allowing them to express these innate needs in a safe and controlled environment, we create a content and well-stimulated pup. Our focus extends beyond their physical needs to encompass their emotional and mental well-being as well.

A core principle of working with our dogs is agency—a sense of control and influence on their environment. This has been proven to enhance the quality of life for both dogs and humans alike.
