Оглавление“Believe in yourself, and I’ll believe in you, too”, Dog softly says in his gentle, silent wisdom.
Our dogs look to us to provide their cues, guidance and directives, and they- on a very instinctual, primal level - won’t trust, respect or follow unstable or weak, soft, passive, frustrated, impatient, anxious, or overall emotionally charged energy. Would you?
When we’re confident, calm, patient, “in the zone”, they feel comforted, safe, and secure following our lead. When we believe in ourselves, they believe in us, too.
Adversely, if we’re feeling insecure, doubtful, hesitant, impatient, stressed out, emotional or angry, this projects a far different energy and imparts a much different message. One that clearly suggests we’re not safe to follow.
If no one is guiding, leading, and at the helm of the ship, instinct will tell Dog to step up and slide into the vacant role; causing even more instability, insecurity, fear, and anxiety as they don’t understand this far-from-instinctual world we’re living in and they’re, now, having to navigate.
“Believe in yourself, and I’ll believe in you, too.”
If trying to communicate with your pup has been a challenge, do a quick self-check. What types of messages are you sending without even saying a word? What type of energy are you projecting? What’s going on behind your personal curtain? Before Dog can believe or take us seriously, we must believe in ourselves. Are we confident and clear in what we’re asking for?
Whether it’s to step up a bit more in life, stand our ground, firm up – or even soften a bit - in our energy and approach, we always get the dog we need to help us work through the challenges we’re most ready for.
Believe in yourself, and Dog will, too.
