The Devine struggle with communication

• Verbal?
• Gestures?
• Touch?

What defines communication?

• What time Frame are we communicating in?
• Are gestures and body language more natural to us that verbal communication?
• Is that how we communicated to the animals in our primitive past and we have lost it?
• What happens when we touch? 
  • We tend to minimize this in our communication…

One Dog is Protection, Two Dogs are an Army, Three Dogs are Unstoppable

• The addition of a single dog for protection
  • Deterrent, Defense, Fight alongside you
  • One dog vs Human willing to fight = dead dog
• Two dogs do not 2x your protection, they 10x it
  • When attempting to target one dog, the other is attacking
  • Can engage both arms at the same time
  • Creates chaos and panic for the attacker
• Three dogs become impossible to track, often taking the assailant to the ground
  • Both arms and often a leg bite
  • If one dog is injured, there are still two to fight
  • When person goes to ground, dogs target head and neck bites
• Most economic way to get two protection dogs

• WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH DOG TRAINING?
   
  • Many of the concepts we have of the dog are so over simplified, we do the dog an injustice.
  • We don’t understand the dog.
  • When it comes to the simple things, like training a dog to do something, we want 101 ways and then we want to spend weeks trying to guess the best one before we do anything.

This is a visual heavy episode where we go through some of the bite work videos we have posted and give commentary and thoughts on what is going on.

We also start the episode with answering a question about adding a protection dog into a multi pet home.

To be alone is the fate of all who think for themselves

• Thinking for yourself is dangerous to you, those close to you and to the establishment
• You can be alone while be surrounded by peers and/or family
• Dealing with your thoughts when surrounded by sheep - sheep dog vs teacher
• Being willing to admit you’re wrong or don’t know something
• Being willing to learn from others (including sheep) and constantly improving yourself - the trap of thinking you’re always right
• PATTERN RECOGNITION
