EBD019 How to Be Your Dog’s Superhero
Manage episode 217461589 series 2334484
Do you ever feel like you need superpowers to manage everything in your life? This episode goes deep into how to be our dog’s superhero!
We fulfill the role as a parent, a teacher, a coach, a dog partner in activities that we do together, like dog sports, therapy, and work.
We are our dog’s friend and companion, and we are our dogs' student.
That is a lot of hats to wear!
There is a lot of complexity to our relationship with our dogs, and I think that complexity is one of the reasons that we have difficulty in some situations.
First realizing that we are fulfilling all those different roles, then understanding what they are is a great place to start.
In This Episode
- The roles we play in our dog’s life
- Becoming a good teacher
- What qualities matter to you and your dog?
- Being a true friend to your dog
“We fulfill the role as parent, teacher, coach, partner in all the activities we do together”
“We can also into overwhelm and get stressed, and that can make our life more challenging than it needs to be” "There is a lot of complexity to our relationship with our dogs, and I think that complexity is one of the reasons that we have difficulty in some situations."
“There is so much more to it than being our dog's trainer.”
“You are responsible for teaching your dog the steps”
“We can just be ourselves when we’re amongst true friends”
