Dog Training At Animal Education, Kate uses dog training methods are based on natural canine communication and animal psychology. This involves understanding what the dog is thinking and approving or correcting the thought in the dog's mind before it becomes a actual behaviour. The method used to achieve this is observing left and right brain reactions and adjusting our responses accordingly. The right brain handles all the dogs instant behaviours, flight, fight, chasing prey, anyhting the dog does automatically. Left brain is the logic side, where a dog will figure out an easier way to do things. This is where you want them to be, thinking "yes, what can I do for you?" The handler is then taught how to use the dog's own canine body language to communicate back to the dog, instead of confusing it with human (primate) body language.
