Urinating, and soiling indoors, on pathways and on patios.
Adult domestic dogs that are housetrained use their excreta as a way of attempting to draw attention to something that is confusing or stressing them.
It is built into every dog's genes to mess away from where he lives and sleeps, and away from his food and water. So when a dog is messing indoors, he is like a bedwetting child - he is saying "help, I'm confused!"
Through curing behaviour problems in many thousands of homes over many years, a clear pattern has emerged. Once the confusion is removed, and the root of the dog's problem addressed, the indoor soiling automatically goes.
Pam no longer teaches theories,
repeats myths, or passes on the opinions of others. She teaches what works. Commands do not work. Dogs do not like being commanded.
Commands are as entrenched in the fabric of our society as behaviour problems are.
But once the dog's perspective is considered, the “need” for commands drops away, and commands are replaced with far simpler techniques that work
instantly! Then, behaviour problems - like urinating in the house - automatically stop.
So why is everyone teaching us wrong? Firstly, commands give the appearance of “results”, through instilling fear in the dog, which gives an
illusion of obedience. Second, everyone is repeating what everyone else is saying without actually checking to see if what they are teaching is
actually working in the long term!! This is because conducting long-term quality control in thousands of dogs' homes - rather than in laboratories - is long, and very difficult process. But Pam has done it for you.
Commands are actually verbal abuse. They both demean, and underestimate our dog. If you told a person to sit, then stood over them, they
would feel threatened. Then if you gave them a piece of biltong or a sweetie for sitting, they would think you a bit of a twit. So we get into
these mutually-exploiting relationships with our dogs, where we demean them, and they exploit us. We think we made them do something. They think
(know) they made us do something. This is not a healthy relationship at all! But remember, a lot of people who teach us how to handle our dogs are
working with dogs because they do not have healthy social skills. So if they are in unhealthy relationships, they will think that dominating,
exploiting, bullying and bribing is O.K. Worse – is right.
So when you tell your dog to go outside, you are verbally abuse him! (Try that on a person and see if they like you!!) So your dog comes back, in and
says his own twopence worth! He has opinions, and if he doesn't express them, he's brain dead. He is a highly intelligent, social creature, built for
relationships of mutual trust, respect, loyalty and affection. And verbal abuse both confuses and demeans, as well as being inappropriate to a dog's pack mentality. In other words,
he hasn't a clue what we are on about! If our dog “obeys” - it is because he is afraid of being punished, and it neither kind nor common sense to lose our temper because someone doesn't understand us.
In the wild, the leader dog, or alpha, leads by example – he does not command his pack. Pam teaches you how to get your message across to your dog and
to set him parameters for him so that he automatically knows the difference between
what is allowed, and what is not allowed. All dogs are designed to live by a moral code, which explains why these techniques never fail.
Anger outbursts, being firm, commanding and dominating dogs all cause our dogs to lose their trust in us, or to retaliate (after all, he has feelings too) or to cry for help in the only way that he knows. In the Language of the Pack.
The solution? Both Living with an Alien and the Natural Dog Training Home-Kit will cure this
behaviour problem in an amazingly short time. Kindly and easily - simply by making our dog no longer wish to soil indoors.
Nature's way is always simple. You won't get these facts anywhere else.

Just thought I would give you a five month report back on my dogs - the three who who piddled inside ?? We have only had three puddles since I started your programme in February ! I am so thrilled with the results - you cannot believe how good it is to not have to lift my rugs every evening . They are all in all are much calmer, happier dogs. Please feel free to use me as a reference for anyone who doubts the possiblity of stopping bad behaviour with your original and natural techniques !!! The best investment I have ever made. Thank you ! Catriona.
