A Dog Quote

He is your friend, your partner, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

I was struck the first time I read this quote. It seems to be full of passion and feelings for the dog. It describe how magnificent dogs are and that they are very loyal creatures and very honest.

Ever since the time I first handle dogs, I never felt the real meaning of friendship and partnership of man-dog relationship until I was introduce with this kind of training method. One will always say our dog is our friend, but its how we treat them as a friend that counts. Its not just providing food, water, & shelter. We should provide them with the physical and mental exercise in order for them to learn and improve their skills. We should not just concentrate on walking them 30 minutes to an hour a day and then we call them friends. When we have friends we spend quality time with them right? That should also be the same with dogs. We should provide the venue and opportunity for the dogs to improve his natural abilities. If we had a friend do we always treat them if we ask a favor from them? May be sometimes, but do you think a real friend will be looking forward for that treat if he does something for you? A real friend would just be happy doing it for you even if there he gets nothing in return. Some or most will argue, isn't it better if you received a reward after doing a favor from a friend? Well may be because that is their attitude towards their friend. Don't you think so?

A partner. There is no better training yet that I know than this method that develops man-dog partnership. In fact it just not develop man-dog partnership but it promotes it. That is why this training is not for everybody. This training is for those who really want to learn how to communicate with their dogs. With this method you will realize what a partner a dog can be. This will also improve your character not just your handling skills. Because this make you know yourself better. To explain briefly on how you develop your partnership with the dog, all training is done with communication. Your dogs will go where you will go. You assist your dog on obstacles that he finds difficult. This might be hard to visualize but once you experience it you will see that there is a magical bond between man and dog. This training will also show that you are his leader. You will lead him through the exercise until he can do it alone. I think there is no better way to earn the respect of your dog than this. If man respects a good leader, what more of a dog. During the hard times of training you are together, so is there a better way to gain a dogs friendship, trust, and respect than this? This will only show that you are his friend, partner and leader.

We as dog lovers sometimes forgot what dogs really are. They are dogs, and they are happy just to be dogs. Now most people will call them babies, treat them as babies. This are the people who claims to be responsible dog owners. If we treat dog as babies they will become weak, and in their natural world there is no room for weakness, as nature will always cull the weak. Today we can see a lot of weak dogs, its because they have been bred for weakness and they are treated to be weak. If only the dogs could speak, they would surely say it is not the right way to treat them.

They are so loyal and honest, that they will not advance when his handler will not. Dogs will go only where handlers will go. Dogs are gift to man, they have a purpose and they were made that way ever since. If we read history, dogs were very useful, they have been used in different purposes. They were given to us to assist us in many works. We owe it to them. It is not our right to have dogs, it was given to us and it is a privilege to have such faithful and honest companion. Unfortunately today, those who treat dogs as dogs are being labeled as irresponsible owners. Because we train them hard and in harsh environments. But little do they know that dogs should be strong, we should treat them strong. It is natural for them to be strong in order to survive. Dogs are noble creatures, and let us treat them the way they should be treated.
