It's not easy to summarize our work with Melanie because there are so many important and great things that are worth mentioning.
We came across Melanie with our wolfhound in February. We are well aware that we already have a special breed, but we also have a central dog.
We were already familiar with the different pack positions, but together with Melanie we have intensified them.
What did we learn? An incredible amount. The beginning was exciting, where we were instructed not to pay attention to our dogs, not to pet them and, above all, not to talk to them. The resulting changes were already super interesting.
We were able to learn what is important, especially to dogs. We got to know how dogs communicate - their body language. But it actually goes far beyond that.
We learned a lot about relationships between people, between dogs and people and between dogs.
What does a lead dog actually do? What is a lead dog?
How can I cooperate with a lead dog? How can I use my body language to communicate to the dog that I am very capable of leading the pack?
There were answers to all these questions and many more.
It was great that we were able to share lots of videos of situations, which we were then given assessments of in order to learn what really happens in these situations.
Finally, we feel we understand our dogs much better. We speak the dogs' language and can assess many situations much better. Especially those that are far too stressful for our central dog. Where we previously thought that the dog just had to get through it, we now recognize their limits and can take them into consideration.
As many of the lessons also gave us the opportunity to develop ourselves further, we were given a lot of great tools to harmonize the coexistence in our pack.
It is also great that we have already been able to use the knowledge we have learned to help others with certain challenges.
Anyone who wants to understand themselves and their relationship with their dog should contact Melanie for an initial consultation and the course.
"You never get the dog you want, you always get the dog you need."
Our dogs constantly mirror us and help us back on our soul path.
