Classes & Sessions
There is a divine science to dogs based on harmony, vibration and consciousness.
In accordance with this, Harmony 4 Dogs (H4D) bases all sessions and classes on energetic awareness first.
Training with H4D is informed by the lived wisdom and natural authority of the human and does not rely on treats, control methods, clickers, alpha dog theories, electronics, negative re-enforcement or any type of conditioning training.
Our ‘job’ as the human, is to support our dog to be the best dog they can be. This involves letting them know what it is you expect from them and acknowledging them when they do it.
As a dog does not move in response to a spoken command first but to the vibration of what is being offered, then leaving our emotions at the door is super important.
Training is simple but it requires an energetic consistency from us. Which basically means we, the human, are also in training. Lets face it honestly, who lives the consistency of their natural authority in every situation?
And while we are on that subject it is interesting to note how many meanings we can extrapolate from the word authority.
Authority, as an everyday expression usually means:
- Being an authoritarian / dictator
- Dominating over another
- Using our power over another
- Needing to be always in charge of the situation
- Heavy handed
- Demanding subservience etc
All these interpretations infer that whoever brings the authority is dominating over the situation and dictating how it is going to roll out. Which may be how it looks from the outside but is not actually what is going on, as authority has a strong component of love and it is this we work with first and foremost.
Harmony 4 Dogs uses the word authority as a way for the human to bring their unequivocal ability to express the wisdom of natural law, which is pure harmony. To do this we must take into consideration all those involved (dog and human) in a loving way that offers a purpose and an evolutionary pathway for all.
Or said as such:
Authority is moving what we already know to be true.
Which Session or Class works best, for you and your dog?
All sessions and classes are designed to help your dog be the best dog it can… not the most obedient, not the smartest, not the most perfect but the most awesome dog that it has been designed to be.
Face-to-face and online
Face-to-face sessions are perfect for addressing and focussing on the issue or issues you are experiencing with your dog/s. However this can also be addressed online if you live out of the Northern Rivers region so don’t be shy of contacting Deb if you have any questions about the issues you are facing and online sessions.
Two Dogs
Please be mindful that it is best when working with two dogs in the face to face sessions, to have two humans to wrangle them separately.
This way it maximises focus.
Groups and Families
Booking a session for all the family, or for everyone who lives in the house, is always the ultimate in supporting the dog to be a harmonious member of the household.
Each person in the household has their own unique relationship with the dog/s and this does not adversely affect the dog in any way.
These sessions support you to understand the roles we all play in creating a harmonious household.
The Joy of Obedience
The Joy of Obedience classes are designed for training the dog and the human, but also they support with behavioural issues if your dog is generally ‘loose’, nervous around other dogs, overly dominant or anxious.
