What
is Cynopraxis
v
Definitions and limits governing cynopraxic activity

interests

potential for conflict or cooperation

The term cynopraxis combines the Greek roots cyno (kunos)
or dog and praxis (prassein), meaning “to do” or doings with the
dog. In accordance with Aristotle’s usage of the term, these
doings consist of exchanges and transactions performed in accordance
with three general criteria: they are voluntary, regulated by
informed choice, and performed as an end in itself. The goals of
cynopraxic training are limited to activities that satisfy two
essential social and life experience criteria: (1) enhance the
human-dog bond and (2) improve the dog’s quality of life. The
cynopraxic training process proceeds on the assumption that dogs and
people possess a mutual capacity for affectionate cooperation and
play. Accordingly, cynopraxic training is a process of social
exchange that promotes cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes
conducive to an adaptive coping style, attunement, secure
attachments, and a state of heightened mutual awareness. The focus
of cynopraxic training is to enable people and dogs to enter into
rewarding exchanges conducive to mutual appreciation and interactive
harmony.
