Before you read these dog whisperer tips, imagine what your dog might be saying to you when it comes and stand on its haunches, just staring at you with its big brown eyes. You can’t really tell, can you? You’ll probably just end up patting its head, giving it a rub. And that’s about it.
Wrong Responses to Your Dog – Dog Whisperer Tips
What if the dog wanted to tell you that it had a stomach ache? It would bark and whine. And you would automatically assume it had to be hungry. So, you feed it. What if every time it chews your furniture or sofa away, it wanted to tell you that the tooth is infected and the only way pain eases is when it chews something or the other, and your sofa was just… there. Or, horror of all horrors, what if your dog wanted to tell you that it hated your guts and couldn’t wait to get the heck out of this house. And you would start clicker training it (eye roll).
See, when dogs speak doggerish, we need to understand it and communicate it back in a non- threatening way. This is what dog whisperers do. They communicate with the dog to solve discipline and behavioral issues.
How to Communicate With Your Dog – Dog Whisperer Tips
The easiest way to talk to a dog is not by words, but my actions. Dogs will learn to recognize only certain words from your language, and that too, after a while when they have been properly trained to hear and memorize those.
Dogs recognize tone and body language. Be firm, and they will listen to you. Be soft and cooing, and instantly they will roll onto their stomachs and demand, yes demand, a stomach rub. Be excited and clap your hands a few times, and then go crazy right in front of your eyes, saliva dripping, tail wagging, eyes hopeful for some adventure. Dogs respond to the energy of the trainer and that’s one of the best tips to being a dog whisperer.
