Description
In this episode Kathy explores the nuanced communication between dog moms and their dogs, emphasizing the importance of understanding and reframing our perceptions of our dogs' behaviors. Kathy shares the idea that behaviors we often interpret as disobedience or refusal are actually our dogs communicating their unmet needs. She advocates for a shift from correction to connection, suggesting that listening and engaging in a dialogue with our dogs can lead to a deeper understanding and a more harmonious relationship. Kathy offers practical advice on becoming a guide for our dogs by establishing clear, kind communication and developing a lifestyle that fosters mutual respect and understanding. Key takeaways from this episode include: Reframing Perception: Viewing behaviors not as defiance but as communication of unmet needs. Building Connection: Focusing on creating a circle of safety and trust rather than correcting behaviors. Role Modeling: Being a guide for our dogs through clear communication and heart-to-heart connection. Lifestyle Approach: Treating interactions as part of a lifestyle, not isolated training sessions. Plan and Progress: Developing plans with our dogs to address behaviors, focusing on progress, not perfection. Kathy's insights encourage us to approach our relationships with our dogs with empathy, understanding, and patience, fostering a deeper bond and a more joyful life together.
