new behaviors that meet your dog's needs.
Two dogs may have the same behavior, for different reasons.
That's why "stopping" a behavior by using something scary, painful or uncomfortable to the dog, may miss the reason the behavior was happening in the first place.
If we pay attention and think about the behavior from our dogs perspective, we may discover, that there IS a reason to bark.
Maybe our dog needed water.
In that case, we have something different to do all-together.
-
Tell our neighbor their chimney's on fire.
-
Call the police about the child being hurt.
-
Bring our package in.
-
Put up a sign that says "no trespassing".
-
Give the dog some water, shade and shelter from the rain.
Behavior changes when
needs are met.
So... what are my dog's "needs"?
Needs, from Brainy Dog's perspective, are not just about survival.
Needs are about balancing our dog's (and our own) internal life values.
If a life value is lacking, it can show up as unwanted behaviors in our dog.
Pretty much the same idea with humans. As an example, let's say I'm barking (yelling) a lot, I may need more Peace, or Trust or Respect or Freedom. Or I maybe I just need to slow down on my sugar intake. In my Values Filtered Philosophy, I put basic needs such as nutrition under the value of Respect.
It's the thought or the need before the action happens that I'm interested in.
You know, your dog's personality, as an individual, better than anyone.
Think from your heart.
Pick one value that in general, your dog would like more of. Just choose one for now.
Love?

Peace?
Respect?
Trust?
Understanding?
Freedom?
Happiness?

may be caused by something else, still, first, balancing, overall life values, from Brainy Dog's perspective is a good place to start.
We will definitely look at all possible causes including those such as medical issues, pain, trauma and basic needs. These are some of the needs, Brainy Dog categorizes under the value of Respect. Make sure basic needs are met before doing anything.
Thinking in values, instead of thinking about how to stop a behavior, helps our brains transition from what we want our dog to stop doing, to what we want our dog to start doing, based on what our dog needs.
I believe thinking in values, initiates the creativity needed in our mind to step away from the idea of controlling our dog, to the idea of supporting our dog as a conscious being.
We've all said it. "Dogs are smarter than we think".
Thinking in values is one way to process their level of intelligence.
Does that make sense?
