PERSPECTIVE: I preach about perspective all the time. Most people cant or won't consider a perspective outside their own. Perspective is based on knowledge, experience and life phases. I urge you to see or consider the dog's perspective at every lesson. Some lessons I remind people of how much they say "I" that they're missing there's another perspective involved in that conversation. One that is not aware of your emotions, your goals, your experiences or is even privey to the same knowledge, advantages or reasoning that you have. You can't force a dog to see life from your perspective but you can remind yourself to consider the perspective of the brain on the other end of the leash. I included a video of Moose's butt to prove a point; many would see Moose climbing on a rock gaining confidence and new experiences. Some might notice myself coaching him, encouraging him. Others might notice those around us observing or even those around that are completely unaware of such things even taking place. But how many would consider the perspective of the fish in the tank chasing Moose's tail as though it were bait up and down the glass. Their perspective is just as valid as anyone else's.
