Why Do You Need A Puppy Socialising E-Book?

You need a Puppy Socialising ebook, because you do not know the insider information behind the (relatively recent) puppy socialising craze!

You do not know the long term results of taking your puppy to puppy socialisng!

You do not know the affect that mixing with other dogs who are much bigger than yours, who are bullies, and who are full of adrenalin, is going to have on your dog' delicate and highly impressionable (and precious) mind - and therefore on his behaviour, when you bring him home!

You do not know the agenda of the so-called puppy-socialiser, who sounds so innocuous, and indeed even beneficial, and who is even professional, on the surface.

The Institute of Canine Mental Health for domestic dogs has done the research for you! You, therefore, do not need to become another victim.

Our dogs are dying to be understood.

Once the damage is done, getting rid of behavior problems artificially is absolutely impossible using gimmicks and clinical methods that treat symptoms. Such techniques are expensive and take much time, and cause dogs to lose their trust in us, and frequently their lives. Electric collars for barking, water pistols for jumping up, throwing tin cans with stones in for digging, muzzling for biting, harnesses for pulling, drugs for hyperactiveness, clickers for not coming on command, removing the tail that he chases, cutting vocal cords that he uses to try and express needs to us, giving biltong for making him sit, closing off and paving small areas of the garden - and crates to finally lock dogs up in when you are not there to click, squirt, bribe, command, give a shock or drug and the neighbours are threatening law suits. 

And the dog professionals guarantee none of these methods! In fact, they give themselves a back door by saying that if none of they don't work – euthanase (i.e. just kill) your dog (i.e. your beloved pet).  That may be a great strategy for the industry - but not for you. And certainly not for your dog. The trauma, anxiety and suffering, (as well as the ever escalating expense), has all been for nothing...

But - there is a better way.

When your dog understands you, and you understand how he thinks, and what he is telling you with his body language, "behavior problems", etc., you can prevent every type of behavior problem without so much as raising either your hand or your voice! Without even any effort! Does this sound too fantastic? Just too good to be true? Dog Language is Nature's gift to us and our four legged children. Which (up until now) you know nothing about.

Puppy Socialising

Puppy socialising comes from the mainstream dog system, who do not see dog owning as a relationship. In other words, instead of adopting the agenda of the dog owner who consults them, they have their own.

And what is the agenda of the average family who own a pet? Most pet owners want a dog that fits in with them, that enriches their life and brings them pleasure, that does not cost them a lot on food and vet bills, that comes when he is called, that they can show affection to, and who loves, trusts and obeys them. That doesn't chew their things, pull on the lead, chase children when they play, run out of the gate when it is opened...

And the agenda of the puppy socialisers? That your dog eats their expensive dog food, that he goes on their sadistic feeding regimes, that he submits to you (cowers in your presence), that you give him a human waist line, that you buy their toys, water pistols, shock collars, Prozac, dog crates, . In short, that you are now in their system - which has no quality control!

In other words, no-one has checked up on how the things that they teach actually affect the dogs' behaviour once when they get back home. Their qualifications are text-book knowledge. They simply repeat the opinions and agendas of the corporations who pay them, and who do not conduct follow-ups. Don't like it? That is not going to change it. But recognizing it will change a lot for you! Pam has conducted extensive behind-the-scenes-research into this essential area. Puppy school establishes a solid foundation to a dog's future life with his family.

And what are the long-term results of what they teach? Pam's dog owners keep her informed. "My dog didn't start digging until we took him to puppy socialising." "My dog has become very hyperactive since we took him to puppy socialising." Even - "Now my puppy is getting very aggressive since puppy socialising" are complaints that we hear at our behaviour centre on a daily basis.

Because Pam has been studying the behaviour of the domestic dog within his own home since the 60's - she is in a very strong position to monitor how these new fads, fashions and gimmicks are actually affecting our pet's mind, and therefore, his behaviour . All that dog owners are exposed to is propaganda, as the dog system takes away their choices, plays on their guilt and intimidates them into bringing up their dog - their way .

And why are dogs learning bad habits at puppy socialising? Mainly because this system focuses on the physical dog only, and not on his feelings, his relationship with his family, whether he is an asset, whether he fits in with them, whether he gets along with the cat and with children, with the other dog and with Grandma... In it's totally non-holistic approach, the mainstream dog system overlooks all these essential issues. But that is not all. Through exposing our pups to adrenalin-drunk puppies at puppy school, we bring them home worse than they were before we took them. This is because adrenalin spreads like wild fire, and adrenalin is the main cause of behaviour problems in domestic dogs . You don't see it. You don't recognise the affect that it is having on your dog because you are not informed. But it causes misperceptions, as well as euphoria. Misperceptions cause the dog to bark for "nothing", to over-react, to become disobedient and hyperactive. And the euphoria is addictive - causing the pup to seek one fix after another when he comes home, making him more and more "disobedient" in the process.

Pam's writings explain all of this very clearly, and the case reports demonstrate it, expanding on this essential subject - liberating dog owners from so much avoidable stress and expense. (To say nothing of the dog.)

In the days where there were no "mother's meetings for new puppy owners", dogs did not have all the behaviour problems that we are seeing now. Ask Grandma.

Here is a case report of Pam's, which clearly illustrates what happens when people try to bring up their dogs "the right way". This man went the conventional New Age route of: expensive dog food, puppy socialising, obedience and alpha training, agility training, then resorting to behaviour therapy and then Prozac, turned to Pam for help, as his dog's behaviour continuted to spiral out of control. This is typical of what she has to deal with every day.

Case Number: 38, 2437. Black German Shepherd 16 months old, Sheba .

"My client, Richard, was a brain surgeon. So he had all A's in his matric, went on to get his PhD, then to specialise. He is responsible for people's lives every hour of every day in the hospital where he works. In other words, he is an very clever person with an extremely high IQ.

But, it seems, he was no match for his dog - a German Shepherd. A New Age German Shepherd. (I.e. bred for super-intelligence, as all "reputable" German Shepherds now are. But not only was she a canine genius, when I met her, she had also become very highly qualified. We don't want laid-back dogs, do we?? Being a very "responsible" dog owner, Richard had her on expensive, super-performance, ultra dog food, and took her to puppy socialising, where she picked up adrenalin from other adrenalin-intoxicated pups, and Richard was advised to give his "daughter" (he had no children, so we was an eager consumer) given toys that taught her how to become a consummate hunter.

Because she was so clever, and obviously so eager to work, he took her to a higher levels of canine education - agility and obedience training. Of course, she excelled at both. She was also highly obedient - until, that is, she started rebelling. Having not only brains, but also guts, she became fed-up with constantly being bullied and dominated. So, turning her agility skills to good use, she started digging in the garden, (what else was she going to do with all these qualifications?) while the Doberman and his owner who lived in the nearby flats watched with interest and fascination. The neighbour gave Richard daily reports on his dog's activities. "Please don't get rid of your dog", they said to him. And on her walks, with her adrenalin levels sky high, this super-athletic, over-qualified, canine over-achiever would pull his owner right off his feet.

Further, with all the extra skill and muscle-power that the champion dog food, "lots of exercise to keep her fit", and agility work gave her, she found breaking into the house from time to time, and chewing up the furniture while her owners were at work a doddle. This evidence of her practicing her muscle-flexing activities for her next agility class was sadly displayed in the home of a very house-proud owner. I suspected the dogs had become an issue in the home, because she was neither present, nor mentioned during the consultation.

So off this loving, caring, conscienscious, desperate (obedient) dog owner went to behaviour therapists (not just one), where he was sold an electric collar for the digging, and complex body-rigging equipment for the pulling. (See the pattern? Is the tail not  wagging the dog?)  For the collar to "work", my client had to have his whole garden wired up, so that his dog would get a shock if she dug, and as the theory of "negative reinforcement" (which was developed through studying laboratory rats), goes - "would cause the dog to associate an unpleasant experience with digging, and therefore never want to dig again". But under-estimated, highly qualified, super-intelligent, gutsy, athletic over-achieving dogs are not rats. (Who don't dig anyway.) So, with a riveted audience of both the Doberman and the neighbours in the flats, Richard's little girl would spend her whole day with this new challenge. Checking the garden carefully in order to find spots where her less intelligent, less highly-qualified, less-super-fit dog owner had omitted to wire it. And there, in this tiny little area, "she'd dig a crater this deep, he told me, sitting on the edge of his chair in his angst, his hands half a metre or more apart to demonstrate his dog's digging skills.   So she was put on Prozac.

This specialist brain surgeon also told me that his (ultra) dog was now starting to go for children in the park. What else was she going to do with the hunting skills that she had developed? Graduate to the real thing. Naturally.

As a result of developing our dogs' physical prowess, instead of their full character potential - and getting to know "the person(ality) inside the dog", and who they are, and learning to connect and communicate with them in a meaningful way, dog owners are being taught to turn their dogs into a super-specimens, and in the process, driving the away.

And on the other hand, we see:

April 2008

Dear Pam,

About a month ago I bought your dog training home kit in anticipation of the arrival of a 2 month old puppy in our home. I must confess that I was skeptical at first, but a friend of mine strongly recommended your book 'Living with an Alien'. So I sent off for your kit and received it a day or two later.

I had read all about the legendary stubborness of the Chesapeakes and their destructive ability in the home. So I was a bit worried. Most of the 'experts' recommended that at least 1 year of obedience training (including puppy socialization classes) would be necessary to turn it into a good canine citizen.

Nevertheless, from day 1 I applied your program and was simply amazed at the results. Three weeks later I have a calm, placid, happy pup that demonstrates a remarkable degree of maturity for his tender age. He has not destroyed anything nor has he demonstrated any degree of stubborness. Just an eagerness to please. He is extremely polite. On approaching a doorway he stands aside and allows me to enter first. I did not teach him this. It just came naturally. He is quite 'mouthy' but does not bite our hands. My 4 year old daughter has also learnt how to control him when she wants him to leave her alone. Your method really works! I have jettisoned all ideas of obedience training and puppy socialization. They are not necessary. It is as if someone switched a light on, dispelling all the confusion and misinformation about dogs and dog training.

I suspect that the Chesapeake's cycle of stubborness and destructiveness works like this: new owner hears from 'experts' that obedience training is mandatory. Obedience training leads to stubborness and destructiveness, which leads to more obedience training, which leads to etc, etc. Thanks again, Eric.

 

The modern puppy socialising fad lets dogs bully each other. They are dominated, and many are even subjected to abusive "alpha rolling" by the trainers. This traumatizes sheltered and impressionable young pups, removing their confidence, and damaging their temperaments. Natural Dog Training is being called on in ever increasing numbers world wide to heal these damaged and confused and pups.

How often do my clients tell me after they have had to get me around for their dog's aggression, destructive behaviour, fighting, barking for nothing, often with cancerous growths on their body....: "My last dog lived to 19, protected us, never got cancer, was fed home cooking, was very well behaved, gave us no problems, never went to puppy socialising or to dog training and ate table scraps." This time, I want to get it right"! I tell them: "You got it right last time!!" "Oh yes, so we did", they say. They have been exposed to propaganda that has converted them into consumers by playing on their guilt, and on their trust in dog system, and by exploiting their ignorance about what makes dogs tick.

So, if taking my puppy to puppy socialising is going to do him more harm than good - how can I socialise him??
