How to Have the Perfect Relationship with Your Dog - Part 1

The Dog

Dogs are born balanced and only know calm, assertive energy, which they receive from their Mother. They need structure and discipline in their lives and if they feel you are not leading them, they will lead you. 

If you react in a frustrated way to your dog, they view this as weakness. If you are nervous or anxious around your dogs, they view this as you being unstable. They look to us to be strong calm leaders, where they always know they can depend on us to guide them through any situation. This in turn creates trust, loyalty and respect.

The Human

Because humans and dogs are different species, we must remember that their needs are different to ours. We live our daily lives guided by equality, but a dog needs to know you are their guardian. A guardian who leads in a gentle but firm way, just as you would with a child. 

Some humans share nervous, anxious, emotional, frustrated or weak energy with their dog, which to them is completely unnatural. Your dog will then mirror the exact energy you are giving them. 

The only energy to share is that of a calm leader, consistently.

Calm

Living in todays world can bring with it many pressures and worries, which can lead to us sometimes showing anxious and frustrated behaviours. 

While we are at times worried about 101 things we forget to realize how important it is to practice relaxation in some form and quieten the mind . This can be yoga, meditation or even sitting in a quite room for five minutes each day and enjoying complete silence. Then and only then can you completely 100% connect with the dog in your life, on their natural level. 

As well as your dog, the people in your life will also notice a positive change within you. A level where you are totally calm and exhibiting leadership qualities. This is the same energy that their Mothers so successfully communicated to them from birth.
