Lifestyle Support Dog^® Training

The purpose of RenChenZa^® Lifestyle Support Dog^® Training is to share how the human/dog experience can help people, pets, and society accept and adapt to change in a modern world, while achieving their full potential and purpose in life.

Lifestyle Support Dog^® Training incorporates the seven lessons of RenChenza^®, with a reinforcement-based dog training program. RenChenZa^® Lifestyle Support Dog^® Training has been developed by combining human experiences with insight gained from a lifetime spent with dogs. This combination creates an experience of insight, hope and self actualization. If you would like a deeper understanding of dog training and animal or human behavior, come out and experience our workshop with the help of your favorite companion animal.

Through Lifestyle Support Dog^® Training, you can gain a better understanding of how to achieve your full potential and purpose in life by engaging in a training program that emphasizes a dog centric perspective on life. Participants will learn how to incorporate a holistic blend of intellectual and emotional observation when examining the human/dog experience.

By exploring the human/dog experience, you will discover that your behavior, both conscious and unconscious, has a monumental impact on how you interpret your dog’s behavior. Some learning opportunities that we will explore in our workshop are:

• Group calming or stress reduction exercises. There will be group dog training activities, as well as activities that demonstrate useful ways to think about one’s lifestyle.
• The power of selection.
• The individual’s purpose or meaning in life. Does your dog have a purpose?
• The meaning of life in the context of the social group.
• Personal and social responsibility and self sacrifice.
• Fun things that will make your dog owning experience more rewarding.
• Exploring the realms of positive reinforcement.

Best of all, Lifestyle Support Dog^® Training is the closest thing to free dog training available – because you determine the value.

There is no standard fee for this program. We sincerely believe you will find this program to be a valuable resource. It’s strictly by your personal choice to make a donation. There is no obligation to give anything but your time and commitment, or you can give as much as you think is appropriate. The funds you give go to support various areas. First they go to expenses so we can continue our work to make life better for people and their dogs. After the immediate needs of teaching are met, surplus resources go to long term social projects and research.
