I am always fascinated by new developments in training, but I forget sometimes the most effective methods....
Children are a wonderful example of the state of mind you need to carry around animals. I have always been attracted to dog among other animals that developed to work with humans such as horses, and I feel that the connection is always there inside of everyone. Connecting with that instinctual knowledge is the first step in forming more then a training relationship. Children are fascinating to watch with animals they go in with a open mind, no lies or previous conceptions and animals respond.
When you go in to work with your dog you need to remove all conceptions and worries because they respond to that kind of energy. I forget what the important thing is when I go to work with my dogs its not always me helping them but us working together in a mutual relationship for the pleasure of just working together.
For those that enjoy horses this is a eye opening video if you go in with an open mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQUMAJCh1fA
