I use dog analogies a lot in my Courses. Here are things we can learn from a dogs behaviour!
- Learn new tricks when it suits
- Never pass up the opportunity for a joy ride
- Take naps
- Stretch before rising
- Run, romp and play daily
- Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
- Be loyal
- Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
- Never pretend to be something you’re not
- Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face
- When loved ones come home always run to greet them
- When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience
- Let others know when they have invaded your territory
- If you want what lies buried, dig until you find it
- Thrive on attention and let people touch you
- On hot days, drink lots of water and sit under a shady tree
- When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body
- No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t but into the guilt thing and pout… run right back and make friends
- Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
- When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently
