Dogs are pack oriented animals which means they require a pack leader to establish WALKS, RULES, AND GOOD NUTRITION for the pack. If the dog perceives that his owner is NOT the leader, then he will have to take on the leadership role.
If this occurs, you may begin to see behavioral problems such as aggression of any type, uncontrollable on a leash, jumping, barking, shyness, and the list goes on.
These are NOT normal behaviors in dogs, yet owners accept this behavior! "Don't try to pet him, he's aggressive", is NOT normal. I am here to teach you to become a calm pack leader and to help you rehabilitate the dog to become a calm, submissive DOG.
I encourage you to love your dog differently so you can love him how you want. If you strive to fulfill your dog's needs; Leadership, walks, rules, and good nutrition (c), you will be able to experience the possibility of a wonderful, fulfilling and loving relationship with your best friend/s like my wife and I do. We have 5 Bernese Mountain Dogs and a German Shepherd!

Canine Behavior Specialist, Mark German, MBA, is a man with a serious mission. Recently profiled on Good Morning, Arizona and the Pat McMahon Show, Mark is working to get the word out to all dog owners: There’s Hope!© He would like to bring this awareness to everyone who loves their dog but struggles with out-of-control behaviors like jumping, barking, lunging, aggression, and shyness. There is no dog Mark won’t work with – “as long as the owner is willing to change.” He believes that practicing a calm energy with your dog is the first step to taking back control. At his symposiums, he points to statistics that show most people give up their dogs because of behavior issues, and he would like to change that. Mark feels that if people treated their dogs, like…well dogs, most behavioral issues would subside. That’s not to say he thinks we shouldn’t be affectionate with our pets. Mark advises that owners follow The Four Essentials to a Stable Dog©. “I know of people who can’t even have guests over to their house because of unruly dogs. I can show people how to change that and get their lives back.”
Mark has been training owners and rehabilitating their dogs for over 14 years. “It’s all about the energy” is his mantra.
“It is frustrating to see people who work with dogs, obedience trainers, handlers, humane society employees, veterinarians and staff, and even some ‘behaviorists’, treat dogs in a way that is detrimental to the dog’s state of mind. It’s neither constructive nor necessary to get angry or mean with dogs.
Leadership is about using one’s energy to stay in control, not man-handle a dog. We must remain calm and remember that we are always teaching our dogs our rules not training them.”
America’s Dog Whisperer, Mark German, MBA is available for private consultations, group demonstrations, and symposiums to help any organization learn how to rehabilitate and handle dogs properly. He also presents mini-seminars to teach children how to remain calm when faced with a stray or seemingly dangerous unsupervised dog.
In his book, There’s Hope! coming out before Christmas, he focuses on:
The Four Essentials to a Stable Dog©:
 Leadership Walks
Rules
Good Nutrition
Since the success of National Geographic’s Dog Whisperer®, people throughout the country are beginning to understand that dogs aren’t 4-legged kids. Dogs are a different species altogether with needs different from those of humans. Mark teaches owners how to utilize their calm energy to become the pack leaders, thereby allowing dogs to become calm and submissive within the dog-human pack.
