Once this has progressed, seniors will start to forget even some basic abilities such as eating, writing, and more.

Caring for the victims of this disease is very hard on the loved ones involved. It is a very stressful endeavor. People caring for Alzheimer victims usually don’t know how to treat and take care of the patients, which causes even more stress.

Training Animals Is All About Relationship!

We humans have so many different ideas and beliefs when it comes to animal training. There are the old school methods, which recognises that us humans are far better than animals. This way can be aggressive as the animal must do as they are told.

Then we have the I will let my dog or horse do as he or she pleases and its OK if they misbehave because I love them so much.

What happens between these two examples is what makes up the many training methods out there. So what is the right approach that suits both the animals and the humans needs?

Looking at the two opposites, what can we see regarding the animals emotional welfare.

This hard approach has the animal responding through a fear aspect. They will do what is being asked in the fear of the consequence of not doing it. You can clearly see this in the repressed overly submissive behaviour.

When we train horses in this way they are not relaxed and their movement is jumpy, there minds are far too busy thinking of what might go wrong to be able to full concentrate on what is being asked.

Now lets look at the opposite, here is an animal with way too much responsibility. The person is not teaching the animal and this produces a lack of confidence. Dogs with no guidance can become fearful and even over protective. In extreme cases they resort to aggression because they literally don’t know any other way forward.

This animal is also racing in their minds producing too much emotion to find their own confidence.

Below is a video showing a balanced way to help animals find peace of mind. This creates trust between the animal and the human and develops a meaningful relationship.

The special balance needed between an animal and a human is developed through trust. Then the dominant ways are completely pointless as there is a far stronger relationship. This moves the focus from telling the animal to truly teaching the animal.

When you are trust worthy in the eyes of your animal then they naturally listen to you for guidance and are ready to learn.

Animal training is making a huge shift forward by a small majority of dog trainers and horses trainers that are here to show another way. It is not the animals that need to change, it is us!

Animal Communication 6 Steps To making It Work

Monday 17 August 2009 @ 8:41 pm
by James French

Animal Communication allows a human to share detailed information with any animal. Because our animals use feelings and not words, animal communication is the ability to tune into the feelings and discover how are animals think and feel both on physical and emotional levels.

Below are 6 easy to follow step, so that you can understand how this heart felt communication can work between you and any animal.

1 You have to believe it!

Unfortunately when you question things in your mind then your mind and feeling become busy with your own thinking and this can easily stop you form even giving it a go.

2 Still your mind

when your mind is busy it is producing many thoughts and feelings. This activity will get in the way of you being able to share the feeling of the animal. As our attention will be in our mind and not theirs.

3 Focus you attention on the animal

Animal communication it is all about unity, you literally place your feeling attention with the animal and at that point your feelings become one. Your attention must be with the animal with no thoughts about your self.

4 You need to ask questions

When your attention is full with the animal at this point on some level your will be connected to all the information that this animal has to share. But all this information would be totally overwhelming for us to handle so most of this information is held with in your subconscious mind. We have to ask questions to bring that info to our conscious mind. Think of it like a filter you ask a question and that particular info is filtered through.

5 Know what it is that you will be picking up

The feelings are picked up and translated by your mind automatically. These in turn are translated in a way that will make sense to you. It may be that your mind gives you an image, sound, touch, smell or taste that is relative to the feeling of the animal. These senses are subtle and are more like memories.

6 Keep the information clear

Do not change any of the information you receive by adding extra thinking to it. Keep it exactly as you imagined it at the time of communication and your communication will be very accurate.

Animal communication is a very natural way to share understanding with each other. It enhances your relationship dramatically with the animal around you and is worth exploring if you care about animals. If there are any questions you would like answered please feel free to contact us.

How to Find the Perfect Pet Dog

by Amarea Fulkakis

Did you grow up without ever owning a lovable pooch because your parents are very strict with regards to the cleanliness in your household? Did they make you feel that having dogs can lead to a messy living space? Well, if that’s the case, you surely lost a lot of experiences that could have made you into a much better individual. If you are a parent right now and you don’t want the same thing to happen to your little kids, get a pet dog that will be their trustworthy companion as they face the challenges of life.

You have to mull over a lot of things when deciding to buy a pet from the veterinarian. You must take into consideration the other occupants in your house, the size of your living abode as well as the garden, the dog’s breed and the maintenance price that you might possibly shoulder.

This write up will enumerate the reasons for each consideration in detail. Read on and may you will be greatly aided as you commence your search for the perfect dog.

If you are a single guy or girl, then you won’t have to think of other people’s opinions about what dog to get. However, if you have a wife or kids, that’s a different matter altogether. Their opinions should be factored in so that you can make the best choice for the whole family. They can help you see clearly all the advantages and disadvantages of getting a particular dog. Collaborate with them in a harmonious manner.

Second, the size of your house and yard must be assessed. If you have a small place, a small dog should be your pet. They do not require a humongous place to play around in. If you provide them with a small dog house, they won’t complain. This is not the case for guard dogs. They want a huge area where they can run and play to their heart’s content. If they can’t stretch their lean limbs and torso every single day, they will feel bad and get depressed. This would cause mayhem because they may throw temper tantrums. You don’t want this to happen, right? Therefore, be wise enough to know what is good for your dog.

Third, the breed should be another important detail that requires a thorough planning. The needs of each breed vary. Therefore, try to match one that has a temperament close to yours. Cute dogs like a Japanese Spitz, a poodle, a Yorkshire terrier and a pug are very playful. They need someone with an enthusiastic attitude so that they will have a great time fooling around. On the other hand, a German shepherd, Pit-bull and Rottweiler need to have a strong and commanding owner because they grow up to be big dogs with fierce attitude. In order to control them, they should be trained early on to spot the enemy from friends. If you can’t even learn how to take control even if they are still in their early years, your dog will sense it and will not respect or obey you.

Fourth, if you have a limited amount of money for the dog’s upkeep, get one that is not a burden to the pocket. This means saying no to cute and furry animals that need weekly grooming care and monthly visit to the vet. Others, like the Siberian husky, need an extremely cold location in order to thrive. If you think you can’t keep up with the increase in your electric bill for his air conditioning needs, forget his kind.

There is no need to rush when getting a pet dog. Patience is a virtue in this case. Since you will be together for a long time, it pays to get the perfect pooch.
