"Discover Your Human Potential By Developing Your Dogs Potential!"

the art of human development through dog training

By understanding one thing (a dog) we can understand all things
(the human condition, our lives).

This is dog training with an enphasis on the HUMAN and human development. We use our dogs and dog training as a vehicle for understanding our selves as well as a way to develop control over our own animal nature.

dog training is not an end in it self, it is an opportunity to discover new ways to see the world and develop new patterns to propel us to new heights on our journey though life. Here dog training is only a means to personal growths.

While studying the dog tao I encourage you to practice other physical and mental arts/disaplins. By studying other arts one can improve their reference points of understanding by developing physical points of reference. In fact other arts and disciplines have been very important in the development of the dog tao

When studying dog tao we allow the nature of the dog to become the reference point for understanding the animal nature of humans (it is also the animal nature of humans that helps us to understand the nature of the dog).

Once we have a reference point and understanding of our animal nature, it is easier to move beyond the animal nature and into the higher nature of the human.
