"The Art of UPWARD Methodology" is a reaction to the insanity that has taken over the dog-world. "The Art of UPWARD Methodology" clears our minds, allowing us to see our urban world through the eyes of rescued dogs. Billie Groom shares her knowledge, acquired through hands-on experience working and volunteering with dogs, rescuers, fosters and adopters spanning over three decades, to change our perspective, and increase our understanding, of dogs over the age of six months. We learn why the inherent limitations of positive training and the perceived need for dominance and alpha status has created a society saturated with gimmicks, void of logic, and struggling to meet the needs of rescued dogs. The journey we take while reading this book introduces us to the fundamentals of UPWARD Methodology, an approach to working with dogs that has changed the lives of thousands of rescued and adopted dogs and the people who are so desperately trying to help them. The challenges faced as the rescue-world explodes on a global level has been met with increased conformity and rules, stifling our ability to address the individual needs of dogs. To effectively help them, we must first change our mind-set and approach, and, in turn, rediscover the simplicity and beauty in these acts of kindness.
Autorenporträt
Billie is an animal advocate dedicated to keeping dogs out of shelters and off the euthanasia table. In the early 1990's she began rescuing dogs over the age of six months, providing her with a knowledge of dog behaviour and an insight into the world of dog-rescue which cannot be achieved through conventional learning. She owned one of the first daycare and boarding businesses in Toronto, Canada, which she sold to focus on learning, through handson application, how to effectively work with dogs deemed challenging or slated for death due to behavioral reasons. She was awarded by the Toronto Humane Society and recognized by the Stoney Creek Animal Control, and, over the years, has helped rescue organizations worldwide. Over the course of her three-decade journey, Billie has worked with street dogs, community dogs, and dogs with unknown checkered pasts from Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Panama, Thailand, Spain (Galgos), and China, as well as dogs rescued from the Yulin Festival, dog fighting rings, backyard breeders, and death-row. She also works with dogs with no history of abuse or neglect to keep them out of the system and in good homes. Her success in rehabilitating dogs with aggression and anxiety, and addressing behaviors associated with adolescent, adult, and adopted dogs, led to the creation of UPWARD¿ Dogology, a scientifically proven system adhering to the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy. As a successful behaviorist, Billie's clients include veterinarians, animal experts, scientists, experts in cognitive behavioral therapy, rescuers, fosters, industry professionals, and dog lovers with all levels of experience. UPWARD is an acronym for Urban People With Adopted and Rescued Dogs, and Billie credits UPWARD¿ Dogology for saving the lives of thousands of dogs. Billie is dedicated to spreading awareness on the urgency of incorporating UPWARD¿ Dogology into mainstream dog rearing, along side other non-aversive, effective methodologies. Billie is the author of an award-winning book, is published in Ruff Drafts Magazine, and is the creator and host of her podcast, Dog Training DisrUPted, Upward Dogology. She was a guest speaker at the University of Regina, Animals in Society Program, has made numerous television appearances, been interviewed on radio shows and podcasts, and is featured in newspapers and magazines. She is a member of the Dog Writers Association of America, Comparative Cognition Society, and the Animal Behavior Society. Billie is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario, and currently resides in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada with her senior dog from Costa Rica and a Mexi-rescue.
