Sunny Luthra - Everything Dogs

Many times we fail to control the impulses our dog goes through, and the reason is that we don't know how to do that and how to prepare for that. In this episode, I am going to talk about a simple technique that you include in your day 2 day activities with your dog.

Food aggression can be prevented in all the dogs with 100% success rate if you know the right process, and in this podcast we are going to deep dive in the food aggression issue and you will learn how to prevent this issue in your puppy.

This is a very serious issue and can degrade the quality of life.

Please listen and please implement.

Dogs do become unstable when you shift to a new place, there is a process you must follow if you want your dog to calm down and not become unstable at the new place you are shifting.

Please don’t take my words otherwise, I love dogs and like you, I also want the best for them and the best for humans too.

Hate creates hate, let’s work on finding a solution rather than blaming each other so that we all can live in harmony, and peace and leave this world a little better than we found it.

Let's understand Indies.

Indies are like other dogs only, they are part of the animal kingdom.

All dogs are animals first, then they are species and then they are breed. Not fulfilling the need of the dogs create behavioural issues.

This is essentially what I did with every dog I worked with.

If you’re like most dog parents, you want to understand your dog as best as possible. And what better way to do that than to learn about dog psychology? So if you’re curious about how to build a stronger, more trusting relationship with dogs, read on! You may be surprised by what you learn.

If we consider the human species, our species, then we will basically find two kinds of psychology:

People see the world differently based on their gender. Often, men don’t understand women and women don’t understand men. This is because both genders have different psychology, and to fulfil each other needs we must understand the basics of it.

Understanding this concept of different psychology in people is critical since it allows you to take action and learn about the psychology of dogs because dogs are a different species.

Let me give you an example of the difference between the way humans behave with a nervous insecure dog and how dogs behave with such dogs:

Dogs generally give distance to such dogs and in mother nature, you will hardly see any such cases.

On the other hand, humans are completely different, most humans nurture insecurity in their dogs by not giving distance and worse by giving affection when the dog is nervous or insecure.

The reason most human nurture insecurity is lack of knowledge of dog psychology and lack of control over our own emotions because it is very hard to see our dog suffer.

Whenever a dog receives affection, his or her state of mind get nurtured. So if you are giving affection when the dog is under stress then you are nurturing his stressed state of mind. This is one of the differences between human psychology and dog psychology.

Now multiply this nurturing of the wrong state of mind, nurturing a fearful state of mind, every day, then over a period of time, the dog will get habitual of living in a fear state of mind always, which leads to a very unhappy life, a sad life just because of the lack of understanding of humans.

Dogs are part of the animal kingdom and in order to understand your dog’s state of mind, you first need to learn about how animals communicate.

Animals communicate with each other via their body language and their energy, that’s how they understand who is prey and who is the predator.

Interpreting your dog’s state of mind is important because every interaction you have at that time will be associated with that state of mind.

If your dog is not projecting calmness and confidence then he or she requires your guidance and not affection at that time.

When any dog gets under stress, he requires his pack to project calmness and confidence to become balanced again.

If you are feeling nervous, sad or giving affection to your dog when he/she is stressed, then you are actually making things worse for your dog. Dogs take feedback from their environment, so it is important to act with calmness and confidence around them.

Give affection and attention only when the dog is projecting calmness and confidence.

Dogs are social animals and in the wild, they live in packs. In order to have a balanced dog, you need to provide him with the same structure that he would find in the wild.

Here are the 5 rituals to create structure in your dog’s life:

Aggression is one of the most misunderstood behaviours in dogs because it is not an issue in the first place.

Most dog behaviourists or dog trainers or dog parents make a mistake by treating aggression as an issue but actually, aggression is a symptom of an underlying issue.

As a dog parent, your most important job is to help your dog get socialized, but most people think that socializing means your dog is playing with other dogs.

No that is not the meaning of socializing.

A well-socialized dog knows how to behave calmly whenever we asked him or her to be in any given scenario.

Today's podcast is about this only in which I discuss the what is meaning of socializing, why it is important and how you can get your dog socialized.
