Involvement in the Seduction Community

By his own admission he spent most of his life without having any success with women. He was especially frustrated that his business and financial successes had no effect on his dating life. In 2000, to save his sanity, JDOG made a decision to get his dating life fixed once and for all. That decision set him on a life changing journey. First... exercise! Becoming passionate about outdoor sports and fanatical with going to the gym, he lost 30lbs, lost his gut, and got into the best shape of his life.

Next was a long and ongoing process of developing his own personal sense of fashion and style. Of course without confidence when talking to women, and without even understanding women, and knowing how to communicate on a sexual and captivating level, little was gained by the other changes alone.

Late one night while watching BBC America JDOG's eyes were opened to the secret society of pickup artists. The television show Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends featured a man called Ross Jeffries, who was teaching other men how to seduce women. It seemed real!

"Until that moment I never believed that it was possible to change the way that women are attracted to you. Honestly I had just accepted the fact that the women I find attractive are just not attracted to me... and that's just a horrible place to find yourself." Recalls JDOG.

JDOG studied under Ross, learning methods of using one's language, tone of voice, and gesture to communcate in a more captivating manner. Ross and JDOG have remained good friends ever since. Fascinated by these principles JDOG later earned both a Master Practitioner Certifaction in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and a Hypnotherapy Certification.

Having now been exposed to the seduction community JDOG travelled to meet and learn from the world's most revered Pickup Artists, such as Mystery, Neil Straus, Lance Mason, Tyler Durden, and many others. In the process becoming a master and teacher of the art himself, respected and known internationally. JDOG has since taught alongside most of the top dating coaches in the world ["The Pick-up Artist" Is on Vh1 [http://newsblaze.com/story/2007081412545100001.mwir/topstory.html "News Blaze 2007"] ]

When teaching JDOG excels at making sure that guys truly understand the material, and are able to apply it to improve their lives. His ability to make positive, lasting, improvements in other peoples’ lives is second to none. JDOG has impeccable communication skills, and is able to relate to students of all ages and backgrounds, especially those who think of themselves as too old or not interested in the nightclub scene.

JDOG's focus is on teaching guys to become naturally more attractive men, through the way they live their lives, and communicate with others. Rather than trying to buy or beg for a woman's attention, and certainly as a better alternative than using social tricks to get women into bed. In this way men tend to find they have more fulfilling relationships and can keep quality women in their life long after the initial "pick up."
