(Third and final part of this idea, you can find part one here , part two here )
course it is not my intention, our dogs with their feelings, especially their fear to leave her alone . On the contrary.
in ourselves, in other people, with my dog and other dogs, I try aware of two steps to go.
First, I look back (which sometimes, especially when it comes to ourselves, requires courage). I'm going to see and try to describe to name - but not too cheap. I try to see what there is.
It is there.
The fear, the anger, the sadness, the love, the despair, the anger, the desire - they are there. They are also there when I screw up the eyes. Then they find another way to express themselves.
I look at them, try to name them and rate them. I say, "This dog is afraid of the popping sound," "I 'm mad at you, "" You seem in love with me "
consider separately in a second step deliberately from the first, I -. possibly with others - what I or we want to do with these feelings can we. can allow wait be there, they fade? Do we have to do something, is it unbearable? Do we want to share it, they say, to express them? Do we want to wrestle them?
Why is it me to separate important as that?
Because I often observe that an emotion - is already convicted before one has ever taken the time - for themselves and others, in humans and dogs to look at. Man ashamed of his fear, condemned the aggression of his dog.
humans and dogs have feelings about the world. This makes sense and is justified. It helps us in learning and survival, it does it make what we call a "sense of vitality," and it is a prerequisite for the feeling of familiarity and friendship - having people like that of a man with a dog. These feelings are not always pleasant. Neither we nor our dogs like the cliche-Labrador only happy, tail wagging and always expecting the best of the world.
And that's okay.
This is That's what I my dog, myself trying other people and their dogs to convey. You have these feelings. This is in order. Thou must have. And now we see what we do with it.
wrong and also dangerous as it seems to me to teach yourself a dog or another person: Your feelings are wrong .
So I try to say Okay, you're afraid of the New Year's Eve firecrackers. I see your fear, I'll take you and your fear was. What we do now with this fear? To what extent you can help yourself? What can I do that it is tolerable for you? I know that the show lasts about two hours, I know when it reaches its climax, as I can tell you this Knowledge help?
My dog is not like New Year's Eve. He does not want me to 0h on the road. But I want that he is unharmed, that he is not traumatized that he does not suffer unreasonable, and that our relationship is not damaged.
