Giving a dog its needs creates balance and fulfilment. Here at K9 PSYCHOLOGY CANINE TRAINER, Scent Detection & Mantrailing Instructor in Airdrie North Lanarkshire, Scotland, I help dogs by training the owner.
Michael Emans, Canine Trainer : Who Am I
All through my life, I have been involved with dogs. I grew up with them at every part of my life and at no time have there never been dogs in my family.
I started to watch dogs and watch their behaviour to each other during my early years. I would watch the dogs in the street. In Scotland, we had housing schemes where dogs were just let out by their owners and they would happily interact with each other with little or no human influence. As you can imagine it leads to many cross breeds roaming the streets of Glasgow where the children would happily interact with them.
I watched them chase cars and chase each other. I watched as they roamed in packs and sorted the spats out between each other.
Once I joined the armed forces, I had the opportunity to do my dog handlers course. During my training, I would watch my German Shepherd closely and look at his body language and try and read him. I would sit at the end of the day on his bed board in his kennel and just sit quietly taking in the moment. I would try and work out what made him tick.
I then had the opportunity to work with detection dogs. I could see what dogs needed through my career and then take that forward into the pet dog environment. It was the natural progression to take the experience I learned and pass that onto others.
I have trained with various associations within the civilian dog industry. Why because I believe it is vitally important we look at all training methods to get the best. I study everyday because every day is a learning day. I have many friends in the industry, who are very good in their field, I believe its important we as trainers share our information. Its only by bringing many ideas to the table we find the best methods to deal with the many issues with our dogs we come across in todays society. I have trained with UK College of Scent detection, Scent Work UK and Mantrailing UK Fully qualified instructor for all three disciplines.
I don't sugar coat things I am open and honest. I will tell you how it is. I teach people to understand their dog's needs. I get them to read their dog's body language. They tell us so much through their own language and sometimes we don't see it. I do it through balance and positive reinforcement, using the minimum amount of correction necessary.

Training Dogs the Right Way
There is a right way to provide for the needs of our dogs. If we don't fulfil those needs, it can result in behavioural problems such as destruction, anxiety and danger towards both animals and people.
