DOG FACT: The Fluent K9 method has worked with a huge amount of dogs–from War Dogs to Pariah/Village/Jungle Dogs–these two groups represent the extremes in the Dog World. And that’s why I’m known as the Jedi Dog Master

If I can train those dogs I can help you and your dog.

In contrast, here’s a fact: no other dog trainer has passed the Jedi Dog Master Challenge (you can find out more on this website and check out the video about it). .

I have a very unique background with a variety of canines. I am a Cynologist. This is an expert in canines a profound understanding of biology, genetics, ethology, learning development, etc.

This very special operational education along with my rigorous university training gave me some powerful insights into the totality of human canine interactions.

In the past I only helped a very small circle of “in the know” people. NOW I’m making this method available to the general public.

Here is a quick fix to a common situation: a Management Solution cures what Others Consider to be a Training Problem.

  1. One Huge Difference:

Signals vs Language 

Signals NOT Semantics

Using something better

Signal Speak Alpha–Signal Speak Bravo

Answer this: can you communicate with a traffic light?

The reality is that it can give you information via a signal, but you can't talk about politics, philosophy, film or art with a traffic light.

This is the hard cold fact with Human and Canine. Dogs are not learning languages. They are learning signals.

Auditory signals which is what verbal commands are–have to be divorced from what you think a human language is. 

For example:  Many dog trainers tell their clients to use English and English only with their dogs. This hackneyed idea is not in your best interests or your dogs.  You see, I have not talked to one linguist (I mean academic) who agrees that using two or more languages with canines creates confusion.

Here's a fact that you need to accept:  There is no language between primates and canines.

There are just SIGNALS..

As a expert in linguistics (graduate degree and academically published) I can tell you that the confusion is that humans, especially monolinguals, want to project their life via language (i.e. semantics and idiosyncratic speech) onto canines.

It's wrong.

And it's time to change things.

And this is where Signal Speak Alpha (the primary way canines can learn with humans) and Signal Speak Bravo (the best way for humans to use the secondary system)

Just as there has been an improvement in the general dog training world by using better operant and respondent training methods (which were used way back in the 40s if you know your history) there needs to be a revolution in signal clarity training.

The cold, hard truth of that matter is that it takes a rare expert who knows phonotactics, phonology and canine behavioral ecology–otherwise you'll have as much improvement as a trick trainer trying to improve sled dogs' performances.

The following video describes part of the problem and its solution. I have worked extremely hard to vastly improve SIGNAL CLARITY TRAINING

FLUENT K9 TRAINING

You may have never heard of Fluent K9 Training–and to tell you the truth, outside of some very elite circles there is no way that you could have heard about it.

So let's take the cover off this mysterious box and peer inside to find out exactly what is Fluent K9 Training and how it absolutely can help you and your dog achieve your REAL WORLD goals. To see how powerful this training is take a look at the Jedi Dog Master Challenge. No other Dog Training Method and Trainer have been able to meet this challenge.
