      How to Calm and Tame Your Dog Naturally! - Katya of KATYADOGSROCK

      INTRODUCTION

      LET’S GET WILD!

      My name is Katya. I live for Rock and Roll, and DOGS! DOGS ROCK! I am a rock musician/singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles. I am also a true animal lover whose family came from Russia. I come from a long line of musicians, artists, and animal trainers, who were constantly taking in injured animals. Birds, cats, dogs, rabbits and even rats were rescued by my family and brought back to health. These animals grew to respect us because we saved their lives. We didn’t do it BY THE BOOK; we tamed and trained animals from the heart to reach their souls.

      Consider this book an easy guide to naturally calming and taming your dog. I like to speak English to my dogs, I like to use body language, and I like to re-create the wild, if possible. I believe you can achieve a loving relationship with any animal without the use of shock collars, harsh commands or choke chains.

      In the wild, one dog is the leader of the pack. This alpha animal uses no words; he SHOWS the pack what he wants done. Similarly, your dog must come to see you as PACK LEADER. A pack leader shows respect and kindness, NOT anger. Wisdom is one of his biggest traits because the entire pack grows to respect him and wants to listen. Think about one of the kindest teachers you had growing up in school. That is how you want your dog to feel about you. Nobody likes a nagging boss or spouse. Learning can be fun. Trust me, I don’t allow brats in my class, but I also make learning so much fun that my dogs want to please me. Plus I serve the best meat in town!

      A dog mainly uses his nose and eyes to survive and communicate in the wild. Consequently, he finds verbal commands boring and usually doesn’t respond well. A dog prefers to be SHOWN what to do.

      If you speak your dog’s language, you will win his respect and he’ll want to please you. He’ll be more relaxed and happy. So please leave your verbal commands for humans and LET’S GET WILD!

      CHAPTER 1

      SADDLING UP THE PONY

      PACK LEADER, GET READY TO SADDLE YOUR PONY! But Katya, you say, I want you to train my dog! Of course, but this is a HOW TO BOOK. If you hire a nanny who takes care of your child and provides love and discipline for your child, more than likely, the child will be well behaved. When the child is in the care of the parents, what happens if they do not use the nanny’s skills? The child misbehaves. Dogs are no different than children; there is no mystery to training dogs. Most people expect to send their dog away to be trained, and then they expect a robot to return that obeys every command. That is a nice theory, but it is not reality. Dogs need to be reminded, constantly what not to do. They need school and they need help with their homework, just as children do.

      This book is about making life style changes for you and your dog. I hope to end the mental disconnection people tend to have with their dogs. It is so important to a dog to be a member of the family, a pack member. I use tips on how we raise our children and apply those same principles to the way we raise our dogs. I treat dogs as family members, but with special animal rules.

      Bonding with your dog develops a deep connection between the two of you. Dogs are visual and need to be SHOWN what to do. The magic is in the leash, so put it on! This is the umbilical cord that will help connect you to your dog on a deep level.

      Think about a bucking bronco. Cowboys use a rope, a halter and a saddle to calm a horse; I use the same philosophy with dogs. Soft cloth walking gear on his body can relax a dog’s ears, neck, jaw, back, and base of the tail. Walking gear actually makes him feel calm and relaxed. So let’s go over walking gear, because in the next chapter, you will be walking your dog.

      I WANT THESE THREE THINGS TO HAPPEN FOR YOUR DOG! THIS IS THE WAY TO CALM AND TAME!

      1) I want your dog to pant.

      2) I want your dog to yawn.

      3) I want your dog to relax and enjoy life.

      By jumping right into your leash work, you will achieve a better behaved dog, so put that walking gear on and let’s get started!

      EXPLANATION OF WALKING GEAR:

      (1) A NO-SLIP COLLAR

      I like this collar because it gently tethers the neck. It can not slip off your dog’s neck accidentally because it has no buckle or clip. If your dog pulls on the leash the collar will automatically tighten gently around your dog’s neck.

      (2) A 6-FOOT BY 1-INCH LEASH

      I prefer hemp or leather. They give you more control on the walk. A sturdy leash will give you a steady dog. A flimsy or retractable leash makes your dog walk like a kite in the wind.

      (3) A GENTLE LEADER
