Insights from Chapter 1

#1

When we are selecting a dog or addressing specific behaviors with our existing canine partner, we must be sure that we are looking at the whole animal. We don’t want to fall in love with a dog that is doomed to fail, and we don’t want to give up prematurely when there may be a simple solution.

#2

The L. E. G. S. system is a framework for understanding the many factors that affect your dog’s behavior. It ensures that no stone goes unturned. The external environment is a powerful factor in your dog’s behavior, just like it is for every species on earth.

#3

The physical features and behaviors of dogs are the result of their being purposefully selected for the behaviors they expressed. The environment must fit the animal, and vice versa. Dogs look so different from each other because they are so different from each other.

#4

The last pillar of L. E. G. S. is the self, which is the internal factors that are unique to each individual dog. Your dog is a one-in-a-million individual creature with likes and dislikes that make him unique and special.

#5

The four pillars of L. E. G. S. ® are environment, genetics, health, and socialization. Understanding these factors and how they affect your dog will help you arrive at the root cause of behavior problems and make an informed decision about what your dog needs.

#6

The L. E. G. S. ® approach is not easy, and it will not be easy for you and your dog. But it is possible, and it will lead to a better relationship between the two of you.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Every relationship involves two parties bringing their past experiences to the table. Your dog’s learning is shaped by what she has learned in life, and she will take note of your habits and reactions. You must understand how your dog learns on a practical day-to-day level.

#2

You are the one with the opposable thumbs, upright posture, and bigger brain. These things give you the ability to navigate a modern life filled with doors, latches, cars, and money. Because of this, you must take the lead in training your dog.

#3

There is a magic dog training method that will make your dog good, and many people are looking for it. But it doesn’t exist. There are good ideas and practices in dog training, but no magic recipe that will make your dog good no matter what.

#4

Dogs are not politicians running for office. They did not sign up to kiss every baby and shake every hand. They are not expected to enjoy being touched and petted by total strangers.

#5

When it comes to meeting other dogs, we should not force our dog to greet every new friend they see. We should provide our dogs with selective social opportunities, where there are context-relevant interactions with people and animals, rather than a free-for-all approach to socialization.

#6

Learning is how we keep up with the changes in our world. It is inextricably linked to the other elements of L. E. G. S. ®. When your dog becomes excited or terrified, her nervous system gets stressed, which can lead to her logical thinking and decision making abilities going down.

#7

The socialization period, which is the period of time during which a puppy is exposed to different people and environments, is a very important one. It programs an animal for life, teaching him what is safe and what is dangerous, what is normal and what is weird, and what to do and what not to do.

#8

Every animal is constantly trying to make sense of their surroundings, and they do this by categorizing events and assigning them meaning. This process of adding, sorting, or changing meaning is known in behavioral science as classical conditioning.

#9

The process of filtering and organizing sounds, sights, smells, and other events is largely unconscious, and it is a basic mechanism of survival for even the simplest of creatures. The search for and discovery of meaning in life is the basis of our ideas about the world.
