DOG-MASTER® SYSTEM originally entered the U.S.
market in the mid-1960's under the salutory name HI-FIDO®.
It also had the name "Veterinarians SoundRx"
used exclusively and specially for dispensing by veterinarians.
Why is DOG-MASTER® SYSTEM different? Unlike
what some of you may initially think, here are a few facts:
It's NOT a choke chain.
It's NOT a shock collar.
It's NOT a dog whistle.
It does NOT use a clicker.
It does NOT use treats.
It is NOT an in-home dog training service.

seeing him (Dr. Miller) bring two untrained German short-haired pointers
under his control in less than two minutes, my skepticism vanished and I
started to learn...."

DOG-MASTER® LEARNING SYSTEM is a scientifically planned system incorporating the latest
in teaching methodologies and techniques.
The heart of the system is a new scientific breakthrough developed by
Dr. Dare Miller, Ps.D., Ph.D., a totally new
concept involving unique learning sound instruments for teaching fine
dogs.
THE THEORY
 The DOG-MASTER® instruments are not choke chains or
collars. Nor are they electronic shock devices. They are a highly
advanced evolvement of Ivan Pavlov's famous bell and conditioning
experiments. Pavlov's research established that the particular nature of
canine reflexes allows a dog to be more easily conditioned to create more
desirable responses, and once conditioned, to involve more of the dog's
mental abilities, resulting in a greatly expanded thinking and
understanding dog.
THE TUNING FORK
For his tests Dr. Miller chose a tuning fork instead of a bell because it resonates
at a more constant pitch. Hearing is a dog's keenest sense, and Dr.
Miller's object was to find the cut-off point of conscious hearing. Just
beyond this point lies the phenomenon of automatic subliminal
suggestion. If it worked with dogs as it did with humans it would
mean a real scientific breakthrough.
It was through the use of the electroencephalograph (EEG) that Dr. Miller was able
to pinpoint the exact frequency at which the dog's conscious hearing
cuts off. Those results were first published in Dr. Miller's book, The
Secret of Canine Communication (1966). Sounds occurring at this frequency were marked in the EEG
recordings by V-shaped dips or dents (see figure on the right). Further
studies showed that these dips indicated an instantaneous albeit
temporary state of complete mental curiosity and receptiveness within the dog. Why was
this significant? Because Dr. Miller eventually found
that when a word is spoken at that exact same moment in the dip― when
the dog's mind is much more willing― it causes the dog to
want to do what is shown to him/her without any force or pain.
True communication!
Elated by his discovery Dr. Miller saw great value in avoiding and
curing all the ills of dog ownership, in hopes of total dismissal of
animal shelters. Extensive research and experiments spanning over a
decade (and incurring astronomical expenses) culminated to what is now the
DOG-MASTER® LEARNING SYSTEM.
DOG-MASTER® is a complete body of
knowledge, techniques, and instruments that teaches both
dog and master, applying practical but living principles
of psychology, ethology, and physiology― all disciplines of its
inventor.
The “teaching” method embodies the use
of
subliminal
sound-producing devices referred to as the DOG-MASTER® sonic instruments.
Directions to the proper use of these instruments and the proper
execution of Dr. Miller's patented method are simple and easy,
but EXACT, and they are contained in the DOG MASTER SYSTEM book, whose
compact-size makes it handy for use in the field. An added option to the
kit is an audio recording entitled The MASTER CD, a great aid in
developing one's voice techniques.

THE LEARNING SOUND
Laboratory Test Certification
Dr. Miller's findings were later corroborated by
R.W. Redding, Ph.D., D.V.M. in B.F. Horlein's book, Canine Neurology
(1971).
THE PATENTS
Dr. Dare Miller received 5 U.S. patents for the DOG-MASTER® LEARNING
SYSTEM (U.S.patent numbers 3159140, 3498266, 338747, 337865, and 336693).
DRAMATIC RESULTS IN
THE HOME
If you plan for your dog to be a loved one and not just an
animal who does "tricks," then DOG-MASTER® is for you. No matter
what other functions your dog may have, he must behave well in
the home. Otherwise, your dog is not happy, and you're not
happy. An educated dog is a pleasure and a pride to own.
That— is what DOG-MASTER® gives you!
THE FIELD
DOG-MASTER® dogs hunt for their masters, not off on their own. They are "tuned in" and
take direction better than with any other method. Because they
are more owner-oriented, they are not as hard-headed nor
hard-mouthed. No more over-ranging, busting birds, or breaking
point. You can even rehabilitate the gun-shy ones.
THE OBEDIENCE RING
Teach— in minutes— all commands and.... without a leash!
No shock collars, no choke chains, no ropes needed. Dogs follow
the DOG-MASTER® like mice under the spell of the Pied Piper of
Hamelin. Corrections are taught effectively on a mental level—
no physical force or punishment involved. They learn more
quickly, and retain what they have learned more permanently.
THE SHOW RING
Teach your dog first without a leash, making subsequent leash
training unbelievably easier. DOG-MASTER® makes more willing,
more handler-oriented show dogs. It teaches alertness and
attention, more concentration amid distractions in the ring. No
loss of sprit! Keeps your dog's head up and brings up
personality!
