Pam Whyte - What People are Saying about her Ground Breaking Dog Training
Methods.

by Colin Melville and Horst von Steinmetz.

(Original emails, letters, and articles are all available at Pam Whyte's Natural
Dog Training offices for viewing on request.)

1) Dog Professionals.

"...you need to know about the very best resource for dog training in the world!
Dr. Jean has known trainer Pam Whyte for many years, and has used her sensible,
dog-friendly methods with great (and fast!) success on many dogs of her
acquaintance". Vet USA

 

 "Never mind the Dog Whisperer, Pam Whyte is the real deal–her methods are safe
and effective!” Vet USA

  

“I have your book Living with an Alien and am finding it very informative and
amusing. I have worked with animals at the RSPCA as an inspector as well as
running boarding kennels and breeding and showing dogs.” UK (Letter to Pam
Whyte.)

 

 "Pam Whyte is providing a very valuable service to the community." Professor of
Animal Behaviour, RSA.

  

“If I could get across to dog owners in the same way as your book came across to
me, I should have some success.”  Dog Trainer, Canada.

  

"None of us at our practice have been bitten by a dog since we have been dealing
with Pam (Whyte)." Vet RSA

   

“I have been involved in dog training for the past 20 odd years. I saw your book
in the Library in London and was most impressed with it.” UK. (Letter to Pam
Whyte.)

  

 

“A few years ago you wrote some articles in the newspaper which I found
extremely helpful. I tried some of your techniques on how to handle dogs and
found it worked 100%. As a result of this, I bought your book Living with an
Alien, and find it excellent. I can recommend your book to any animal lover and
would like to thank you for your help. I trust there will be more books written
by you in future.” Secretary of the Bull Terrier Club. (Letter to Pam Whyte.)

  

“We would like to learn more about how you communicate with dogs. We find your
ideas on communicating with “aliens” very refreshing.” SPCA. (Letter to Pam.)

  

"My goodness I never would have thought such a simple thing would make such a
difference..and I also would never have thought of doing it... " Dog trainer,
Gauteng. (Letter to Pam Whyte.)

  

"I have what dog owners think they want. Pam Whyte has what they want." Dog
Trainer, Israel.

 

 "A dog owner came with her dog in a wheel chair. I pointed out that because we
couldn't drill her, we would have to use Pam Whyte's natural methods with her
and her dog. [A black German Shepherd.) At the end of the session she had more
control over her dog than the people who had been coming for the past 4 months -
who were not disabled." Dog Trainer from Pretoria. (Unfortunately this dog
trainer was asked to leave the dog training school, because he "was getting his
results too quickly.")

                                                            Since 1967 - Leader
of the Pack!

"Pam Whyte's book, filled with some delightful cartoons by Walter Pichler, is
well-researched and informative and is the ideal guide for anyone who cares
about his best friend." Sunday Times.

"Pam Whyte's book, Living with an Alien makes for most interesting reading,
providing answers to many questions that plague dog owners." Animal Talk.

"Pam Whyte takes us very humorously (but also very practically), through a
multitude of topics. This enchanting and funny book with delightful cartoons by
Walter Pichler is, however about more than behaviour therapy - it is also about
animal perception and dog language." SA Country Life.

"Pam Whyte, a world renowned authority on dog behaviour and psychology has
unlocked the door to achieving a more co-operative and manageable dog. She has
moved away from traditional methods of dog training and has developed her own
very effective and successful program. The most unruly and aggressive of dogs
respond to this innovative approach. Pam Whyte has addressed universities,
training institutions, human/animal interest groups and others on dog psychology
and animal perception." Country Life, Australia.




"All dogs should be grateful to Pam Whyte." Cape Times.


"I have known and lived with dogs all my life, but I found this book by Pam
Whyte an eye opener." The Star.

"The book has its hilarious moments. The contents are amazing. Pam Whyte has
some excellent and very serious thoughts about living with dogs - sort of "duty
without cruelty". It's a super book for anyone with a dog, for, no matter how
you think you get along with Fido, there's plenty more to learn to make your
life (and your dog's) even better." Natal Mercury.

"Proof of the success of Pam Whyte's dog psychology lies in the two books and
two Home Movies on dog behaviour that she has released. Her latest book, Living
with an Alien is selling gast as local bookshops on an Australian TV channel has
invited her to participate in a show. Dog Behaviourists in the UK are also
knocking at Pam Whyte's door for her expert advice." Southern Courier.

"Covering a variety of aspects, including commands, food, separation anxiety and
others (there is even a chapter for those who don't like dogs), Pam Whyte's
formidable knowledge of her subject is evident." The Citizen.


"Pam Whyte's latest book, Living with an Alien, is essential reading for every
intelligent canine. It's 350 pages packed with good advice largely based on the
questions dog owners ask about dog behaviour. And it's delightfully illustrated
by cartoonist Walter Pichler. Sunday Times.

"Successful close encounters of the canine kind. Living with an Alien by Pam
Whyte should be required reading for every city dweller thinking of acquiring a
dog. Pam Whyte has also produced several videos on dog behaviour, one of which
is used by guide-dog trainers in France ." Cape Times.

"Pam Whyte has spent over 3 decades working with dogs, and encapsulated much of
her wisdom in the 340-page volume. In fact this book is the best excuse I've
ever had for not getting up early on a Sunday morning and standing in a field
with other dog owners..you will be entertained by her wealth of anecdotes and
case histories." John Scott, Cape Times.

"Pam Whyte's latest work will leave you with a distinct feeling that the mutt
lying at your feet, on the sofa, or bed, knows more than you could ever
imagine." District Mail.

"Pam Whyte's 's book Living with an Alien is an amusing but perceptive book on
animal perception and dog language." Farmers Weekly.

"Pam Whyte sets out to help humans tap into and develop the instincts that a dog
brings when it comes to live in our society, instead of trying to force them
into un-doglike behaviour by imposing our will onto them, which usually confuses
or even breaks a dog." Cape Times.

"Pam Whyte shows dog owners how to overcome behaviour problems by outlining
practical guidelines to overcome them. She does this chiefly by showing the
family how to help their dog adapt to his life-style and how to communicate in
his own pack-tongue. This may sound deranged to the ignorant ear, but once
explained, sounds a more positive bet than communicating through a host of
often-aggressive commands. Pam encourages one to shift one's perspective and to
get a "dog's eye view", advice that will enhance the pleasure of dog owning."
The Citizen.

"Too much stress is placed on what dogs look like and making them do as they are
told, instead of helping adjust to the culture shock of domestication." Cape
Times.


"Ideal Guide has humorous tone. Through more appropriate communication
techniques, the confusion, which often prompts naughty behaviour, will be
eradicated. The book is peppered with assertions about doggy behaviour which may
not be the solutions you are expecting to find, but take heart - these culture
shocks may produce startling results." The Citizen.


"Send right signals to mutt from mars .You need top apply the very simple
principles of pack communication as laid out in Pam Whyte's book on Dog Language
- Living with an Alien, so that what you say to your dog becomes congruent with
what he hears. Once you understand your dog, your enjoyment of him will
increase, and your relationship with him will be enriched." The Star.

"Dog training presupposes that dogs think like humans. Think again! But if
you're prepared to let the dog dominate, then you might as well switch on the
electric blanket, open the fridge, hand over the can opener and the car keys and
move out to the dog kennel." Star.

learnt from your book was starting to work, and I was starting to get a measure

and after reading your book, told them to stand quietly with their hands over

behaviour) However, I trust both of them implicitly with my children as I have

during dinner last night." RSA.(Email to Dog Training Nature's Way.)

Before:

"Hey Pam,

I was frustrated and dispaired. When I go out for a walk she is pulling on the
leash is very hectically and barking on other dogs and sometimes
children/People. In such a moment I am just helpless, she ignores me whatever I
am doing. I really love these dog but I realize that I am getting more and more
frustrated.

After:

I wanted to give you a report now after doing Natural Dog Training. Today my dog
behaves very good! She didnŽt nip at our friends coming to our house, she didnŽt
even bark at them!

She is more relaxed. Seems she is enjoying to not be the pack leader anymore.
She also reduced/stopped barking at people passing our gate.

So, I think these are the first results.

Thank you!" France. (Email to Pam Whyte.)

 

"Hello Pam,

I am delighted that my pup no longer pees in the house. Gradually, the smell of
his puddles is dissipating. Thank you so much for your constant advice and
support for my wife and myself. I have a calm, yet self-confident dog which is
rapidly approaching adulthood.  I would never have been able to do this without
you. You have given me the knowledge and tools to deal not only with my dog, but
with any other dogs which might come into my life in the future. I wish you well
- your approach is sorely needed in this world." RSA.

 

"Dear Pam

Thank you for your time yesterday, I am still amazed at all the new things I’ve
learned you and Joshua [Pam’s working dog] are AMAZING." RSA

"When I got home they did not jump around as they normally do." RSA

"Dear Pam,

My wife and I found it extremely interesting  spending time with you on Sunday.
Cleo is barking less, and not nipping visitors as they go out the gate any
more." UK

 

"Choco is enjoying her walks thoroughly and Gumbi our Boerboel cross is
amazingly calm about watching her set out – I hope he is getting the idea! 
Visitors have remarked on how much calmer they are, even though we are not 100%
there yet.  There is progress with bangs however – 2 loud ones caused no
reaction from either dog 2 nights ago!  And as Hugo said: they no longer rule
this house!Peace." RSA. (Email to Obedience Training Nature's Way.)

"It was lovely watching you work with our dogs. There has been a really, really
big improvement. There have been no more fights since you came!. RSA. (Email to
Pam Whyte.)

 

"Thank you for all the help and assistance that you provided yesterday. Titan
seems so much calmer this morning. It was nice to go out side and not be jumped
on in my work clothes." RSA. (Email to Obedience Training Nature's Way.)

 

"Weekly report:

Hi Pam, Thought I would mail you a progress report with out dogs. Our guests
came over for our house warming, about 20 of them, and everything was perfect,
they didn't jump on our guests, they didn't lick or rub themselves against the
guests.

They have calmed down with fighting over the food when my wife feeds them, and
initially they would fight over the hooves, but that has all calmed down now."

Pam Whyte's  Natural  Dog Training and Independent Research into the Behaviour
of the Wild and the Domestic Dog.

> > > > >        Since 1967 - Leader of the Pack

By Paul Anderson

and Horst von Steinmetz

www.Naturaldogtraining.info

Pam Whyte's breakthrough research into the behaviour of wild dog and the
domestic doghas been recognised by such institutions as: RSPCA UK; SPCA RSA'
Animal Protection Institute USA; Veterinary Universities; Anglia Survival UK;
The Plastic Surgeon's Association RSA; Child Accident Prevention Society UK;
Conservationists in Africa; University de Nancy France; Paneikon Italy; Wild dog
Productions; Guide Dogs Ass. France; Holistic Veterinarians USA and Medical
Research scientists in New Zealand.

Pam Whyte's work on dog communication has been published widely. Dogs are her
mentor, and she shares the secrets that they have let her into willingly with
dog owners around the world. She has frequently been on  radio and television;
she has had her own chat shows and columns, and been published in numerous
publications locally and overseas. The London Times said that Pam's work
"provides a much needed new approach to dog owning." Her alternative natural dog
training methods have successfully cured vicious Pit Bulls of aggression. Pam
Whyte has saved countless dogs from losing their homes and from being euthanased
by veternarians and animal welfare organisations. She has also saved many
innocent people - particularly children - from dog attacks, which according to
statistics are increasing.

Pam Whyte's work on dog behaviour involves studying and teaching pack behaviour
in the wolf, the wild dog and in the domestic dog; consulting with behaviour
therapists, veterinarians, dog trainers and conservationists; giving workshops
at dog training schools where conventional methods are not working; vital
breakthrough research into such subjects as non verbal communication within a
close knit communal system; feeding dogs for temperament; writing books on the
Language of the Pack; achieving a deep understanding of the dog's innate
instincts and the Rhythm of the Wild; guest lecturing at Universities and
Institutions on dog behaviour and dog communication; assisting families globally
to understand and therefore to control their dogs easily and naturally, as well
as to keep children safe from the trauma of dog bites.

Because Pam Whyte is able to achieve results that the mainstream dog system
cannot even dream of, her work unfortunately inspires a lot of jealousy. Pam
therefore, like all successful innovators has been subjected to a lot of
jealousy, hostility and smear campaigns.

Unlike the mainstream behaviour therapists who gained their qualifications
through studying dog (and rat) behaviour in laboratories, Pam Whyte's research
has been conducted on the (spontaneous) behaviour of the wild and the domestic
dog, within the environment in which they live.  

Professor Reinhold Bergler states in his book: Man and Dog, the Psychology of a
Relationship:

> “Since the dawn of mankind, animals have always played an important part in
> the complex scheme of human relationships...A psychology that only studies
> behaviour under laboratory conditions, and then generalizes on the basis of
> these findings, can not lay claim to scientific credibility or indeed to any
> practical social relevance….”

Pam Whyte's background in the social sciences therefore enables her to give the
service to the families that they are seeking. I.e. - to teach them how to live
in harmony with their pets by learning how to control them kindly and easily.
Her methods therefore appeal to the intelligent and open minded dog owner who is
seeking to get to know their pet through entering into a closer relationship and
forming a deeper bond with them. The more intelligent dog owner is finding
thatlimiting dog behaviour to merely superficial Pavlovian react/counter-react
responsesdegrades them owner into throwing things at their dogs or squirting
them with water bottles, or into bribing them with so-called treats. This so
called "negative and positive reinforcement" which was developed through working
with rats in laboratories, and is then used on domestic pets - without ever
actually been subjected to any quality control tests outside the laboratory in
real life situations within the dogs' own homes. Where the success rate is
proving to be abysmally low.

Pam Whyte's Natural Dog Training is therefore unique. Mainstream obedience dog
training imitates the drilling, force and giving orders which use fear to coerce
dogs into submisssion - comes from the army It has credibility - not through
results, but through propagnda. When it doesn't work, instead of taking
responsibility for the lack of results, dog trainers simply blame the dog owner
and "expels" them. [See: http://www.naturaldogtraining.info/freetips1.html ]

The secrets that Pam has learnt from the dogs are startling – but they produce
the results that families are looking for, curing dog fights, excessive barking,
chewing of possessions, chasing cats, digging the garden… in a far shorter space
of time than giving commands, punishing, throwing things, bribing, distracting,
dominating, clicking, clapping, squirting or shocking (the list gets longer) can
ever hope to achieve.

Pam Whyte's natural studies are obviously going to differ vastly from those
developed in artificial and contrived laboratories situations. But, learning how
dogs are genetically programmed to behave has enabled her to achieve a vastly
higher success rate than either Pavlovian or military methods can ever hope to
achieve. .

Conservationists have also taught Pam Whyte that, contrary to popular teaching
the leader dog does not dominate his pack! This is a widely held myth and is
causing dogs to retaliate and to rebel, breaking down trust between dogs and
their families and contributing to the escalating incidence behaviour problems
in domestic dogs. Because unity in the wild is strength, the leader is the
Captain of his team, and not a tyrant - so when he eats, they eat, and when he
survives, they survive, etc. The desire to cooperate with his or her leader is
built into every dog's DNA - but they have to recognise (and trust) their leader
through identifying with the leader's leadership skills. Which are not included
in the conventional dog training and behaviour therapy programmes. Pam Whyte
teaches dog owners around the world how to work with and not against their dogs
in order to achieve an astonishingly high success rate in a remarkably short
time with very little effert. This she does through her workshops, home natural
dog training, natural dog training books and home training DVD's. (Note that
working together cooperatively does not mean "positive reinforcement".
Cooperating with a leader involves both subtle and powerful techniques - and
bribery is neither.)

Because Pam Whyte has studied in the human social sciences, she is well equipped
to understand and to keep up with the changing needs of to-day's busy families.
Unlike mainstream dog training, Pam Whyte not only includes the whole family in
her dog training, but unlike the mainstream conventional dog training and
behavioural modification - she also adopts the goals and priorities of the
family, giving them a service that is tailor made for their own individual needs
and circumstances. Shedoes not believe in the conventional "one size fits all"
dog training, but rather adapts her programmes to suit each family that she
helps. Dogs that live on farms, for instance, will not need the same training as
dogs that live in flats; and families with children to cart and carry and
supervise home work and birthday parties will also need a very different
programme from those who have no children and all day to devote to their dogs.
Each family needs a dog training programme that is unique to them, and that
works for them.

Domestic staff and extended family are also all included in Pam Whyte's Natural
Dog Training programmes.

In order to protect her privacy, and that of her family, Pam Whyte now very
seldom agrees to media interviews. She reaches dog owners globally through her
website - www.NaturalDogTraining.info

Natural Dog Training.

www.Naturaldogtraining.info

By Pam Whyte.

In the beginning, there were dogs. There were, in fact, dogs and man. But they
did not cohabit. Because this is not what they were made for. In the beginning,
dogs were made to live with dogs, and man was made to live with man. But some
bright spark of a caveman got the idea of inviting a dog into his cave - and
initiated the communication crevasse of all time.

In other words, says Pam Whyte - man thought these dogs were his fellowman, and
dogs thought man were his fellowdog. And so down through the centuries, we have
crossed our wires, garbled our signals, and confused one another completely,
while trying to make some kind of sense out of what the other is saying. We
share our homes, our secrets, our leftovers, and even our beds with our natural
predators (because that’s what dogs actually are) – we share everything in fact
… except our language!

This, says Pam Whyte causes many misunderstandings, which we label: Behaviour
Problems. For example, if we push ourdog away from us, he perceives another dog
asking him to play. So he gets worse. If we tell a dog to stop barking, he
thinks we are barking too. So he barks more. If we go to stop a dog doing
something, he thinks we are coming to help him. Because that’s how a pack
functions - dogs come from the rear to “pack” with the front dogs. And if our
dog is pulling us on a lead, he thinks we are chasing him. What a culture clash!
So what does man do about these “behaviour problems” - otherwise known as “
downright disobedience”, “no ears” and “hasn’t been to training yet”?

Obedience Training:

This, points out both Pam Whyte and the conservationists, involves teaching dogs
our language. Sit, down, stay, leave, stoppitt! GIMMETHAT! etc. It presumes that
our dog understands our commands, and if he doesn’t, he’s bad and must therefore
be punished for “disobeying us ”, by having his choker chain jerked, and being
commanded more aggressively. (“Being firm” is simply “lose your temper”.) Dog
owners are frequently being told to “control their dogs” – which if they could
do – they would not be there.

The reason why so many dogs go for one another at training (and cats, children
and the next door dog when they get home from training), is because dogs only
have close body contact during a hunt, but they socialize individually. So by
holding our dog close at our side during dog training … we are actually “
telling” him that we are hunting! So he looks around for his prey, and when he
doesn’t see any, he then starts to think that dogs must be prey, and starts to
“go for” (or “hates”) other dogs. Both vets and Pam Whyte have noted that It is
very common for dogs that have been to training to start attacking the other
pets at home. And because dogs do not command each other, they think that when
we command them, that we are barking. A bark is a sharp, loud outburst, and a
command is a sharp, loud outburst that actually sends a barking signal to a dog
(that is not a person). In a hunt, the dog from behind barks at the dog in front
to incite him to kill the prey, so when we stand behind our dog’s head at
training (making him the leader because he is in front), he is hearing the
complete opposite to what we are saying. And when he gets home - there is still
a hunt to complete! This explains why points out Pam Whyte, a study that was
reported in the British Medical Journal, vol 303 reveals that 27% of dogs that
attacked children were obedience trained. (Less than .001% of domestic dogs are
taken to dog training.)

And of course, conservationsists point out to Pam Whyte, by keeping our dog’s
head just ahead of our knee (to make the trainer’s lines look nice and neat)….
The dog is the leader! So when he gets home, he keeps up this status by pushing
in front of his family at doorways. And he keeps us “barking” by “being naughty”
to provoke commands out of us. The leader barks first, and the subordinate dog
barks second… so once again, he is given leadership status.

But what about the dog who obeys commands? What independent studies have
revealed is that the dog is actually setting his owner up to command him (being
proactive), and he would not be doing 90% of the things that provoke commands if
he had not learnt how to train his owner to command him – by doing things his
owner doesn’t want him to do!

This all leads to a very high failure rate at dog training, with many people
either dropping out, being expelled, or having to lock their dogs away at home.
Or, animal welfare societies point out to Pam Whyte - having to get rid of their
dogs.

The Wolf-Pack Blue Print.

Pam Whyte's Natural Dog Training applies the exciting concept of dog language!
In order to cross this communication crevasse – mankind takes the Giant Leap!
Actually, it is a tiny leap, because it is so easy. It is achieved by learning
the “language of the pack” which is the blueprint for communicating that is
already stamped into the dog’s genes. Dog language has been around since before
Romulus and Remus – and has had a consistently high success rate since it’s
inception. Instead of trying to force a dog to do as he’s told - it harnesses
his desire to please.

And because, point out behaviour therapists who work under Pam Whyte, many
behaviour disorders are stress-related, we also assist dogs in coping with their
lifestyle – rather than make them perform. A chilled out dog is much easier to
live with than a dog that is jumping walls, barking for “nothing” being
destructive, because they are continuing to perform when they get home after
training. A calm dog is not only a far better watch dog, he is also a pleasure
to live with. And costs us less on vet bills.

The focus of Pam Whyte's Natural Dog Training is on the dog’s relationship with
his family, how well he behaves at home, children being able to play outside
without the dog knocking them over, being able to leave their toys around
without dogs chewing them, swimming in the pool without the dog barking, or the
dog knowing the difference between visitors and burglars, the garden being left
alone, opening the gate without the dog running out…. Not on how sharply the dog
owners turn their corners and whether their lines are neat and straight. In
place of constant struggles, we offer harmonious coexistence.

By crossing the communication gap ourselves, which is what Pam Whyte teaches dog
owners and families around the world, the dog does not have to learn anything.
He understands us instinctively. When we apply the Wolf-Pack Blue Print, the
techniques can be seen to be working right away, as the dogs’ behaviour alters
within a few minutes (or seconds). For example, the dogs that have been at each
other’s throats for weeks and even months (or years) at dog training, are seen
to be friendly within a few minutes after their perception of one another has
altered through not “packing” with their owners any longer. (Sorry, old boy, I
thought you were a rabbit - now I see that you’re a dog - like me. Nice to meet
you.)

No amount of commanding in the world, points out Pam Whyte, can make a dog
choose to be good! We have become conditioned from the cradle to believe that
the only way to have control over our dog is to use force and to be firm. (I.e.
hostile.) The concept of having a well adjusted dog that co-operates of his own
free will, without being commanded because he no longer wants to be naughty is
still new to many people. They therefore find it difficult to believe that a dog
can become completely “trained” in only a few hours.

But what so often happens during dog training,conservationists have taught Pam
Whyte, is that the dog gets his owner’s undivided attention while he is being
aggressive, plus the fact that he is being exposed to so many hyperactive,
barking and aggressive dogs, who are also distracting him – and winding him up.
This means that he frequently comes home with these bad habits. So we think that
we “have to” keep going back! And this is why, as a Western Society, we have
come to believe that dog training takes months! But when the dog owner is given
advice that is relevant to his or her own circumstances, and their dog is not
being stimulated by other hyper dogs, and - understands him - weeks and months
of commanding and jerking the dog are no longer necessary! So, by applying Pam
Whyte's Wolf-Pack Blue Print in the dog’s own home where the actual cause of any
problems may be directly addressed – there is nothing amazing about getting
results right away. You will see an immediate change in your dog’s behaviour as
he now understands you – but may take a week or two to actually break bad
habits, like digging in the garden, points out Pam Whyte.

You learn how the pack functions, how the dogs’ exciting and complex mind and
instincts work. Pam Whyte answers all your questions. She has lectured at, and
had her papers published by many academic institutions, dog training schools,
breed clubs and animal welfare organisations both locally and overseas.

You will learn techniques from Pam Whyte that the whole family can apply - even
the children! Conventional dog training expects the person who can shout the
loudest and jerk the hardest to take the dog to training. So Dad had better not
go to work, in case he has to be at home to command the dog! Because Pam Whyte
uses communication in place of force, children master it easily. They then have
this knowledge for always, and will be much safer around big dogs – where they
visit, for example. If dogs jump on visitors, visitors are called over during
the session to check on the results we are getting. Dogs are walked on leads, so
that they don’t pull or bark at other dogs. Kids run around to check that the
dog is no longer chasing them….

The dogs are also socialised with Pam Whyte ’s own socialising team of dogs, who
project calmness onto the dogs, and show them the “ropes”. They are handpicked
by Pam Whyte for this very special purpose. Because dogs learn by example,
hyperactive behaviour spreads like wild fire – and so does chilled behaviour!

You will also be shown a demo DVD produced by Pam Whyte, where you see behind
the scenes. Pam Whyte shows you a vet talking, wild dog behaviour, and people
with their dogs before they understood one another - and then after. Dog owners
find it quite lekker to see other people struggling worse than them! What they
like about it is that they see that they are standard! The current dog system
evades taking responsibility for their low success rate by spreading their
propaganda that says: “It is not the dog’s fault – it is the owners!” Pam
Whyte's home dog training DVD's place the blame squarely where it belongs. It
also puts the power where it belongs – in the hands of the dog owners. Not in
the dogs, and not in the dog system’s.

Pam Whyte trains all dogs are done for the price of one and only charges for the
first three hours. Thereafter her time is free. If the problems recur, or if you
still need further assistance, it is her pleasure to call on you, and assist you
further without any further charge for her time.

You do not have to give up your weekends, and because you are not divorcing your
dog from reality – he adapts to you. You do not need to set aside time “to do
your home work”… these simple techniques just become part of your lifestyle –
rather than a set of rules that have to be adhered to. And actually save you
time. Time that you would otherwise be disciplining your dog, replacing plants,
giving him “quality time”…

And you will never need to train another dog again!  Because now you understand
all dogs – they will therefore understand you. As Pam Whyte says - you don’t
need to learn Chinese every time you meet a new Chinese person! And because your
dog is now well adjusted, and is therefore able to make correct choices – his
natural protective instincts are also developed, so he will be a far better
family protector. (No one needs to learn to protect what is theirs!) 

If you would like to call Pam Whyte in, you will have a most enjoyable and
enlightening session learning why your dog behaves the way he does, and
therefore how to change the behaviour the way you want it.

You will feel both empowered, and liberated! We see very relieved owners, and
very relieved dogs, now that they are in tune with one another … because now
they understand one another – and can achieve a meaningful connection with one
another.

 Our Dog is a Member of our Family - Dog Owning is a Relationship!

by Pam Whyte.

When we own a dog, we are in a relationship. Dogs are designed to be members of
a community that is very closely related to those of wolves and wild dogs. It is
in their DNA to both harmoniously coexistent in a close knit social system, as
well as nd for survival. To put it another way - dogs are designed for both
love, affection, compassion, loyalty, and caring for and supporting each other
under the authority of a leader whom they trust. Within a pack of dogs there
exists a moral code which is strictly adhered to, and political power play takes
place according to complex and rigid rituals - which are reflected in all social
systems, including ourselves. (Which makes it all the more fascinating!)

Pam Whyte points out that in fact, dog packs are structured in many similar ways
to human societies. Indeed, all social systems function according to the same
underlying universal principles, such as: leaders lead by example; unity is
strength; the survival of the community depends on close cooperation amongst all
its members; children are all reared in afamily and the parents are their role
models. Environmentalists have noted that when food is adequate, wild dogs
actually feed their puppies before the adults eat and even care for their weaker
members. A pack of dogs is in fact a cameo of an ideal social system.

When we own a dog we are in a unique relationship because this relationship
exists between two different species (cano-sapiens, and homo-not-so-sapiens) –
who do not even speak one another’s language. Members within a pack of dogs or
wolves communicate with each other through the use of a highly sophisticated
networking system made up mainly of body signals, nuances, power play... And
when we learn to understand these natural and simple signals, (many of which are
part of our own human repertoire of non verbals) we are able to enjoy and
control our dogs to the full.

 However, says Pam Whyte that this does not mean that our dogs do not understand
our words! Through having lived very closely with humans all of their lives, yet
still possessing and finely tuned survival instincts - which include “antennae”
that we (mere) humans do not possess, they are able to learn far more words than
most dog owners (and certainly nearly all dog professionals) give them credit
for. It is when we challenge them, over stimulate them, excite and cross
communicate with them that we confuse them. (Then think they are stupid.) But
when we chat calmly to our dog (as most dog lovers do, but few admit to – I
can't think why), or in front of our dog, that they in fact understand a great
deal of what we are saying to (and about) them.

We make a big mistake when we divorce dogs from reality, thus creating more
problems for both ourselves and our dogs than we are solving. However, when -
instead of attempting to impose human logic onto our dogs, by shifting our
perspective, and viewing the world (and at ourselves) through their eyes – dog
owning immediately becomes a mutually enriching and exciting experience. This is
because dogs within a pack are designed to enrich, enhance and support one
another's lives with loyalty, love, respect, trust and cooperative synergy.

To summarise, a social system is interconnected with the social cement of love
and loyalty; the politics of status and leadership; the networking of non verbal
communication; and the protocol of respect. The potential for all of which are
built into the DNA of a pack of wolves, a pack of wild dogs - and therefore into
the genes of our domestic dog. (And meercats and cheetah - and all highly
developed social systems. This enables them to survive through countless
centuries in an eat or be eaten, kill or be killed environment - where unity and
close cooperation are vital for the survival of a social system.

Pam Whyte teaches in her lectures that within this social system leadership
status is won through complex rituals and power play - which is remarkably
similar to the ego jostling of humans. Influence which has been won through
these subtle primal rituals, as well as through strength of character - are far
more powerful than dominating, commanding and making our best friend afraid of
being punished. Therefore, whenever we attempt to and impose human logic onto
our dogs - we interfere with their natural instincts, confuse them completely
and stifle their true personality -and label the consequences of the culture
clash of domestication “no ears”, disobedience will grow out of it when he is
two, hasn't been to training yet... When they are, in reality, a consequence of
a one sidedrelationship that is not considering the viewpoint of the other. So
what is the solution then?

It is actually very simple: Healthy relationships are all built on meeting each
other half way. There are other aliens besides dogs that we find ourselves
living with. We also coexist with aliens like teenagers, toddlers, the opposite
sex, different cultures, cats, a parrot or two… none of whom are on exactly the
same wave length as us. So, how do we meet our dog half way then?

On our side - we

> -       meet their needs;
> 
> -       allow them to be who they are.
> 
> -       learn their language;

in order to help them adjust to domestication, and to our way of life, as well
as to develop their full personality and character potential, says Pam Whyte

on their side, they:

-       live by our ground rules, ( i.e.         respect our visitors and our
possessions, etc., (etc.) 

-       protect us (by showing loyalty toward us),

then dog owning could not be more rewarding and enriching on both sides! And it
gives us more control over them.  Sounds easy? It is easy! It is the  humans who
complicate things! Nature is always simple.

This is an ideal that is within every dog owner’s ability to achieve! They only
have to know how. The exciting and very empowering connection which this mind
shift that Pam Whyte teaches dog owners gives adds an extra dimension to the
already very special relationship that we have with our four legged family
members. Which is why people have dogs. (And vice versa.) Most of us own dogs to
be our companions – even our children. Yes, even families who have six (or more)
children – to them, their dog is still their child. (So they tell me.) And if
you treat your dog like a child, (because he is genetically programmed to live
in families), he is equipped to simply slot into our (two legged families). All
we have to do is make dogsense (and not nonsense) to them!

So here we have a dog that is designed to live within a family, (great!); to
abide by a strict moral code, (getting better all the time)  under the direction
of a loved and trusted leader; (are we that??)  and to communicate with the
other pack members with their highly developed communication system; (don’t know
how to speak “Dog”) who are made for loyalty, devotion, compassion, caring,
love… ( good I want one of those) and it is our identification with these
parallels of love, loyalty and affection within our own lives and social system
that draws us to one another. (Plus the fact that they look so darn innocent.)

Pam shows us that the secret key to the dog’s mind is... the Law of the Jungle.
So let's go to Mother Nature (who wrote the original instruction book right
there within the dogs' DNA) and you will see it work right in front of your
eyes.

Relationships (in both the green and the concrete jungle) are all built around
love, affection, communication, trust, loyalty and cooperation. (Not dominate
and submit, or bribe and confront, traumatize, startle…)

And once you have taken these  kind, simple and natural (totally non-gimmicky)
steps in our relationship with our dog – our dog will have the security of being
understood and having his needs met, and we will have the enrichment, the
protection and the control over our dog that we are looking for.

Curing Indoor Soiling when Dogs Refuse to be House

Trained.

By Pam Whyte.

Pam can be contacted at Pam@TrustWorthyDogs.com.

Many dogs that refuse to be house-trained are using their excreta in order to
try and draw attention to something that is either confusing them, or is
stressing them. So why would our best friend be confused and stressed when we
love him so much, and take the trouble to discipline him properly?

This is why…. Dogs do not speak English (or any Humanlish for that matter) so it
is actually extremely common for dogs to be confused - when we (mere humans)
think they are being disobedient – and that includes those in the dog behavior
professions - most of whom are also trying to impose human logic onto dogs,
instead of seeing the dog's viewpoint. Which is not the same as ours.

Because we have been living with dogs for so long, we simply take it for granted
that they understand our commands and that they perceive everything the way we
do. They don't. This leads to what is called “behavior problems”,
“disobedience”, “puppy behavior” and an ever-growing list of gimmicks and new
angles on dog training which are a fast growing multimillion dollar industry.
When all we need to do is cross the communication gap ourselves.

Then, we won't have to raise our voices at, dominate or punish our best friend
for not understanding us! Commands are as entrenched in the fabric of our
society as behaviour problems are. The solution is not to be found “in the box”.
(Obviously - or there would not be all these gimmicks and flavors-of-the-month
dog training.) The proven solution is to look out of the box and stop reasoning
like a human!

This is not to say that dogs do not understand words – they do. When we chat.
They even eavesdrop on our conversations. But commands are not chatting. It is
the raised voices, the negativity of being firm, giving orders and dominating
dogs, squirting them with water that confuse them, and cause them to lose their
trust in us, to retaliate (after all, he has feelings too) and/or to cry for
help in the only way that they can.

But… as soon as the dog's perspective is considered, the “need” for commands,
firmness, dominating, gimmicks, etc. fall away, because problems like messing
and urinating in the wrong place – simply stop automatically. Because the
confusion has gone.

Dogs are made for living within a social system in their pack in the wild where
there is a highly developed moral code, so, because unity is strength in the
wild, the desire to cooperate and live in harmony together is already built into
your dog's DNA – all you have to do is learn how to unlock this potential. You
do not have to teach them – it is already there!

Included in the moral code of this social system is urinating and defecating
away from where the pack lives and sleeps; away from their food and water; on an
absorbent surface.

So when a dog is messing all over the place, it is unnatural. Like a bedwetting
child - he is saying "help, I'm confused!" And this confusion is a direct result
of the culture clash of being domesticated without their instincts being
properly understood. Instead of adding to this culture clash by trying to impose
more human logic onto our dogs by rubbing noses, pointing fingers, etc. -
Nature's Formula for Obedience helps dogs adjust to their lifestyles so that all
this confusion automatically goes.

In order to get our dogs and ourselves out of this spiral, all we need to do is
understand our dogs' viewpoint instead of trying to make them understand ours.
Which they simply do not have the wiring up system for. They just don't get it.

So what do they get (besides verbal abuse, treats and being squirted with water
pistols)? This is what they get:

> 1) Dogs do not do what their leader says (they can't speak) – they do what the
> does. He leads by example.
> 
> 2) Which means that if we direct aggression or hostility toward our dog (which
> is what “being firm” and “dominating” in reality actually are – he is learning
> to be aggressive. (Which, when you come to think of it, explains a lot…) and
> even if he does not actually become aggressive – he becomes angry.
> 
> 3) And he expresses his frustration and anger in various ways – taking it on
> our possessions; retaliating by being aggressive; using “gutter language”.

 

Put yourself in your dog's place, says Pam Whyte.. Would you like to be spoken
to “firmly” while having a finger pointed in your face; have verbal abuse
directed at you (which is what “being firm” actually is); being squirted with a
water pistol, or threatened with a rolled up newspaper??  (Even if you are not
being physically hurt – your feelings will be hurt. Dogs have feelings just the
same as we do. Would you be angry? So is your dog.

But what if you got treats and love as well, and actually loved the person who
does these things to you, and is loved by the person who does these things to
you? I'll tell you. You would be even more confused. And so is your dog.

Dogs that mess all over do so for two reasons:

 < they are confused;

 > they are angry.

And these are 2 very good reasons to use gutter language. Our dog is not in
insentient robot. He has feelings, opinions and needs. And one of those needs
(which we all have) is to be understood, and to have their viewpoint considered.

Because that is what a dog that is “not house trained” is doing – retaliating by
saying “I am also p**d off with you!” when he urinates inappropriately and “You
stink!” when he defecates inappropriately. (Humans who love each other also have
these types of conversations, so don't be too alarmed at your dog for speaking
to you like this. It does not mean that he does not love you – it means that he
loves you enough to be angry with you. And like humans who work through and
resolve their anger issues, Natures Formula for Obedience shows you just how to
do this with your dog.

And this is the process:

> o      Why is your dog angry with you?
> 
>         Because you are angry with him.
> 
> o      And why are you angry with him?
> 
>         Because he is disobedient!
> 
> o      And why is he disobedient?
> 
>         Because he does not understand you!

Aaah – now we have the solution…. When our dogs understand us, they will not
disobey us, then we will not get angry with them, then they will not be angry
with us, and will therefore not retaliate with gutter language. Or in any other
way.

So as soon as our dog is understood, and correct communication (which is totally
non-gimmicky, and is mainly simple and subtle nonverbals, most of which we
humans use on a daily basis) replaces dominating, giving orders, punishing and
bribing – then the problem automatically goes by itself. (As I said – the
solution is to be found “out of the box”! Get ready for an exciting journey into
your dog's mind!)

These that Pam teaches techniques have never once been known to fail! Some of
the dogs who have gone through our programme had been so angry with their owners
that they had been “topping up” on extra water, drinking huge amounts simply so
they could express their anger all the more graphically. And the very day after
correct communication replaced firmness, orders, verbal abuse, etc. – the dog
was immediately toilet- trained. Without any rubbed noses (creating yet more
anger...) citronella, pepper, mustard or vinegar (creating yet more confusion…)
The dogs simply went to their toilet naturally – away from sleeping areas, water
and food on an absorbent surface. Just like a child no longer bed wets when the
child is properly understood, and the underlying cause of the problem has
therefore been removed.

Nature's way is always simple.

Pam teaches dog owners what is going on in their dog's heads! (Yes, and cats,
too.) Dogs have highly complex minds, instincts and emotions. Being genetically
programmed for social networking and survival, they are capable of strategizing
and thinking, and have a highly developed communication system built into their
DNA. Pam teaches dog owners how to cross this communication gap and get onto the
same wavelength as their pet. As she demonstrates in her home movies on dog
language - there is no such thing as a naughty dog - only a confused dog. Once
you understand the subtle and exciting nuances of the dogs' body signals and how
they interpret ours, you will be able communicate correctly with your dog! And
bingo - now that he actually understands you - he will be only too happy to obey
you! All dogs want to be good. They only need to be understood!

 Saving Money by Curing Excessive Barking in the Domestic Dog.

By Pam Whyte.

Written on request for publication by the holistic vets in California by Pam
Whyte.

Conservationists have taught Pam Whyte that the reasons why dogs in their
natural habitat bark are:

1) Because their adrenalin is levels are too high.

Dogs are designed for living under survival conditions. They therefore have a
very finely tuned central nervous system. When we do the “civilized thing”, and
unwittingly activate our dog's emergency nervous system through play, commands,
and so on, we put them on “high alert”. This means that our dog's survival
instincts are informed that there is danger, so in this state of heightened
awareness, they react to every single sound, and overreact to every situation.
(Exactly the way a human does when they are in “fight or flee”. Many dogs who
have been in this state of high alert for a long time are actually “shell
shocked”, and live on their nerves, restlessly running round and round, barking
with a very high pitch, and chasing anything that moves.

We can only shut down our dog's sympathetic, or emergency nervous system and put
them into social mode by removing these emergency signals until the barking,
panting and restlessness (which are all symptoms of the same syndrome) have
gone. This means that high pitches, raised voices, raising our voice at our
children as well as our dog (which never works any way – it only makes them
rebel), not giving orders (homes are not army camps or class rooms) using tones
that convey trust and illicit cooperation. Alternatives for commands which our
dog's instincts can relate to are all part of the book on Dog Language by Pam
Whyte – Living with an Alien.

Next, Pam Whyte points out in her lectures and talks that our obsession with our
dog's fitness causes many dogs to be too fit for their lifestyle. Excessive
exercise causes dogs, like humans, to become addicted to their endorphins, and
when they go cold turkey for a “fix” – they bark.  Dog owners then think that
their dogs need to “get rid of their energy” – where as they are in fact simply
getting a fix, which makes them peaceful again. For a short while. As well as
fitter so that he can no longer cope with the size property that he lives on.
Then he barks because he is stressed and frustrated.

Until eventually, many of these dogs get sent to a farm. Where they kill sheep.
And are then sent back to the city, where their owners are told “They need lots
of exercise…” So their new owners buy their new dog a new electric collar, which
the dog soon gets used to. So he has his bark cut out, and this causes breathing
complications, with further operations, and so these misguided and misinformed
dog owners are caught up in the “consumer loop”, which is supportedby so many of
these myths about dogs.

Dogs that are high on endorphins do not protect their families properly as they
do not have the mental clarity to distinguish friend from foe. Many also even
think that the intruder has come to throw their ball for them. Or they are so
busy chasing the next door cat up a tree that they don't even notice the
burglar.

Dogs get plenty of exercise running to and fro in their homes – what they are
needing is mental health. Mentally healthy dogs do not bark for nothing. Do not
run up high vet bills. Are automatically obedient. Automatically protect their
owners. Don't pull on the lead (see below :**), chew possessions, or dig in the
garden. Are loyal and trustworthy friends. Our dogs have brilliant minds,
thrilling intuition, an already inbuilt desire to please their owners, plus
their own inbuilt language. Dog owners are being short changed, as they are not
being given the opportunity to get the full value out of their (truly amazing,
and very underestimated and misunderstood) dog. And so is he.

More good news… All carnivores (and that is what our dog is – in the wild sleep
18 hours a day. When we disturb this natural rhythm in our dogs, we get
behaviour problems, high vet bills, disobedience, incessant barking, dog fights,
chasing the cat, bolting out of the gate and running down the street... and
possibly illness through burnout. When a dog is pumped full of endorphins
through rough play, chasing or running, he then barks to call other dogs in the
neighbourhood to his perceived hunt to pack with him, because his instincts have
received hunting signals from all these activities.

Pam research reveals that one of our studies has revealed that 87% of all dog
owners admitted to experiencing behaviour problems with their pet dogs. The
reason for this - the current mindset toward dogs is focusing on turning dogs
into Olympic Champions instead of developing healthy and rewarding relationships
with them. Which removes their compulsion to bark, disobey, not come when they
are called, pull on their lead, etc.

2) To warn intruders off. If a dog is to know the difference between normal and
abnormal, friend or foe, right and wrong, he has to have mental clarity. Which
is basically what this pamphlet is about.

3) To draw attention to themselves, or to have a tantrum. This means that the
dog is getting too much attention, so that when they are not the centre of
attention, they have a barking wobbly. How much attention to give a dog is
roughly the amount of attention one would normally give to a 12 year old child.
(That's not a movie star.)

4) Due to overreaction or fear. A dog that barks through fear usually cannot see
out, or does not get out of his property. Allowing our dog to see out of his
property gives him a frame of reference for visitors and life in general,
contributing to the dog's (vital) mental soundness. 

If, first of all, a dog is given a view out onto the street, (if he barks at
everything he sees, his adrenalin is running too high – see later); and second
gets taken onto his pavement for 5 minutes a day to sniff and stare at this “big
new world”, he does not over react to everyone who comes in. This enables him to
distinguish between friend and foe.

Trying to reassure a dog that barks at visitors thinks they are asking him for
help. If everyone turns their back on a dog that is barking through fear of
visitors, the barking behaviour is not reinforced.  He then gets the message
that all is well and he does not need to panic anymore.  Trying to reassure him
only compounds the problem as the dog simply thinks their owners are asking him
to rescue them. Dogs do not reason the way we do.

Environmentalists have taught Pam Whyte that this is because all dogs are
genetically programmed for survival in the wild. And because these scientific
facts are totally overlooked by both dog owners and dog professionals, the
result is – a lack of ability to control our pet dogs, “disobedience” and
behaviour problems. So because dog owners are not understanding their dogs, the
widely held belief that that dogs “need” training persists, and they try
different types of training and one new gimmick after another, (clickers,
crates, water pistols, electric collars, etc.) as the new flavour of the month
appear on the market to confuse dog owners (and delight the behaviour problem
industry” even further.

5) They are frustrated and/or stressed.

Pam has noted that our domestic dog needs to be given the opportunity to be
understood, and to adjust to his lifestyle and to us in order to have peace of
mind, so that he does not bark in order to express his stress and frustration.
This makes him easy to control and a pleasure to live with. Dogs cannot speak or
attend to their own needs, so they bark in order to “cry for help”. Disciplining
or punishing them does not solve their problem. Which is:

a)      Hunger. Dogs howl and bark for the same reason that babies cry - they
need to be heard and to be understood. As people, we do not recognise a dog's
“cry” for food. Our obsession with our dog's shape causes more than 79.4% of
privileged domestic pets to experience incessant hunger pangs. The current trend
to treat dogs as specimens and trophies is increasing the incidence of'
excessive barking, and families are finding it increasingly stressful living
with hungry, restless, hyperactive, noisy dogs.

Shifting the focus from the dog's outward appearance to his feelings and to our
relationship with him, removes the need to bark as a result of hunger. Like with
ourselves, only the dog himself knows when his hunger is satisfied. Every dog
has a different fuel requirement and this varies with such factors as the
temperature of the day, the size property he lives on and his individual
metabolism.

Like with ourselves, our dog needs to eat an enjoyable meal twice a day until he
leaves food behind in his bowl. The carnivore continues hunting until there is
food left behind for scavengers. He brings home excess food for the rest of the
pack and for his food caches. Until our dog is taking in as much fuel as he is
burning out, he is living under famine conditions. We have no right to dictate
what shape a dog should be.

Dog owners are constantly reporting to Pam Whyte that their well fed, stocky
dogs that are not anorexic are child-friendly, neighbour friendly,
garden-friendly, cannot be bribed by intruders and save an arm and a leg on vet
bills. Many a family has been burgled, and many a dog has been poisoned after
being put on diet.

b)      Loneliness. The dog may also bark because he is lonely. The compatible
companionship of another dog of similar strength and opposite sex will relieve
loneliness. Dogs are social animals and do not cope any more than humans do,
when spending long hours alone day after day.

c)      Isolation. They can't see out and/or never get out. This has been
covered in point 3)

6) Separation Anxiety. A dog that is over dependent on their owner cannot cope
with separation from them, and this leads to barking non stop and howling. The
easy, inexpensive and proven cure for this is described above and in detail in
Pam's book on The Language of the Pack – Living with an Alien”. This simple cure
is now used by holistic vets in USA.

7) Because they are bored. Toys do not relieve boredom. They wind dogs up and
stimulate their adrenalin secretions – and adrenalin causes inappropriate
(hunting) barking. Cow hooves that have not been over sterilized (so that they
still have their vitamin B) have a calming effect on the dog.

Other calming chewies that Pam Whyte recommends are pig ears, ostrich tendons
and marrow bones. At the end of a hunt, dogs chew on bones, horns and hooves,
and this activity brings their hunting steroids down again so that they can show
affection and express social behaviour again. Which does not take place during a
hunt.

8) Dogs bark in order to train their owners! Yes, dogs are far more successful
at training humans than humans are at training dogs. All a dog needs to do is
say “Woof!” to condition his owner to:

i) Come when called;

ii) Look at him;

iii) Say his name.

And the next time he is feeling lonely (dogs that live outside in isolation to
their families like to see their owners from time to time) he says “Woof!” And
it works so well. The solution is to let your dog become part of your family.
Living with an Alien by Pam will show you how to integrate your dog into your
family without any messing indoors, jumping on furniture, chewing things or
running off with possessions. Easily and kindly.

9) Because they have been to dog training. (You notice that our dogs don't need
to go to school to learn to train us. We have to go to school to (try to) learn
to train them. And this process can take a year or more. Most of us are
expelled. In the meantime, as you have seen, our dogs are training us. (To look
at them, to say their name, to give them our undivided attention…) This is
accomplished within the first lesson. (5 minutes of the first lesson, to be
exact.) 

Conservations have taught Pam Whyte that this system takes its rules from the
army which has nothing at all to do with the wolf pack. Sergeant majors command
their platoons – Alpha dogs don't command their pack. So because this is an
artificial system, when we command our dog, he thinks we are barking as well.
(Both a bark and a command are a sharp, loud outburst, impacting on the dog's
instincts as a call to an emergency.) You only need to listen to the
neighbourhood networking system to realise that it only takes one dog to set all
the others off. So our knee jerk reaction to our dog parking is therefore
perceived by their instincts as us joining in the neighbourhood networking
system as well. (They're dogs, and that is the way they are genetically
programmed to reason.) So if you don't network with your dog (“bark” as well),
this chain reaction between you and him will automatically stop.

ii) At dog training, the dogs all bark, and their owners “bark” too. So dogs
think that they all gather at training in order to bark. (They are only dogs,
they don't reason like we do.) The trainers also bark – in fact they bark at the
owners as well.

Environmentalists have taught Pam that dogs learn by example. So it's no good
exposing a dog to a lot of barking dogs in order to teach him not to bark – he
just brings these habits home with him. In fact, they have now become the norm.

  

*Dogs that pull on the lead are easily cured by Don't be a Dope on a Rope leads
which have been designed by Pam herself.

(Research that has been conducted by Pam Whyte with the cooperation of
conservationists.)

Our dog’s behaviour is a result of our behaviour.  (Oops..)

By Pam Whyte.

Dogs lead by example - not by giving orders. If we are aggressive our dog will
be aggressive. If we are calm, our dog will be calm. If we command our dog to
stop barking our dog thinks we are barking too. (Dogs don’t command each other.)
And if we command our dog to stop jumping on a visitor - he thinks we are
barking at the visitor. Or child. (He’s a dog - not a person.)

We cannot enjoy our dog until we can co-exist with our dog. We cannot co-exist
with our dog until we can communicate with him in a way he understands. Dogs are
not disobedient, Pam Whyte teaches in her classes - they do not understand us.
There is no such thing as a naughty dog - only a confused dog. When we say to
our dog - "Look what you've done you naughty dog!" -He (being an alien) hears -
"Look what you've done you clever dog! (Which explains why he continus to dig.)
And when we say: "Don’t you dare dig up my flowers!" - he hears: "I dare you to
dig up my flowers!" (Which explains why he does.) And when he pulls us on the
lead, he thinks we are chasing him. (He’s a dog.)

Animal Nutritionists have taught Pam Whyte that food quantities on packets are
worked out for laboratory dogs - who burn up far less fuel than our domestic
dog. When our dog is hungry, he cannot tell us, and he cannot hunt a rabbit
(only our possessions, our children and our visitors) - so we owe it to our Best
Buddy to attend to this essential and very vital need to balance his individaul
calorie input with his calorie output. In a human society, where there is hunger
- there is crime. (Which we call "behaviour disorders, puppy behaviour he’ll
grow out of it when he’s two, disobedience" etc. in our dogs.) And in the wild
where there is a food shortage, love, loyalty and unity all break down in a pack
of dogs and they go into survival mode. (What we call disobedience, behaviour
problems, destructiveness, dog aggression, etc.) Conservationists and
environmentalists have taught Pam Whyte that we have lost sight of the fact that
dogs are animals. In fact, they are social animals, who are capable of intense
loyalty, affection, respect and trust toward their fellow members. Provided that
they are out of survival. In other words, provided that their calorie input
balances their calorie output. Dogs that are in survival dig, disobey, chase
cats, bark for nothing, chew the sprinkler system, jump o visitors, chase
children, have weakened immune systems.

And what about some of Pam Whyte’s “30 second solutions”?

 *  > If you want your dog to stop demanding attention - put your hands on your
   face.
 *  > If you want your dog to stop chewing a carpet or electric wires - walk out
   of the room.
 *  > If you want your dog to drop your shoe - don’t let him know you want it
   then he won’t want it. After all, 30 men   fighting over a ball won’t want it
   either if everyone else decides that they don't want it. Closing a door
   between you and him soon makes him drop his loot.
 *  > If your dog rushes ahead of you through a door, close the door immediately
   behind him, then open it a second or two later and he will dash back through
   it. The threshold is then yours.

However, owning a dog is not about winning. It's about not losing. I.e. -
developing a healthy relationship with your dog, so that he does not want to
insult, abuse and take advantage of you. Which automatically means not losing,
because dog owning is not a competition. So when all the simple and kind (to
both dog and owner) natural principles that Pam Whyte teaches in her Natural Dog
Training are put into practice - 30 second solutions will become obsolete. And
of course, don't forget that dogs are smart. So if you break the Laws of the
Jungle, your dog will soon find new ways to outwit you.

However, if he understands and respects you - it will not even cross his mind to
pull these stunts over you any more.

Put yourself in your dog's place, says Pam Whyte.. Would you like to be spoken
to “firmly” while having a finger pointed in your face; have verbal abuse
directed at you (which is what “being firm” actually is); being squirted with a
water pistol, or threatened with a rolled up newspaper??  (Even if you are not
being physically hurt – your feelings will be hurt. Dogs have feelings just the
same as we do. Would you be angry? So is your dog.

But what if you got treats and love as well, and actually loved the person who
does these things to you, and is loved by the person who does these things to
you? I'll tell you. You would be even more confused. And so is your dog.

Dogs that mess all over do so for two reasons:

 < they are confused;

 > they are angry.

And these are 2 very good reasons to use gutter language. Our dog is not in
insentient robot. He has feelings, opinions and needs. And one of those needs
(which we all have) is to be understood, and to have their viewpoint considered.

Because that is what a dog that is “not house trained” is doing – retaliating by
saying “I am also p**d off with you!” when he urinates inappropriately and “You
stink!” when he defecates inappropriately. (Humans who love each other also have
these types of conversations, so don't be too alarmed at your dog for speaking
to you like this. It does not mean that he does not love you – it means that he
loves you enough to be angry with you. And like humans who work through and
resolve their anger issues, Natures Formula for Obedience shows you just how to
do this with your dog.

And this is the process:

> o      Why is your dog angry with you?
> 
>         Because you are angry with him.
> 
> o      And why are you angry with him?
> 
>         Because he is disobedient!
> 
> o      And why is he disobedient?
> 
>         Because he does not understand you!

Aaah – now we have the solution…. When our dogs understand us, they will not
disobey us, then we will not get angry with them, then they will not be angry
with us, and will therefore not retaliate with gutter language. Or in any other
way.

So as soon as our dog is understood, and correct communication (which is totally
non-gimmicky, and is mainly simple and subtle nonverbals, most of which we
humans use on a daily basis) replaces dominating, giving orders, punishing and
bribing – then the problem automatically goes by itself. (As I said – the
solution is to be found “out of the box”! Get ready for an exciting journey into
your dog's mind!)

These that Pam Whyte teaches techniques have never once been known to fail! Some
of the dogs who have gone through our programme had been so angry with their
owners that they had been “topping up” on extra water, drinking huge amounts
simply so they could express their anger all the more graphically. And the very
day after correct communication replaced firmness, orders, verbal abuse, etc. –
the dog was immediately toilet- trained. Without any rubbed noses (creating yet
more anger...) citronella, pepper, mustard or vinegar (creating yet more
confusion…) The dogs simply went to their toilet naturally – away from sleeping
areas, water and food on an absorbent surface. Just like a child no longer bed
wets when the child is properly understood, and the underlying cause of the
problem has therefore been removed.

Nature's way is always simple.

Pam Whyte teaches dog owners what is going on in their dog's heads! (Yes, and
cats, too.) Dogs have highly complex minds, instincts and emotions. Being
genetically programmed for social networking and survival, they are capable of
strategizing and thinking, and have a highly developed communication system
built into their DNA. Pam teaches dog owners how to cross this communication gap
and get onto the same wavelength as their pet. As she demonstrates in her home
movies on dog language - there is no such thing as a naughty dog - only a
confused dog. Once you understand the subtle and exciting nuances of the dogs'
body signals and how they interpret ours, you will be able communicate correctly
with your dog! And bingo - now that he actually understands you - he will be
only too happy to obey you! All dogs want to be good. They only need to be
understood!

Pam Whyte’s Recipe for Mental Health.

By Pam Whyte.

You can live comfortably with a person (whether they have two legs or four) that
is not in peak physical condition - but not with one that is mentally unhealthy.

A dog that is mentally unhealthy is a dog that is displaying behavioural
disorders.

Mental health is a subject that is 100% overlooked by the mainstream dog system.
(Ever heard a behaviour therapist, vet, puppy socialiser or dog trainer discuss
the subject of Mental Health in the Domestic Dog? Pulease...) Put that together
with statistics like - "Behaviour problems in dogs are doubling every 10 years";
"87% of all dog owners in a study conducted by a Medical Journal admitted to
experiencing behaviour problems with their dogs" and according to a Veterinary
Journal, "More dogs under the age of 3 years die as a result of being euthanased
by vets than from any other cause." And two and two make four.

So how do we give our dogs mental health?

1. If a dog cannot see out of his properly, he cannot have a frame of reference
for all who come in. How can a watch dog be a watch dog if he cannot watch?

2. His mind must be on his relationships with us and with your other pets,
rather than his next meal. (Or “meal”). In other words, his calorie input must
balance his calorie output. hunger satisfied. Children at school are also be
troublesome, their work suffers and they cannot concentrate when all they are
thinking about is food.

3. He needs to understand you. Which is what the book on Dog Language, Living
with an Alien by Pam Whyte is all about.

4. He must have a measure of self-sufficiency in order to prevent separation
anxiety.

5. He must have access to his family indoors when they are at home - especially
to the living area. Our dogs are our children, and we don't lock our children
away from the living areas. Dogs that are locked away from their families are
our neighbours -not our family member! And you can’t tell your neighbour what to
do. "Hah!" I hear someone say - my dog will just chew my carpet and jump all
over us and our furniture! No problem, email Pam Whyte at
pam@TrustWorthyDogs.com and she will come to your rescue!

6. He must have an outing on the lead on his pavement (local is lekker) about 4
or 5 times a week for about 5 - 10 minutes (dogs multiply everything by 7) to
open his wee-mail and leave wee-mail, or he will get cabin fever. Dogs will
retian their original instincts, so pavement politics is even more important
than exercise. ou can live with someone who is not in peak physical condition,
but not with someone who is menatally unhealty.

6. He must adapt to your individual circumstances and lifestyle - which is where
Pam Whyte's Natural Dog Training is unique - it is tailor made dog training for
each individual family.

7. You must have realistic expectations of your dog. Modern marketing is
encouraging dog owners to make impossible demands on their dogs, which causes
dogs to become stressed and confused and their families to be frustrated and
angry with their dogs. Pam Whyte's Natural Dog Training teaches you how to own a
dog that is compatible with his family.

8. He must be adaptable. Changes take place with new babies arriving, house
sitters coming, moving house, visitors, builders.... an adaptable dog copes with
each these inevitbale changes - Pam Whyte's Recipe for Mental Health shows you
how.

9. He should not chase children on roller blades, playing ball, on their
tricycle or when running - out of choice. If they obey a command not to chase,
either an authority figure will always have to be present when children play -
or the dog will have to be locked away when children play, and the resulting
barking, scratching and chewing and eventually escaping creates more problems
than it is solving. Children should NOT have to stand still, not scream, not
breathe, not exist becaus the family has acquired a dog! Pam Whyte's Natural Dog
Training is unique in that it adopts the priorities of the family and teaches
them how to make the dog fit in with their children -and not the other way
around. Like all members of the family, with Pam Whyte's Natural Dog Training,
you will learn how to make your dog simply slot into his place in the family
naturally and easily, and without any stress and trauma and repeating and
practising...

10) A mentally healthy dog can distinguish between visitors and intruders
without being told or taught. This is because only when he is mentally healty
can his (primal) intuition kick in. As many grateful dog owners can testify.

understand peoples experiences." (Email to Pam Whyte)

"Four years ago you came to my house to train a very naughty little doggie. He
is 16 or 17 years old. It's the small black thing that I got from the SPCA. He

"WOW,  What an eye opener!  Thank you for your time and patience with the 4 of
us.  When you left last night we let both dogs in the house.  Arthur try his
tricks again by jumping on me, but we did as you showed us and he got down
nicely.  We got on with our normal stuff and they were much more relaxed."(Email
to Pam Whyte)

"My dog is still fascinated by the rabbit that you came and cured her of chasing
in my little cottage in London, but over the weeks I have noticed her reaction
to him become more and more friendly. He goes up to her on a daily basis, sits
and eats near her and touches noses – and she wags her tail!"  (Email to Pam
Whyte)

"I can even leave them alone unsupervised now. Thanyou again for your
help."(Email to Pam Whyte)

how we need to see through their eyes. (Do you have any hints for me as a
teacher of a difficult class of 7year olds too?!)" (Email to Pam Whyte)

(Report after first consultation with a very aggressive dog:) "Just to say
thanks again. Monty is a different dog. He still growls on the very odd occasion
at my husband, but no more biting. (I think he has growled maybe 3 or 4 times
since your last visit 2 months ago and I probably would have growled as well if
I was him)  (Email to Pam Whyte)

Much calmer and accepts his place in the household.  One big happy family now
resides in our home at Claremont!" (Email to Pam Whyte)

"I thought you were just going to be another spin doctor – but I am very glad
you came. It makes our dogs so enjoyable for me and my wife - and its so hassle
free." (Email to Pam Whyte.)

"We went away for the week end and our Bullie never dug a single hole." (Email
to Pam Whyte)

"You have given us back our lives, our sanity and our chairs!"

"After Pam cured dog fights: We are in heaven - we keep pinching ourselves. I
will now show my vet how to get his dog off Prozac." (Email to Pam Whyte)

"put the dogs in the front when we went out after you left and came back – they
didn’t dig one hole!" (Email to Pam Whyte)

"Thank you, thank you. I have not been nipped once today. Thanks so very much
for your time and expertise yesterday.  

"Personally I am much more informed and equipped." (Email to Pam Whyte)

"Am now comfortably writing to you  while Flame, my Bull Terrier is sleeping at
my side - ignoring all the yaps from the next door dog."(Email to Pam Whyte)

"Such a pity I did not meet you much earlier as we both have to unlearn 7 months
of "training".  Am also pleased to have your book, it makes so much sense and
has helped to reinforce and remind me of what you said last night ( what an
exciting learning curve). (Email to Pam Whyte)

I am confident today knowing we are on the right track at last and Flame is so
much calmer. She did not lunge out of the gate this morning but walked quietly
behind me." (Email to Pam Whyte)

"I saw Pam last night, and she helped me so much. Thank you, I'm doing much
better today..." (Email to Pam Whyte)

"THANK YOU for all your assistance & guidance yesterday. He is already a changed
dog…. First time since we had him that we had a quiet night. This morning when
we opened the door he went outside by himself (no jumping or barking) We also
watched your DVD and I am enjoying the book a lot." (Email to Pam Whyte)

 'Thankyou for coming to help us, so that we all can live together. Last night,
Monty didn’t attack me as he does when my husband comes home, he growled and
barked, then he left me and went to go lay down. Definite improvement." (Email
to Pam Whyte)

He also only went out about twice to go bark and was much calmer – not jumping
up and barking at every little noise. He was also not tripping me up every where
I walked, like he used to and getting under my feet!!"' (Email to Pam Whyte)

"After you left, our visitors arrived and our Boerboel went straight to his bed.
He stayed there all through supper (he usually hassles us endlessly at the
supper table) and only got up once later to check everyone out again, but again
we ignored him and he returned to his bed. Our visitors say they have never seen
him so calm." (Email to Pam Whyte)

 

"Thanks again for the session yesterday. It seemed to have a real effect on
Sirius. Last night after you'd left he was alot calmer and alot less mischievous
than usual. I could straighten out me cupboards without him grabbing any of my
belongings. He did in fact take an object but as soon as i did what you said he
left it and went to someone else in the house with the same effect. (Email to
Pam Whyte)

So, there's definitely a difference there..." (Email to Pam Whyte)

"I honestly think that you are fantastic, Pam. Integration [between aggressive
dog and cats] successful so far " (Email to Pam Whyte)

"Thanks Pam for an interesting evening! So far so good! Usher has walked much
better on the lead: no tripping up, no pulling back (or forwards) minimal
barking at labourers. He has not weed indoors at all today I do feel we are
making headway... let's see what tomorrow brings! Whole family are co-operating
fabulously! Thanks so much! " (Email to Pam Whyte)

"Without Pam we'd all be a bunch of ignorami." (Email to Pam Whyte)

"Just an update on how we doing? I'm def feel less tension in the house and am
more relaxed " (Email to Pam Whyte)

"left the dogs in the front garden after you left, and when I got back – no
digging! And they did not jump on us or bark at us the way they usually do."
(Email to Pam Whyte)

"Thank you so much for your help yesterday with Chloë and Toby. We had to go out
after you left and when we got back we just walked strait on to the door they
did not jump up on us they just walked with us. Usually at night they are very
hyperactive but last night nothing. (Email to Pam Whyte)

In the mornings they usually jump all over us after they have been fed. This
morning nothing. Jason pulled the car out this morning the usually story they
will run for the gate. He said this morning the gate was wide open and they just
sat there did not even make a move." (Email to Pam Whyte)

"They know something is up but they just can't put their finger on it. Last
night we had a couple over they walked in there was no jumping on them and not
once did the two of them set foot in the lounge like they normally do to lick
the people or jump up on them when they are sitting." (Email to Pam Whyte)

"I called you in 10 years ago with my Boerboel – she never gave us a day’s
hassle after you spent just one afternoon with her!"(Email to Pam Whyte)

"I haven't written to you in a while and my dogs are much much better (the
barking has definately calmed down) " (Email to Pam Whyte)

"Pam, I 1stly want to tell you that you do amazing work!... you must love every
moment... Your book is hilarious as well as very informative." (Email to Pam
Whyte)

 

You must be thinking... "Wow! This is great!!"  And you're perfectly correct! An
understood dog is a happy dog! And an understood owner is a happy owner...
