You have heard of people who talk to their plants. In fact you may be one of them. Perhaps there is some wisdom in the idea that talking to your plants creates an energy that is conducive to health, even that of a plant. To be sure, we all know how a persons negative energy can change the entire atmosphere of a party or a meeting room.
This is true of pets and canines in particular. Very seldom is a dog that is well integrated into a family a "problem dog". Even less frequently is a dog a "problem dog" when the environment it lives in is filled with peace, calm behavior, gentleness and organization. Negative energy in the home will produce similar results in a family pet as it does in children and even, parents.
I have been to many homes where the problem that was facing the family pet was not actually the pet but rather, the environment and the family itself.
It is critical that a dog is socialized with people, animals and different environments, but a home that is calm, orderly and at peace is the absolute starting point for modifying unwanted behavior in a canine companion.
Stand back and look at the relationships and the dynamics of those relationships in your family and consider the things that you may, as a family, change or modify for the sake of your dog. You will be pleased and rewarded with new and improved behavior.
