Urinating and soiling indoors, on pathways, on bedding,
on driveway, patios, and anywhere they shouldn't.
It is built into every dog's genes to do their business away from where they live and sleep, and away from food and water. So when a dog is messing indoors, he is like a bedwetting child - he is saying "help, I'm confused!" 
Adult domestic dogs that are housetrained use their excreta as a way of attempting to draw attention to something that is confusing or stressing them.
Through curing behaviour problems in many thousands of homes over many years, a clear pattern has emerged. Once the confusion is removed, and the root of the dog's problem addressed, the indoor soiling automatically goes. Every time.
Pam no longer teaches theories,
repeats myths that others are repeating, or passes on the opinions of others who are passing on the opinions of others who have researched myths and others' opnions. No - she only teaches what has been proven to work over many years of hands on experience:
"Just thought I would give you a five month report back on my dogs - the three who who piddled inside ?? We have only had three puddles since I started your programme in February ! I am so thrilled with the results - you cannot believe how good it is to not have to lift my rugs every evening . They are all in all are much calmer, happier dogs. Please feel free to use me as a reference for anyone who doubts the possiblity of stopping bad behaviour with your original and natural techniques !!! The best investment I have ever made. Thank you!" Catriona.
Commands do not work. Dogs do not like being commanded any more than we like being ordered around. Yet,
commanding dogs is as entrenched into the very fabric of our society as behaviour problems are.
But... once the dog's perspective is considered, the “need” for commands drops away, and are replaced with far simpler and kinder (politer!) techniques giving orders to our best friend - which works immediately! Then urinating and messing in the house - automatically stops because urinating indoors (and on patios etc.) is the dog's only way of saying: "Help! I don't understand you!"
So why is everyone teaching us wrong then? Firstly, commands give the appearance of “results”, through instilling fear in the dog, which gives an
illusion of obedience. Second, everyone is repeating what everyone else is saying without actually checking to see if what they are teaching is
actually working in the long term!! They simply presume these myths are true because they hear them so often. And because conducting long-term quality control tests in thousands of dogs' homes in many countries over many years is a long and tedious process, and because dogs can't speak up, they get away with teaching theories as facts. But Pam has done research this for you.
Commands are actually verbal abuse. They both demean - and underestimate our pet dogs. If you told a person to sit, then stood over them, they
would feel threatened. Then if you gave them a piece of biltong or a sweetie for sitting, they would think you a bit of a twit. So we get into
these mutually-exploiting relationships with our dogs, where we demean them, and they exploit us. We think we made them obey us. They think
(know) they made us obey them. This is not a healthy relationship. But remember, a lot of people who teach us how to handle our dogs are
working with dogs because they do not have healthy social skills. So if they are in unhealthy relationships, they will think that dominating,
exploiting, bullying and bribing is O.K. Worse – is the right thing to do.
So when you command (or even tell) your dog to go outside, you are verbally abuse him! (Try that on a person and see if they like you!!) So your dog comes back, in and
says his own twopence worth! He has opinions, and if he doesn't express them, he's brain dead. He is a highly intelligent, social creature, built for
relationships of mutual trust, respect, loyalty and affection. And verbal abuse both confuses and demean, and are also inappropriate to a dog's pack culture. Put simply -
he hasn't a clue what we are on about. If our dog “obeys” - it is because he is overwhelmed by us or afraid of being punished, and it is neither kind nor common sense to lose our temper because someone doesn't understand us.
In the wild, the leader dog, or alpha, leads by example – he does not command his pack. Pam teaches you how to get your message across to your dog and
to set parameters for him according to his pack instincts, so that he automatically knows the difference between
what is allowed, and what is not allowed. All dogs are designed to live according to a moral code, which explains why Dog Training Nature's Way never fails.
Anger outbursts, being firm, commanding and dominating dogs all cause our dogs to lose their trust in us, or to retaliate (after all, he has feelings too) or to cry for help in the only way that he knows. In the Language of the Pack.
The solution? Both Living with an Alien and the Natural Dog Training Home-Kit will cure this
behaviour problem in an amazingly short time. Kindly and easily - simply by making our dog no longer wish to soil indoors. All dogs want to be good - they only need to be understood!
Nature's way is always simple.
