(New highly reactive case)
It's always OK at times to acknowledge the days or moments when we choose to go around a problem or the other way, this is not avoidance, its listening to our body and energies needs.
This only becomes a problem when it becomes the norm, to the point we ourselves get anxious over the tigger! To then start planning all our lives around the issues and can even result in more arising that was never there or just get worse when faced with the stimulate that triggers the behaviour.
Each dog is unique and needs their own approach but mostly so do the humans of the pack, this is why I don't really like being called a dog trainer. I don't train them, I block, use redirection, ride the waves with them and wait for that "magical" moment of returning back to balance.
For a person to step into that brave but vulnerable space, to see the difference their energy creates, is my main goal. As for each one helps me push my own moments to not avoid what needs to be done, as we can all need a little help along lifes path.
As I've recently hired someone just to teach me how to breathe (yoga) and I have no shame in saying it felt silly but yet that first week or two felt amazing, although I'm slowly making reason to not have the time, I'm also still doing more than I did, with this a new pattern begins, step by step and inch by inch.
Everything counts, so be kind to ourselves and make sure to never give up or ask for help.
There is always someone ready to listen or point the way.

Amen! brother
keep singing your Truth
ain't nothing else more rewarding in life
thanks for including us in your journey, dear Poet
(hope your back pain got better)
Ha! Thank you for listening my friend and truly makes me feel blessed. The back comes and goes but so much better than it was, I honestly can't believe the way it has helped. It's just finding the energy to keep it up or use the new technique when I can't control my emotions.
One day at a time, always appreciate yours!
Hi Dan - Life is a constant struggle to stay balanced isn't it - and just when we are perfect, we die! Your comments about being a dog trainer sound a lot like my husband's approach with horses (he was a horseman professional) - and very good with difficult horses because he didn't "force" them but was totally aware of their individual fears and problems and always brought them around. Your comments reminded me of him.
Hey, yes it is very much the same and I believe it to be an art form. I actually got bit twice that week by two different dogs that most have said there is no hope.... Not in their time scale, nature has its own and what most are to afraid to admit ask also so sensitive to the environment that we are a huge part of!
The owner of this dog is another female and what strong beautiful soul but caught up in a horrible pattern and life not the same as it once was!
Thank you so much for the opening statement because it truly is that, hardest part of accepting that it's pointless and just have fun along the way.
Always appreciated
That's the spirit mate .. 'never give up' is easy to say but not always easy to do or follow ... But and its a BIG BUT mind, if ya do .. it does gets easier and the naff days dont then seem so frequent or severe ... I love hearing about what you do with our doggy friends .. tis a gift sir .... so remember .. ya gotta take the woof with the smooth ............ 🙂
Ha ha ha. Brilliant I may print that last one on a top, love it!
Thanks for the support my friend truly appreciate
You ain't doing so bad are you old son? Another excellent video, what a remarkable transformation in that animal - all down to your empathy and strength of character.
Not really buddy and this was a fantastic job, she still tags me but yesterday I got the owner to do this walk and that my friend was where the golden moments are, to watch an unsure person gain the confidence and see the tears of joy and the breath of life may not be as bad as they thought.
In that I always find my own! Truly appreciate your time
