Ami Moore The Chicago Dog Coach Shows Support For The Human-Animal Bond

Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, recently participated in the Bodhi Spiritual Center’s 2nd Annual Pet Blessing and Pet Memorial, facilitated by the Animal Ministry in the Connection Cafe in Chicago IL. She strongly supports the Bodhi’s 3rd Annual Pet Blessing and Pet Memorial in the Fall of 2010 and encourages all Chicago area dog owners to attend

Science has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that human interaction with animals makes us happier, healthier and gentler with other people. By encouraging a spiritual connection with the animals in our lives we can honor the wild animals that need our help to survive.

”You needn’t look far," stated Ms. Moore, "for information on the importance of honoring our bond with animals. You have to go beyond the Dog Whisperer and get into the dog’s soul, as I teach in my book, The Alphatude Attitude.

At the Bodhi's 3rd Annual Pet Blessing and Pet Memorial event, people will come together to celebrate the lives of the animals who have touched their own lives with music, videos, pictures and stories. Tears, joy and heartfelt celebration of the lives of dogs and cats that make human lives whole will fill the room.

“Even the greatest vet schools in America," continued Ms. Moore, "Harvard, Cornell, Purdue and others are studying the benefits that we get when we allow well behaved animals into our heart. The Human-Animal Bond is the dynamic relationship between people and animals in that each influences the psychological and physiological state of the other. Human-animal interaction has profound physiological consequences. People, in the contact with animals experience a decrease in blood pressure, reduced anxiety, and a general feeling of well being. By observing the behavior of animals, children learn to be more nurturing and perhaps better parents to their own children. The therapeutic value of animals for socially isolated individuals in nursing homes, hospitals, hospices, and prisons has been documented. People in the presence of animals are often perceived to be more happy and healthy.”

”The important caveat is that the dog, cat or horse has to well-bred and well-behaved for dog owners to get the benefits. If the dog is hyper, fearful or aggressive, people don’t get the benefits.”

Ami Moore is widely recognized as one of America’s leading dog training masters.

As a dog trainer, personal coach and therapist, she assists non-profit organizations in creating and implementing therapy/service dog programs in schools, churches, community centers, prisons and other businesses.

"In my book, 'The Alphatude Attitude'", continued Ms. Moore, "I talk about how the human component, particularly the feelings of fear, anger and frustration, influence a dog's behavior. The human learning to control their emotions is an important part of this process. I always tell my clients that their dogs need leadership more than love. ‘Alphatude’ is the leadership attitude expressed in a way that the dog understands. Dogs don’t really understand abstractions like words or emotions. Dogs understand concrete communication: tone, body language and facial expression.”
