The Roedel Method, different and unique, raising your dog with learning processes that are
natural to and recognisable for
your dog!
As a pup, dogs learn from other dogs how to behave as
a dog. It is because of this that they are able
to communicate with each other. Pups learn this
thanks to the process of
social learning.
During this process of social learning, every
dog learns the dog language; the language of
scent, body language with all of its gestures,
all dog codes and manners!
  
Human language and dog language are two
completely different languages. Thanks to the
process of social learning, dogs can communicate
with each other in their own dog language. They
understand each other very quickly. Humans train
and raise their dog in order to be able to
communicate with them, to learn to understand
him. In this process, rewarding desirable dog
behaviour seems to be self evident.
Dogs raise each other and ‘talk’ to each other,
but they never reward each other. Have you ever
seen a dog giving another dog a treat?
If dogs can learn so much from other dogs
without treats, is it fair of us to continue to
state that dogs are opportunists, and that we
can only motivate them with food and treats?
Dogs also talk with humans in their own subtle
and extensive scent and body language. For us
humans, this is an unknown language. Humans and
dogs often don’t ‘understand’ each other, which
can unintentionally cause ‘behavioural problems’!
Can a dog ‘understand’ us if we reward him with
a treat in our own human way, in order to ratify
the dogs behaviour positively? Or can we, as
humans, learn to reward desirable behaviour in a
different way, understandable and natural to the
dog?
Raising and training your dog the natural way
with the Roedel Method,
means learning to understand and ‘speak’ the dog
language in a way
that every dog knows and recognises.
without un-doglike rewards,
without punishments,
without physical force,
without superfluous use of the voice!
