true one owner dogs

Used to do it with hard-case horses all the time... works well on dogs too...

Once you get them in, put 'em in a pen(I tied horses to a pole for days sometimes), no water, no food. They tend to get thirsty/hungry perty quick... only way they get either is through me. I want that animal to view me as his "savior" for lack of a better word. Some take longer than others and may have to be "eased" into it, i.e., maybe just getting them to "tolerate" you being close initially while they drink... eventually eating from your hand.

... very good way to "break one down" so as you might "build him back up"....

as said, massive amounts of time(WITHOUT the stress of expectation of performance in any sort)... helps the animal get comfortable and allows communication to evolve.

Gotta make friends before you ask an animal to do something for you
