What is Rewilding?
Our modern world has outpaced our dogs' ability to adapt, leaving many dogs struggling to cope with their everyday lives. Isolation, excessive confinement, sensory overload from technology, limited time outdoors, and a mismatch of expectations, all contribute to an increase of behavioral issues.
While we often seek obedience training to solve behavior problems, rewilding may offer a more effective and ethical pathway to recovery.
Rewilding is a holistic approach that honors and supports natural canine instincts and genetics. By moving beyond traditional obedience, we prioritize the restoration of each dog's core wellbeing. The key benefits of rewilding include:
-
Instinct Fulfillment: Allowing natural behaviors like digging, sniffing, and foraging fulfills instinctive needs and reduces frustration and stress.
-
Mental Resilience: A natural, sensory-rich environment provides mental stimulation essential for a calm, balanced mind.
-
Physical Health: Freedom of movement across natural, varied terrain leads to better coordination and physical fitness.
-
Deeper Connection: By understanding and supporting your dog's inherent needs, you build a relationship based on mutual respect and understanding, resulting in lasting harmony.
Rewilding is about shifting the relationship from one of control to one of collaboration and respect for the dog's natural "dogness."
