Enlightened By Dogs: Living with Cooperation, Not Obedience
What should you do when your dog won’t listen to a word you say?
It can be really frustrating when your dog seems to have developed selective hearing, but (believe it or not) your dog isn’t ignoring you on purpose!
That’s one of the great things about dogs. They aren’t spiteful or vengeful beings. They don’t go out of their way to ignore you. So, what should you do when your dog won’t listen?
On this episode of Enlightened By Dogs, Kathy reveals how you can develop a closer bond with your dog and reveals what you need to do to change your story from ‘my dog won't listen’ to my dog loves to listen!
In this episode:
Quotes:
“Our dogs are communicating their desire for what they want and what they mean.”
“We can teach them how to communicate by listening in a different way.”
“If we're going to step into our role as a guide and role model, then we've got to figure out a different way to be in the moment.”
“We want to strive for connection instead of correction.”
