One of the main lessons Kathy has learned from dogs over the years is that you can find the truth in your dogs’ reflections of your own behavior. In this episode of Enlightened by Dogs, she explores how we can become better dog moms through practicing compassion, kindness, empathy, and clarity. Interspecies cooperation doesn’t come from heavy obedience training, compliance, and transacting. Kathy reveals the true recipe for cooperation and tips on how to build a stronger relationship with our beloved dogs. In this episode: Why ‘together is better’ How to build strong interspecies cooperation Finding a balance of traditional masculine and feminine qualities Quotes: “Dogs serve as our noses, our ears, and our courage when we need their assistance. We serve as their advocates in this human-centric life that we share. We are teachers, friends, and companions for one another.” “This lifetime partnership that we have creates a magical circle of reciprocity like a perfect arrangement that holds the promise of guiding us humans to become ever more enlightened, through the pure reflection that our dogs mirror back to us.” “Interspecies cooperation does not come from training, obedience, expecting compliance, controlling resources, or transacting. It comes from empathy, compassion, kindness, clarity, and it starts with us through self-awareness, mindfulness, and self-empowerment.” Want More of Kathy?
