This episode is the first of many in a series called ‘Let’s DO better’.

It is a known fact that you cannot do better until you know better, until you understand HOW to approach something and until you understand what effect your actions will have on another being.

Humans can talk to us and tell us how our actions or words have made them feel.

Dogs can’t but they DO talk……in their body language and behavior! We just haven’t paid them enough attention so far.

That’s one of the things we need to change.

Because of how we have been conditioned to think about our dogs by the pet industry, this way of thinking with all our focus on the dog as the problem has become part of our belief system.

As we all know I’m sure, changing our belief systems can be challenging. Some of us humans can be very set in our ways, and some of us are so convinced in our belief systems that we refuse to hear what another has to say or see another’s viewpoint.

But it is time. And that is my purpose with this podcast.

In this episode 7, let’s examine the very foundation most modern pet dog relationships are built on…..a very rocky foundation rooted in disconnect, miscommunication, and misunderstandings between us and our canine companions - which ultimately are the effects of the root cause = a failure to understand our 4legged family member, due to dog training typically being concerned with treating the symptoms not the cause.

The misunderstandings and miscommunication I witness a lot of boils down to the misconstrued image of the perfect pet and that you have to talk down to your dog, let him understand who is the boss, make him obey or else.

Again, this is not your fault, the dog parent, but the wrongful illusion we have been fed for decades by the pet industry. 

How many dogs have been wronged because of this misunderstanding of WHO a dog really is and why he does what he does, HOW to train him, how to dominate him? 

How sad…..

But how amazing it is to experience for yourself the huge difference it makes to a dog’s behavior when YOU finally understand him and you change your behavior and frequency,  and by doing so your dog begins naturally to match your frequency because you have built trust between you.

Thank you for listening with an open mind, heart, and soul,

Vivi MJ
