Hands On

Problem Solving.

The founding principles of NDT will not only explain, but guide you to a true understanding of the nature of your favorite companion.

Just the Details

Kevin Behan offers unique training experiences with people and their pets at his farm in southern Vermont. Packages include hourly sessions, weekend, and even month-long training programs.

Thousands of owners have tried the NDT techniques and seen positive results from the get-go, – without being experts in the method.

This is often the path that leads many owners to become true believers of Natural Dog Training.

    that is really cool ! what about a Train the Trainer. Brad Pattison charges 6000$ for his dog trainer program

    If you can do it, spend a month there. Trust me, it’s worth it. You spend every day working with dogs. Your dogs as well as other people’s dogs. And when you’re not physically working with them, you’re talking about technique and theory.

    I spent a month there, and it was TOTALLY worth it. I thought I had an understanding of the NDT theory and process before I went, only to find out how little I actually knew. Not just about the NDT process, but about dogs in general. Reading about it and talking about it only go so far, no matter how much great input and direction you get online. Something I realized once I had hit the training wall with my dogs.

    And yeah, I can’t forget to mention that Vermont is beautiful. It’s so worth it, I plan on going back just to hang out:)

    IF YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT I ALSO LOSE 10 LBS I WILL DO IT

  4. Ben says:

    I’ve been thinking about inquiring about spending some time up there. I’d really like to start fostering dogs again, but I’m not comfortable with that until I get a better grip on training.

    Maybe when it warms up..

Books about Natural Dog Training by Kevin Behan

In Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog’s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn’t respond to what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels. And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions. Behan demonstrates that dogs and humans are connected more profoundly than has ever been imagined — by heart — and that this approach to dog cognition can help us understand many of dogs’ most inscrutable behaviors. This groundbreaking, provocative book opens the door to a whole new understanding between species, and perhaps a whole new understanding of ourselves.
  Natural Dog Training is about how dogs see the world and what this means in regards to training. The first part of this book presents a new theory for the social behavior of canines, featuring the drive to hunt, not the pack instincts, as seminal to canine behavior. The second part reinterprets how dogs actually learn. The third section presents exercises and handling techniques to put this theory into practice with a puppy. The final section sets forth a training program with a special emphasis on coming when called.
