WHAT MAKES DOGWISH K9S SO SPECIAL?

Being a psychologist I have formulated our dog training to be therapeutic and healing. It is done in such a way as to capture, focus, and control the attention of the conscious mind of both the K9 and its handler, and at the same time program and coordinate their emotions and thought patterns, teaching them simultaneously to relax and intensify, under control.

The first step in training each K9 is to teach them to stop and relax physically, and emotionally. This prepares the K9 to focus, receive, and respond to commands in a proper mental/emotional state of mind. We call "going into training mode". It does produce a modified state of consciousness in the mind of the K9 which makes them much more sensitive, focused, and trainable. It has greatly enhanced our training program with all dogs we train.

The strategy we use for training teaches the K9 to become sensitive to the movements, smells, and electro-magnetic energies of the handler, and at the same time teaches the handler to project and focus their thoughts and energies into the K9.

  • As each recipient would learn and use the techniques I prescribed for handling their dogs, the effect of those exercises they used to maintain the training in their dog also appeared to have had the effect of stabilizing the workings of their own mind.
  • By working with a K9 whose brainwave (consciousness) and consequently body responses had been altered and controlled by the conditioning they had received in order to go into what we call "training mode", the dogs actually communicated with the handlers through their controlled behavior, and helped the handlers to do the same, which has had the affect of promoting balance and stability in their brain functions.
I have now been able to use this conditioning with my K9s to work with a wide spectrum of mental/emotional disorders, disabilities, and developmental disabilities in both children and adults with tremendous success, because through the conditioning experience, what the client actually learns is how to work with and control their own mentality and body functioning. Our K9s can actually:
  • Smell the difference between normal and abnormal body smells
  • Feel the abnormal electro-magnetic energy changes as the brain begins to send abnormal signals which the body projects,
  • See the difference between normal and abnormal muscular-neural movement,
  • Hear the difference in normal and abnormal body functions (breathing, speaking, blood flow and other normal body functioning sounds, etc.),
and respond with understanding and instant clarity to what is happening with the afflicted person. To confirm our findings we contacted field experts Doctor David Kelso, a leading Hospital Medical Administrator and the Vice President of the American Red Cross, to confirm our findings. After explaining how we able to train our K9s to be "brain wave" sensitive, Dr Kelso flew out and spent a week training seizure dogs with us. As a result he confirmed our findings and is using them in his University lectures, and stays in contact with us for further research and investigative concerns in this area of work, where we are leading the field. He also has had us train and purchased several K9s from us himself.

We took our diversified experience, coupled it with our knowledge and ability to create behaviors in dogs, and used it to make each K9 we place extremely sensitive, alert, and function able for a variety uses as the same time. Our recipients love them! As we did so, and our recipients called us with unbelievable reports of success with their dogs and we realized we had the ability to do things others had never done. For instance, our trained K9s are "brainwave and body functioning" sensitive, and can detect normal and abnormal states of brain and body activity with 100% accuracy, as proven over the past 5 years of field documented experience.

Last year, along with the K9s I trained for other seizure afflicted persons, I have taken two young men who were beset with severe seizures, and had them live with me. These two men would have severe seizures two or three times a week before they came to live with me, and one of them almost died this past year from the results. Their situation was very serious. By daily teaching them how to handle seizure K9s properly, and to work with them on a daily basis; how to eat correctly, breathe correctly, and think correctly, we were able to reduce the amount and severity of their seizures about 95%. During the process we were able to actually detect those behaviors leading up to potential seizures with the help of our K9s, up to some hours before each potential occurrence, and as a result either stop or control each occurrence with great success. As a result, each of these young men has returned to their families and are now enjoying normal lives.

We presently are working with 2 young women in the same condition whose lives have literally been stopped by their seizures. One of these women was California's #1, and the Nations #8 ranked Basketball player, a Graduate from USC. She now is able to continue building her life.
