Dogs and Energy


Have you ever noticed your dog picking up on your mood? When you’ve been crying, has 
your furry friend then come up to you with a friendly lick or a wagging tail? When you’re angry, does your dog become sheepish and avoid you? When you’re happy, surely you notice your dog responding with happiness too. Like children, your dogs are a reflection of you. Their life revolves around you, you are their leader and source of food and comfort. What you feel, your dog feels.
You may notice that when your dog does something naughty, it frustrates you. Maybe every time you walk past the neighbour’s dog behind its gate, your dog barks and pulls towards it, making you angry and annoyed. Then the next time you approach this same house, you begin that familiar feeling of frustration as you anticipate your dog’s reaction. What you may not realize, as many people are in denial about, is that you are triggering your dog’s reaction through your energy. Whether you’re vocalizing it or not, your dog’s strong sense of instinct picks up on what you are feeling and does the same.
So after one naughty event with your dog, you continue to approach that situation with the same negative energy, causing your dog to act accordingly and reflect your negative energy every time. If you are able to understand this concept of energy, and change the type of feeling which you give off during these situations, you can dramatically help your dog in snapping out of this habit.

If a person doesn’t have a lot of confidence, the energy they give off is weak, which animals can pick up on. This is how predators pick out the weakest prey to hunt, through the energy it gives off. So if you are trying to lead your dog with commands which aren’t from your gut, and with lack of confidence, the dog will pick up on your weak energy and just ignore you. But if you can see yourself as being more powerful than the dog, no matter what it’s size, the dog will feel your strong energy overpowering its own and actually be drawn to your leadership. When you can confidently see yourself as being the superior master over your dog and truly feel and believe it, your energy will overpower them as this tells them that you are the leader of their pack and they do what they’re told.

 If you can believe that you are more powerful than your dog and keep a true feeling of calm and assertive energy, your dog will feel this and will see you as its master, following your every command.

Dogs need jobs.

Dogs need a job. There is no doubt about it. No matter what the breed they all have a need to work. More to the point, they need to work for pack leader. So since we live in town how can we provide jobs for our dogs? It's easy. Biking, Rollerblading and treadmills are all great ways to provide for this working need within the dog. Hiding the dogs food at dinner time a making them go find it is another great way. Simple things like walking them wearing a dog backpack filled with rocks, having them pull you on rollerblades, sending them through an agility course or any other hard-working task they love will make them feel fulfilled and stop them from looking for other sources to release their energy like ripping the couch apart or digging trenches in the yard. By providing this need for your dog you will create a bond with them that you have never had before.  Most important of all: Leadership is true love to your dog :) Get to it pack leaders and go find those jobs.
