Understanding the Hierarchy of Dog Needs® by Linda Michaels: A Comprehensive Guide

The Hierarchy of Dog Needs was created by Linda Michaels and is a concept of what our dog’s need and how we can provide it. You can find out more about the amazing work Linda Michaels does here https://www.donoharmdogtraining.com/hierarchy-of-dog-needs-presentation

At its core, the Hierarchy of Dog Needs® emphasises the importance of meeting a dog’s basic biological, emotional, social, cognitive, and training needs in a force-free manner. By doing so, we can create a positive and healthy environment for our furry friends to live in.

In this video, I explain the Hierarchy of Dog Needs in detail, providing insight into the different types of needs and how to fulfill them. I also discuss the importance of adhering to the do no harm principle when it comes to force-free training.

If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of your dog’s needs and provide them with the best care possible, this video is a must-watch. And don’t forget to check out Linda Michaels’ website for more resources on the Hierarchy of Dog Needs®.

Advocating for your Dog’s Needs | Fearful Dog Advice

Advocating for your dog’s needs – the most important thing I learned after adopting a highly fearful, anxious deaf street dog from abroad. Your dog has needs and these need might be space. As your dog cannot talk, it’s our job to advocate for our dogs and have their needs fulfilled.

If you have an anxious dog, why not join #dogsinyellow or the yellow army by My Anxious Dog. It’s an initiative by my anxious dog to create awareness and get space by wearing yellow – as a universal sign for dogs who need space.
