“Do What you are doing”
Chances are, you’re reading this in a “skimming” manner.
Chances are, you’ve already checked out of trying to see “what’s the point here?”
That is the point.
How does the coffee taste that you just sipped?
Is the sun shinning through the windows? Are you slouched over in your work chair doom scrolling?
Most, if not all of the clients who have walked through the doors to train with me have heard me say this to them……..slow down.
We are plagued with INSTANT.
What I find so special working with these animals is, they don’t care about your timeline. They care about markers, timing, rewards, and consequences.
With tens of thousands, if not longer, of us humans evolving with these incredible beasts, it’s safe to say that they know when we are full of s**t.
When you’re cutting corners to multitask, when you need to spend more time laying the foundation.
There is a theory, that correlates, imperfect perfection could be responsible for visual defects due to poor brain functioning. How wild is that! It is simply a theory after all so, could be bunk. Regardless, what an impactful image, that your brains being hijacked by worry or “hurriedness” can affect the elasticity meant to accommodate vision.
I owe a great deal to these animals for ensuring, that when working with them, they force you to do what you’re doing. They don’t care about tomorrow, they don’t care that you’re hosting thanksgiving in a few months. They care about, are YOU showing the animal what and how you want the it to perform in the scenarios you’re presenting them with.
Do what you are doing.
Even if it’s starting over with your dog. Even if it’s slowing down and taking a full breath. It could be as simple as trying a new coffee shop or a different book genre, listening to the radio versus streaming, trying to convince yourself it will be okay.
Whatever it is you find yourself doing. Do what you are doing.
Lead your Dog.
