What I see both in my home and with others, is that most will not invest the time to ensure the dog SHIFTs to a calmer or avoidance energy. I am working with a blue heeler this week, that I suddenly figured out that this has turned into a kind of game for her...she goes after the dogs sleeping on the bed nipping and barking. I stop what I am doing on the computer to "claim the space" (Hoss and Greta) and the dogs. Very effective solution, (thank you Cesar, for THAT lesson last year).

Then almost the moment I sit down again, she is back at it - on the other side.

Since I am working on Cesar's admonishment to use the lowest energy possible while still meeting energy with energy, I hold the space and intent until she turns away! (Sigh) being eager to get back to my work, I realized the moment she turned and walked away, I did too! So this time I actually held the space for what seemed to be a much longer endless time (was actually just a couple of minutes being still and quiet doesnt come easy to me) until she actually wenat and laid down or left the space entirely - and suddenly the behavior is changed!

I am thinking that this summer would be a good time for me to practice sitting and being quiet with intent. I know Dr Wayne Dyer whom Cesar speaks so highly of has a good CD for meditation that might help me learn how to do this being still/holding intent with energy without falling asleep! I have to say though that thses teachings of Cesar about using energy to direct the dogs with my intending, without even needing to even touch the dog, has been the most fabulous way of woking with dogs that I have learned at this next level of skill!

This episode could not have come at a better time! I thank you repeatedly! We recently attempted to rescue our first dog ( a pit mix ) that my partner was not completely on board with adopting. The energy he gave to the dog affected not only her behavior but our older dog's behavior as well. The trust issue between dog and human was almost palpable. I was not afraid of this animal who I bonded with immediately. I was able to begin training her instantly ( sit, walking on a leash, stay, fetch, you name it ), she did not respond in the same manner to my boyfriend. Though she seemed to welcome him at the shelter, she felt his negative energy when she was brought into our home. She walked with her tail low around him, and ran from him with treats. My older dog also attacked the rescue dog, resulting in his brother gettting bit ( just like the couple on the show! )

Of course, it was the rescue dog's fault though clearly my older dog instigated the attack. Though I learned much from analyzing where we went wrong I am unsure if I can convince him that rescuing is the way to go. Wish me luck and thanks again for the enlightening episode that was like watching my life on television!!!!

Thank you Dog Whisperer!!!!

I have been through quite a lot in recent years and my dog has begun using inside our home as her toilet grounds much like a toddler with regressive toilet behavior! She's a five year old dachsund with a friendly disposition except for this very antisocial behavior. I have completely failed in communicating to Jewels that outside is the place. She will evacuate on our walks and I also have a place in the yard where she can be on a yard leash because our yard is unfenced. However, no matter the length of the walk or the time outside, she will come in and still leave urine on the carpet.
Please help. I just am at my wit's end as to how to appropriately correct this behavior!
