We are sending them out all the time, through our vibrations (feelings), and with our body language.
To invite such a sensitive being like a dog (or a child) into our unique way of living in this world, means that we have a duty towards them:
It is up to us, to reflect and learn the unspoken words, that neither child nor dog can explain.
For us as adults, this responsibly can often become too complex, daunting or overwhelming...and at this point, there is no shame in us turning towards our peers & professionals for their level of understanding, guidance and support, throughout this delicate journey.
There is no such thing as bad behaviour... just a misunderstanding or miscommunication, which leads to a lack of trust in what we are doing.
