Dog Finds Man

The name of my business is CANINE INSTINCT— that says it all! I have been telling people since I was sixteen years old that we are developing your canine instinct.  Humans in the world of today generally lack true awareness. People are so out of touch with themselves let alone their dogs. I open up people through their dogs.  There are many great dog trainers out there but few that have the ability to communicate well with people.  I like not to be known as a dog trainer but a teacher and handler— I teach you how to be your own tool and handle your dog.  As this process finds its rhythm you will be gradually learning to become your own best critic, therefore, your own teacher enabling you to progress as a pack leader on a daily basis throughout your dog’s life.

My Warren Method covers the entire spectrum of teaching the canine – a common-sense, simple, straightforward, natural way to communicate with the dogs, based on love, trust and respect:

~Love between a handler and his dog puts the relationship in a positive framework.

~The handler makes the relationship functional by earning respect from the dog.

~With love and respect comes trust.  And once trust is gained, it becomes the progressive component of the relationship. Trust enables the handler and his dog to work as a team, and accomplish nearly anything.

My foundation commands are the stay and the heel, based on the four principles of physical control, patience, priority, and guidance. This approach enables a quality handler to earn the respect, and therefor trust and gain the love of the dog:

~The stay teaches the dog to have physical control over himself, and develop patience and a sense of priority.

~The heel teaches the dog to accept and seek the handler’s guidance.

~I don’t use heavy-handed techniques, bribes or gimmicks.  The key is consistency in the execution of specific mechanics, and a clear-headed emotional presentation.  The handler learns how to project purpose, assertiveness and confidence to the dog.

~Consistency = the dog hearing, seeing and feeling the same thing coming from the handler all the time in the execution of a command.  This demonstrates to the dog that handler has a clear plan and can follow through, regardless of its lack of cooperation.

~As you prove yourself to your dog by developing your canine instinct under Kyle’s wing— you will be improving your dog’s obedience, better referred by Kyle as pack function. Your dog is either a functional or dysfunctional pack member, you decide— the answer is a definite yes or no.

~All leaders have goals but good leaders good plans.

~ The dog will only handle well when the handler has presented themself well over a period of time.

~ People have deadlines for dogs but dogs don’t have deadlines.

~One must practice often to excel but quality over quantity will win 9 out of 10 times.  One must know what is right even when things are not going well.
