Harmonic Pathways – the group energy by which the dog flows with both the environment and other group members, including humans. Social behaviors, such as playing, hunting, breeding, etc., are examples of this. In training, it allows dogs to learn to function smoothly in a group and for the good of the group. Harmonic pathways are the way dogs learn HOW TO DO things. Being in true harmony with your dog allows him/her to want to work for and with you (Behan, 2009, p. 7-8).

Pack Instincts – not to be mistaken with mainstream notions of pack hierarchies (which rarely exist, if at all, in the wild), pack instincts refer to survival mechanisms often described as defensive, submissive, and dominance behaviors (Behan, 2009, p. 1).

Prey Drive/instinct – how the dog perceives the rhythm of the world…….the primary means of communication between dog and owner (Behan, 2009, p.13- ).
