   We believe a well behaved dog is a happy dog and that the owner of a well behaved dog is a happy owner. By using positive motivation and clicker training we hope to help pets and their owners live in happy harmony.

   The first mistake many people make when evaluating their dogs happiness is to assume that what would make a person happy will also make a dog happy. Many people view their dogs as family and feel a parental-like bond with their pets. While this level of caring is a good thing, treating your canine children like human children can sometime result in the development of troublesome behaviors.

   Dogs are pack animals closely descended from wolves. Even the cute little Pug or Yorkie shares an amazing amount of genetic material with their wolf relatives. Among most pack animals there must be a strict social hierarchy in order to keep the peace and keep all pack members happy. Since an owner, and an owner's family, make up what your dog sees as his pack, we must begin to look at things from their point of view. Some dominant dogs would love to be pack leaders. Most people however would prefer to keep the "pack leader" position for themselves and so sometimes conflict arises. By maintaining a consistent routine many problems can be avoided. It is not only the dominant dogs that feel the pressure of finding their role in the pack hierarchy. Less dominant dogs may be stressed by feeling a need to lead when their humans will not! Looking at things from a dogs point of view can help us understand how best to interpret their behaviors and therefore how to correct behaviors we see as less than desirable in a manner that will result in happier dogs and happier people!!
