Review:
I enjoyed this book, certainly a different way to train your dog, and this new form of training has been given the title of 'Free Will Teaching.' This beautiful photographic paperback is firstly about a dog called Wolfie, and it is basically about his life from nine weeks to eighteen months of age. It shows how his mind works at a young age, and the natural behaviour that follows, as well as charting this progress as Wolfie developed into an adult. The training is based on the understanding of why Wolfie does what he does, and therefore what influences this behaviour. Also, many of the issues that will appear along the way can then hopefully be avoided and/or dealt with to make like more harmonious for the pup and his family. By taking into account how a dog thinks, and how they learn and respond, and what ages they have natural development stages in the mind and body, the book shows how all these things will influence a dog's personality and development as he/she matures into adulthood, and how all these situations are dealt with, can then affect a dog in all its future life. Key aspects of Free Will Treaching are emotional awareness, language and mental ability, and these in turn build the framework that can support every aspect of that dog's life. This way of teaching is said to be powerful and effective with results that will last a lifetime. I love the way this book is set out as a story. A true one, of course. Plus, the extracts of Wolfie's diary are delight, along with the super 'ordinary' photos of everyday life. Charts, graphics and illustrations also make up a complete package and include puppy number two, Remy, entering the story as well. Certainly, this gives the reader a fair bit to think about; interesting and well written. The author Kathie Gregory is an animal behaviourist and she specialises in advanced cognition and emotional intelligence. Her aim is to develop her free will teaching so that it will provide a framework for animals to enjoy life without compromising their free will. - Dog Training Weekly. Starch advocate of Canine Rights? A puppy called Wolfie: A passion for Free Will Teaching will empower you! Practicing as an established and respected canine behaviourist?
