- Humans have a need to be loved, accepted, and belong. Canines can fill that need, but many humans require help in developing relationships with dogs.
- The benefits of a human-canine relationship, to humans, are biopsychoscocial.
- I found understanding cultural diversity and being able to assess the need for the relationship is important in helping humans develop relationships with dogs. I use the MONASH dog scale to help determine the motive.
- I learned the knowledge of human psychology is important when teaching dog psychology to humans.
- The benefits of a relationship with dogs must outweigh, or be equal to, the cost in order for it to be successful. In other words, the dogs need to be obedient and compliant.
- Determining the drives and motivators of dogs is a must when teaching people to train their dogs.
- I use a psychological test for dogs, developed my Jack and Wendy Volhard, to understand the dogs drives, instincts, and motivators.
- Obedience classes help alleviate abandonment and relinquishment of dogs.
- Competitive dog sports help ensure successful relationships.
- Judging validates the success of the human-canine relationships.
