Wolf Myth vs Domestic Dogs

​Did you know there is no link between the Modern Wolf and the Dog? This is because any form of the Wolf that the Dog was related to in Asia pre ice age, became extinct. Then several new forms of Wolf came about across the globe. The earliest Dog skull dates back to 27,000 years ago! Scientists concluded that the first ever Dog jaw found is of an entirely different structure to the Wolf jaw and doesn't match any Wolf jaw from the same era or since. The theory of "Packs" comes from wait... not immediately Ceaser Milan but before him in the 70s people called the Monks of New Skete in the same era as Barbara Woodhouse. Both parties came up with rough and unpleasant ways to train Dogs but the Monks of New Skete came up with this theory that Dogs are pack animals like Wolves. Becuase there was no scientific findings like there is now. People just went along with them. How could they be wrong? There was even less channels on TV back then. So then by word of mouth and Trainers people then kept repeating this theory. Then in the millennium Ceaser Milan comes along and reinforces this to the next generations. But believing in this theory can be dangerous. In believing that Dogs are pack animals when they aren't they are human companion animals means that they become in danger from bad practices. Such as the Alpha theory which Wolf Specialists have even debunked in studies. Then bad training tips are given. Reinforce the Elder dog as a dominant dog... he is the alpha. No. This is so wrong. All your dogs are equal. You manage them. You can't withold food and make one dog feel unequal to the other (s) as this is when you will end up with serious issues and even severe aggression. Don't believe all you see on TV, Social Media and Books. The Internet and the library is a wealth of knowledge and Science books exploring genetics can offer a wealth of information and clarity. As well as scientific histories on Dogs, their breeds and behaviours 🐕

Or are you looking for support and would like to get to know us better?

If the answer is yes then click the image below to join my free facebook group. What is Miyagis Dog Training Community?
​
​So it is what it says on the tin! Its a community that is international of Clients and Colleagues with the most supportive and friendly people on the planet. Dog Trainers and Behaviourists from all over the world!

Why did I set up such a mammoth group?

​I wanted to have a group exclusively for Clients. For support and to meet uo and build on friendships from Classes or One to Ones. I want Clients to see you are not alone with your Dog and the problem you maybe having that you are not the first and won't be the last! I wanted a safe place where Clients could trade stories good and bad in one place for free!

I also wanted a safe place for the Trainers and Behaviourists I mentor within Social Media Platforms.

Why do this for free?

Because when I say I offer an holistic service I really do. It isn't about the money it is about you and your dogs. You and your dogs are all that matter.

​So I wanted to encourage people to do homework and build better quality relationships with their dogs. So 3 years ago I had a mad idea and set up the 100 days of dog training challenge. Once a day people would spend 5 minutes plus training their dog. Recording it and uploading their video onto the Community. Every participant recieved a Certificate.

​What I didn't count on was how many Professionals wanted to join and how fast word would spread. So this year 2020 I set up a 366 days of dog training challenge. 
​
We have Clients in America, Greece, Norway, Denmark and Spain. We have Trainers from Greece, Norway, Isle of Wight, America and many more Countries. As well as Dog Trainers and Trainee Behaviourists I mentor all over the world.

​So again yes this group is free. It is still primarily for Clients and for people to get to know me but we also have the Challenge running. Again for free. So if you want to join click the image below to be taken to the group directly. See you there!
