Idaho K9 Institute
Where Dogs Speak and People Listen
Nature’s K9 Language
Every other dog school focuses on the dog responding to the Handler. IdahoK9 Institute focuses on teaching the Handler to listen to the dog.
Idaho K9 Institute engages the dog’s mind and heart. We do not use clickers, treats, prong collars, or e-collars. We read the dog’s body language and speak Nature’s K9 Language! This language is communicated through pressure-release body cues of both Handler and dog that espouse spatial authority. True communication requires both Dog and Handler fluency in foreign language. The Dog works to understand English and the Handler understands Nature’s K9 Language.
IdahoK9 Institute creates a positive learning environment in which Handlers and dogs excel. Our expert Instructors teach you to read the dog’s body language and his cues. This is the basis of K9/Handler communication. From this point you will anticipate dogs’ body movement and focus on what the dog is expressing. Once this is accomplished, finite timing of soft pressure is taught. This soft pressure technique allows the dog to make his decision for success; it also allows the dog to learn from his choice and his ideas. Our training method is never based on force. Force is physical in nature; Nature’s K9 Language engages mind and heart. This is a beautiful thing that once learned becomes effortless dual communication.
The first step to this learning process is to work with a Master Dog whom is fluent in both English and Nature’s K9 Language. This teaches you how it feels to work with a dog as a teammate. Once you become fluent in Nature’s K9 Language, you have the opportunity to work with Broken Circle Stock Dogs and help our Intermediate and Novice 2nd Phase Rescue dogs get set up for success. 😊
