With this new mindset I went back and looked again what happens in the interactions when a DRP is being applied. Firstly, the owner is told that the dog is "trying to take over". This sets the war metaphor in place and reframes the owner’s experiences in that light – the dog coming up with a toy is not just wanting to play, but it is in fact a part of a long term, devious strategy to grab all the power and become the Hitler of the household.
In our last unit, we talked about what happens in medical interventions when war metaphors are applied, and we had an experience of accepting the problem unconditionally in the "becoming the vortex" exercise. Do please note that the vortex is the same vortex, but as we change our perspective or frame of reference from war to understanding, we receive a rush of new insights and the universe expands all of a sudden.
In DRP interventions, the relationship universe contracts as the dog becomes the enemy. You contract it too much and you will reduce the possibility of incidences of "good energy exchanges" to the point where the creature in question experiences such a shortfall of this essential energy (and make no mistake, it is absolutely essential and systemically built into any species that forms relationships, no matter how rudimentary, with others of its kind) that a systemic collapse occurs and the relationship simply dies. It is this shortfall of essential energy that drives behaviour disturbances, stress related illness and in the end, systemic shutdown and death.

The Harmony Program - Energy Healing For Animals
In 1993, I was working as an animal behaviour specialist and had been doing so for the preceding 12 years. At this time, I was at the top end of the referral chain and worked closely with John Fisher and a number of other behaviour specialist to create new approaches and paradigms in the face of ever growing numbers of companion animals with severe behaviour problems.
We had by that time already developed major breakthroughs, such as the role of allergic responses to food in particular which caused severe and otherwise inexplicable behaviour problems; most notably the overfeeding of digestible proteins to under exercised pet dogs, causing hyperactivity and numerous other kinds of problems, but also responses to various other additives, colorants and flavourings in many other species and including zoo and farm animals.
John Fisher was working particularly with the so called "Dominance Reduction Programmes" for dogs, and if you are not interested in dogs or don’t like them much, I would suggest you still listen carefully because this is centrally important and the key points are beautifully portrayed in the problems of dog owners and the Dominance Reduction Programmes or DRPs for short.
Trying to take a "scientific" approach to the problems of disobedience and behaviour problems in companion (pet, house kept) dogs across the breeds, it was decided at some time to try and copy the visible behavioural strategies that naturally exist in a wolf packor in a pack of laboratory beagles, and have the human parts of the "pack" play the role of the "alpha male" by copying what "alpha males do" – the idea being that you "speak alanguage that an animal might understand that is too neurologically limited to understand in any other way."
The owner was advised to "take charge" of all forms of interaction with the companion dog and to create a "power gradient" through a brick-by-brick approach that would clearly show the dog in question who was the ruler, the leader, the confident "alpha dog in the human pack".
The areas where this charge was taken were global and comprehensive and extended over the following:
All forms of social interaction. The dog was not responded to unless it first "submitted" in some form - if it would come to the owner for attention, for example, it would have to go through an obedience ritual first before it was stroked. It was purposefully ignored in preference of other creatures/humans in the house upon greeting, and in many other contexts.
Power Games in movements and exercise. In "the wild" (what wild!) it is held that "the Alpha dog goes first" – gets the food first, leads the pack on the hunt, gets every bone byrights and enforces this entirely, does everything first. There is a famous picture that at that time just about every animal behaviourist had on their walls – of a wolf pack in thearctic in single file with the Alpha male up front, in strict hierarchy, and not one of these 20 wolves put a paw out of line ever as the snow trail behind them testifies.
Power Games in food and feeding. Once again, the owner would eat first – if only demonstratively, a biscuit whilst the dog was waiting to be fed, and the dog would have to wait for permission from the owner before it was allowed to eat. Shock devices such as the so called "dog training discs" or the more old fashioned (and cheaper) version of "two stones in a coke can" would be used in set ups, like having food in the centre of the floor, to "negatively condition" the dog to the fact that all food belongs to the owner, the shock device replacing the shock of an Alpha male flying out, teeth bared, to protect their bone "in the wild".
Physical/spatial power games such as forcing one’s way through a doorway ahead of a dog, up and down the stairs, making the dog get up and move out of one’s way deliberately numerous times a day, forbidding "privileged" resting places such as beds, arm chairs, power hot spots such as thresholds and landings, "taking the dog’s bed" bysitting or standing in it just to show the dog "that you can", ensuring the dog walking behind the owner as a pack member would follow the alpha leader and so forth.
As time went on, the DRPs became ever more specific and watertight as the power divergence between dog and owner was extended into virtually every waking moment of their lives together. And the results at that time seemed near miraculous. Dogs started to pay attention to the owners, became more "obedient", pulled on the lead less and it is true, we really thought we had cracked it as far as dog behaviour was concerned.
In the spring of 1993, two things happened that began to erode my confidence in DRPs and gave me a severe headache at the time. The first of these was that I was seeing a number of dogs and their owners with extreme problems that had not become better as the result of applying DRPs, but were getting ever worse.
I must admit to having fallen prey myself to the unhelpful human behaviour of "if at first you don’t succeed, try harder". DRPs worked, right? The owners were just not doing them hard enough! The effect of tightening up on the DRPs further and further was appalling. One dog in particular and one who, it could be said, gave her life for us all and me in particular at that time, was a Doberman bitch by the name of Bridget. When we started, she had some mild moments of general disobedience in an otherwise loving relationship with her female owner. After 3 months on the DRP, she was a ravening mad beast who turned and tore apart an old cat she had played with happily her entire life and the owner had her put to sleep on the spot.
That is when I stopped dead and knew something was terribly wrong. I closed my behaviour counselling practise and turned with a passion to finding out just what had happened and to investigate the whole DRP situation from a new standpoint. And then the second piece of evidence came to me. Previously, I had been involved in setting up a long term study of the effects of DRPs on the dog/s and owner/s – in order to have scientific back up data on how good they were and how useful.
As the questionnaires came back from the owners who had undergone these miraculous changes for the better two years ago it became blatantly apparent that many dogs had become worse and Bridget had not been the only example of this at all; that many owners had stopped using the DRP strategies within days of the consultation and the old original problems had never been resolved at all; and that many more dogs developed behaviour problems of a different kind as well as the original presenting ones.
This rang a bell and I looked up a similar study conducted by an American animal behaviour team in the 70’s, a husband and wife – Hart & Hart. Their study had been conducted before the onset of DRPs and their popularity, and it mirrored mine quite perfectly apart from one detail – the statistics of dogs becoming much worse were absent. At this time I was also beginning the study of NLP and this incredible modality suggests that one should model excellence in order to know how to design trainings and strategies to re-create excellence in others.
When I looked carefully at people who I regarded as having an "excellent" relationship with their companion animals and including myself, I realised with astonishment that we were NOT applying any DRP strategies at all with our own creatures. Our relationships were NOT that of human wolves within a pack.
What we were doing was inherently and absolutely different. Instead of turning ourselves into wolves, we remained human and endeavoured to teach our creatures the ways of human communication. Instead of waging war with our animals, we were co-operating with them from a base line of mutual respect and understanding. And then one day, it hit me like a ton of bricks what it was that was so completely overlooked in scientific animal behaviour and yet so glaringly on display if only one would open one’s eyes as THE major factor of successful companion animal relationships:
Love.
With my heart beating high, I went through the many books on animal behaviour and especially, companion animal behaviour and I could not find that word in a single one of them at the time. It was an absolute revelation to me that opened my eyes to the universe as it really was in a heartbeat and probably changed me more than any other experience I have had on this plane.

It was an absolute revelation to me that opened my eyes to the universe as it really was in a heartbeat and probably changed me more than any other experience I have had on this plane.
What exactly is Love?
Right from the start, I was well aware that what I meant by "love" was not some kind of mushy, fluffy pink behaviour that results in putting knitted jackets on Alaskan Malamutes because "it makes him look so cute".
It was some kind of energy form that existed naturally between an owner and an animal and that was a major driver for otherwise completely inexplicable behaviours. Why, I ask you, why if this did not exist, could it possibly be explained that a seventy year old arthritic tiny lady can walk with that massive, uncastrated GSD by her side who obeys her and makes sure the lead stays loose as not to hurt her? She’s not dominating him, she’s not even hormonally targettable as an "alpha female" any more. She is asking him nicely if he would mind sitting there for a while whilst she goes into a shop and he says yes.
What is that? That is not and never, "dog eat dog" scientific laboratory beagle behaviour. This is a fully formed, deeply bonded, highly interactive, mature relationship between two entirely sentient beings who are trying to co-operate as best they can. Those two look at each other and something passes between them – and this something is not a result of training or communication, but the baseline for any of it in the first place.
An energetic connection of the highest order that will remain even through extreme suffering, that is at some level beyond reproach and quite regardless of either creature’s limitations. We can call it what we like, but it sure looks like "love" to me.
Energy Healing For Animals Intro
CoCo the blogging dog would like to post a series Energy Healing For Animals articles. They are designed to create a higher level of understanding between people and dogs. This information is designed for people interested in behavior modification for so called problem dogs. This is not the same old information you find everywhere. In fact it will most likely conflict with what you think you know. Get ready, because for the next 12 days or so we will be presenting the Energy Healing For Animals series!

Freshies - The Supreme Green Bone From China!
Freshies are made in China, but I like to eat them anyway. I guess I am just a daredevil dog that likes to live on the edge. Surprisingly, they are soo good! Freshies are a dental dog bone for dogs. They keep my teeth white and pearly. The ingredients are chicken breast fillet, soy protein isolate, glycerin, rice protein, gelatin, water, natural flavoring, calcium carbonate, cultured whey protein and chlorophyll. Freshies don't make me throw up like beggin strips. They have a big sticker on the package that says, "WHEAT FREE". That sticker might as well say, "Poisonous Chinese Wheat Gluten Free". This sticker is to say that Freshies won't poison you like the last time.

Aquarius dog personality
Aquarius Dogs were born between January 21 - February 19. Aquarius dogs are down to earth. They just want their basic needs taken care of and do not wish to be pampered. Many Aquarius Dogs will even refuse to wear cute dog clothes! That's OK, they just don't like all the fluff. Aquarius dogs are intelligent, original, unique, honest and loyal. They are known for being very outspoken, and will not hesitate to bark at the neighbor if they walk past your gate. Aquarius dogs are highly imaginative, and will often stare at empty spaces pretending as if they see someone.

Libra dog personality
Libra Dog's were born between September 24 - October 23. Do you remember the cartoon with the romantic skunk, Pepe Le Pew? He used to chase Penelope Pussycat around because he is French, and he loves to love!!! I have strong suspicions that Pepe was a Libra. Libra dogs are sweet and charming. Libra dogs love peace and just want attention and to be loved. They have strong diplomacy skills and enjoy making others happy. Libra dogs may be the most sociable of any astrological sign.

Gemini dog personality
Gemini dogs are the smartest dogs ever!!! I am a gemini, I was born on May 24th. If you were born between May 22 - June 21, you are a gemini dog. Gemini dogs have strong communication skills and don't mind barking about it. We are communicative, funny, intelligent, playful and energetic! In my immediate family, they know that these traits describe me absolutely! However, I am a different dog when I get around strangers. You see, another Gemini trait is at times being nervous and tense. These traits only manifest themselves when I am around strangers. Therefore, strangers never really understand the true CoCo. They just think that I am the dog that likes to growl. But I don't really like to growl, it's just that they are making me nervous. Silly humans. Grrr, Go Geminis! Yay!!

Making a mockery of dogs with funny clothes
We had a complaint regarding, this post. It has dog wedding vows. In addition, it has a dog in a wedding dress and dog wearing a tuxedo. The complaint was that making a dog wear funny clothes is making a mockery out of dogs. The point of view is, how can anyone have respect for their dog if they dress him up funny? After consideration, I have realized they have a valid point. What self respecting dog is into wearing tuxedos anyway? He probably just wanted to roll around in the grass. From now on, CoCo the Blogging Dog will only show respectful images of dogs. A dog tuxedo is a mockery of dogs everywhere! A dog sweater is not a mockery however, because it is cozy and warm...

The Canine 10 Commandments
The Canine 10 Commandments
1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that when you buy me.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me - it's crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry at me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I have only you.
5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to me.
6. Be aware, however you treat me, I'll never forget.
7. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but that I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, or I've been out in the sun or in the cold too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I get old. You too, will grow old someday.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say: "I can't bear to watch it", "Let it happen in my absence" or "I am tired of you". Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember I Love You.

You're almost as good as your dog
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can get going without pep pills,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you, when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color or politics,
Then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog.

Dog Hoarding Dog Lovers
Dog lovers take good care of their dogs. They keep the home fairly clean, provide adequate attention, nutrition, and veterinary care. Sometimes dog lovers become dog hoarders. This happens when dog lovers take in more dogs than they are able to care for. On the news, they had a story about a man with 330 dogs. He is cited with animal abuse for hoarding dogs. If he had a large mansion and a full time staff attending to the dogs needs, he would be considered an eccentric dog lover. That was not the case. They discovered sick dogs in desperate need of medical care, dogs starving and a layer of dog feces on the floor. That makes him a dog hoarder. That is the main difference between a dog hoarder and a dog lover. I have been reading too many of these stories lately. There is another one about a woman who had 52 dogs in a small mobile home. The neighbors complained about the smell. Upon investigation, they confiscated all of her dogs. The floor was covered in feces. The dogs had never been brushed and were covered in mats and feces. Twelve of the dogs had to be put down. It is strange. Sometimes dog lovers that start off wanting to help dogs, can become the biggest dog abusers of all. It is better to give one dog a good life, than 20 dogs a bad life.

Make stuff from dog hair
I am fortunate. Please don't hate me because I'm beautiful. As a Pomeranian dog, I understand that I will always be better than the average dog. Every time that I am brushed, my dog hair cannot be thrown away. Instead, my dog hair will be used to knit and felt. If you are good looking like I am, do not throw away your dog hair! It is valuable. You can make things like dog collars, scarfs and coats. You can make your dog hair into felt or knit it. To make dog hair into felt it is easy in a few simple steps. Place it in a layer, pour soapy water on it, roll it back and forth and then let it dry. If you want to see more details with pictures, check out the felting dog!
If you would like to make dog yarn, I found these instructions on Wiki.
1. Identify if the dog fur is appropriate. Your dog's fur must be at least two inches long, be clean and umatted. Dog fur from 1-2 inches long must be mixed in with wool. Any fur under 1 inch should be discarded as it will shed far too much.
2. Save dog fur from brushings. Some areas of the dog may have little under coat and mainly guard hair. These areas probably don't need to be bothered saving. Separate the thicker and tougher guard hairs from the soft cotton-like undercoat. Clippings, if used, should be sorted through the guard hairs and the undercoat. Only save the soft undercoat.
3. Card your dog fur.
Learn to finger spin. Take some fur in one hand and take a small piece of it with another hand and twist. Keep a firm grip and don't let it untwist. Keep twisting and it will soon turn to yarn. Spin about one and a half yards and keep it for the next step.
4. Learn to use a drop spindle, which will enable you to make yarn much faster.
5. Finish and deodorize your dog yarn.
6. Find things to make with your dog yarn. Mittens, socks, hats, even sweaters if you live somewhere cold enough. Learn to knit.
7. Send all the cool stuff you make to CoCo the Blogging Dog!!!

Cosmetic Testicle Implants for Dogs
Thinking of getting neutered, but worried about what your dog friends might say? It can be embarrassing going through life with no testicles. No worries, many veterinarians are now offering cosmetic testicle implants for dogs. "Neuticles It's like nothing ever changed! Allowing your pet to retain his natural look, self esteem and aids in the trauma associated with neutering." They have them in sizes of petite, xsmall, small, medium and large. I would probably super size it and get the extra extra large ones. I'm just cool like that.

Britney Spears Named Worst Celebrity Dog Owner
Britney Spears named worst celebrity dog owner! Here is a funny song about Britney:
Britney draws paparazzi - just like fli-i-i-i-ies (Tsetse flies)
They all hang around - like her white trash guy-y-y-y-ys (Bad rapper guys)
Most her pix are boring, so I stay away (Far away)
But she's got - a dog she likes to put on displa-a-a-a-ay (Public display)
You know, Miss Manners always said - that it's rude to stare
But lookie there - that POOCH AIN'T GOT NO HAIR
Britney's dog is on my photoblog
I've got the shots - and there's quite a catalog
Britney can't you see - your Chihuahua's broken free?
You all should read my blog 'cause

Lindsay's dog is on my photoblog
Lindsay's dog is on my photoblog
[Clap clap clap]
Paris waggles her puppy everywhere she goes (Clubs and shows)
She learned that trick - from her fellow ho-o-o-o-os (Rich brat hos)
There's no need for talent if you flash your smile (Dog and smile)
Pose for show-dog mags - my favorite one's Doggy Sty-y-y-y-yle (Doggy Style)
And I guess exploiting mutts must not be a crime
'Cause Paris shows her mongrel off - ALL THE FREAKING TIME
Britney's dog is on my photoblog (My doggy-walkin' blog)
The nasty thing - probably should be outlawed (Test it for rabies)
Britney's little beast has been running 'round unleashed
I know it might be wrong -
But I've posted (Britney's dog - ah-ah-ah-ah)
All the pix of (Britney's dog - ah-ah-ah-ah)

Dog shoots man on hunting trip
I must be a very sick dog, but this story made me laugh. This hunter takes his dog out hunting. The hunter shoots a bird, and the dog doesn't feel like fetching it. So the hunter puts his gun down, and walks away to fetch the bird. The dog walks behind him and steps on the gun. The dog pulls the trigger and releases 120 birdshot pellets into the hunters leg. According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, this is not uncommon. They have had many incidents of dogs shooting hunters. The hunters should leave us at home. It is too cold out there. If I wanted to be in the wilderness, I would not have domesticated myself. So go on out there. Play GI Joe or whatever it is you do. Leave me at home curled up on the bed with a bag of beggin strips. We will both be better off that way. Thanks.
