The other morning we got out for a crack of dawn walk, sometimes on this wonderful hour we get to meet those that try to avoid busy times, or any other dogs.
I was hoping Dana would do a morning dew rub on video, it does look so much fun! To my surprise we got a wonderful greeting straight away, sadly the owner was calling on deaf ears and not happy about it!
Walking towards him I turn off diagonally, hoping the dog would go join its pack. As I walked to the other side of an old golf course, the dog came back! A very happy Dana got to go play again..
I thought I'd walk the dog back to him, he didn't look that bothered, he tried to call the dog a couple of times and stop there....so I asked if he want to put the dog on a lead, he went straight into saying about most people have a go at him...
My first words were: "probably because you don't have control of your dog." He started to tense up, "you obviously don't know dogs" telling me his dog was fine! It's a very special case to train (aren't we all?)
I tried not to match his vibration and replied...
"NO! it is demanding, the wise old boy (Jack) had to put him in his place."
Training no dog is easy and nothing helps a dog learn more than another dog, at this point he actually stopped and said that's a fair point! But why does everyone have pop at me? He asked...
Again I said it needed to be put on a training lead, his reply was but "he's 6 and to old for that" I didn't hand him a card.
The day before someone also told me that their breed of dog does not listen until they are 3 years old...
I get told many things that people believe and with all the old passed on theories about animals behaviour or correcting it. As free as we are to make those choices, each outcome is uniquely different.
Dogs are following their rules, it's just us that's forever trying to understand it! Forgetting our own blue print of clear body language and the energy that surrounds it...
We still go to puppy classes thinking we need to teach them!
In my opinion theses wonderful animals are slowly condition by our beliefs, and with this comes an illusion of a Doctor Dolittle World!
For if we truly cared and understood them, there would not be a banned breed, so many in shelters (with no chance of parole), need for rehabilitation or put to sleep.
I don't know how I got here, although most of my life I have struggled not to break our human rules. I'm now at a point I feel my purpose was never to agree with them all along.
From a little nobody wanting nothing more than watch my children grow, I thank my son and humanity's labelling 10 years ago.
My reality got shifted to show what vibration I was giving, now everyday I listen better to natures little warnings. We over think and get lost in the infinite amount of advice, forgetting in our instincts is the knowledge of life.
They are my teachers, I just want to pass the message on. Hoping one day this ripple will help bring balance and harmony to us all!
Not top of the food chain but more the spiritual ball, where we know we do the worse damage yet let the programming continues.
This is my passion & pursue that I was close to giving up, all because I still thought I'm not good enough. Not for the dogs but for most humans as all our realities are our own.
I'm no longer afraid to make mine more known, pushing past any judgement, criticism or going unnoticed . All things help growth, I can't stop what I started.
This is my first blog with my all my spirit for this job, and a step towards me doing a met up once a week for anyones Q & A.
Even if you don't own a dog, life is truly different to think their way!

- Comment from author about the poem: I have been concentrating on work lately and yesterday I step more out of my comfort zone to see if I could give more back and it was happily accepted. Leaving school at 14 and just working I spent all of my life just using verbal communication, in the last five years I've slowly got more confidence. Thanks to all over the years that read my tracks but most importantly, thanks for sharing all yours so our inspiration can help shape those inner worlds.

Good write Dan.
Thank you for your time buddy
I wholly agree that we can learn much from our four-footed friends Dan - - I am forever watching and picking up instincts from Tessa my beautiful dog.......... love every bit of your exposure of those who think they know better....... thanks for sharing the video too.
Yes to watch and learn, I have hard time not coming across like I know better.
The proof is in the pudding and there's alot of bad weather....
I'm sure your wonderful mind gets me, always appreciate your time.
Much peace and respect
Ah Dan! Its the owners that need training. You see it with horse riders BIG time. Who invariably end up putting a horse down because its walking funny! Problem with dog owners is that they anthropomorthicise their pet. Dogs dont understand human language, well except my bellsyboos because she is smarter than smart!
Never released I replied into the wrong box my friend!
Sorry to here your trip was hellish
Anthropomorthicise, I do love saying that on "some" training sessions...To most of looks like I have just said supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...
Not sure if you was testing me at the end their but if so I shall say we all see the unique qualities we need to lol
Thank you so much for your vibe it gives me much needed hope to not lose myself in this twisted world of mine!
Much peace and respect
'I'm no longer afraid
to make mine more known, pushing
past any judgement, criticism or going unnoticed .
All things help growth,
I can't stop what I started.'
missed your voice, lately
so I went hunting and uncovered this gem
I think this may be where it all started
hopefully it will gift you a reminder
on those busy days, when you haven't time enough
to take a second to realise: you're doing
something you have a passion for
one of those rare gifts of life, we take for granted
far, too often..
hope all is well, dear poet
I've come here after starting my day 4:30am today, the crack of dawn! Your humbling words and vibe has been sitting with me all week!
I can truly never thank you enough for helping me be proud to be me!
It ain't all the time but I'm beginning to have more shine and it can only be because awesome souls like you connect in rhyme!
Take care my friend.
