“The way a dog communicates alters the circuitry of their brain. On the flip side, the way a dog is communicated ‘to’ by family members (or others, including family pets, strange dogs and strange people) also alters the circuitry of their brain. Mindful communication equals transformation and behavior change.”
Just in the way we communicate to our dogs can reduce stress, and increase a relationship (often eroded when a dog has behavior challenges affecting how they are communicating). This is important in the implementation of a successful behavior modification program. Releasing over-threshold stress is a key component to better results, retention and learning. Communication is two-way in a positive learning experience.
