Your dog can be your teacher to bring you to the Present moment.
There is never failure, just lessons and opportunity.
Attaching to the future outcome causes stress in the present moment. Thus, success = coming back to the present.
If I am present with my dog, there is Harmony.
Disharmony = arguing with what is happening.
There are no bad dogs, just dogs that are looking for guidance.
"Why" is my dog aggressive is the question that has no end and no purpose. The dog is aggressive. This is a fact. The better question is "How can I guide my dog in this moment".
Your dog is living in the present moment. Watch her when she plays, when she is greeting you, when she is meeting another dog, when she is eating. The only moment that exists for her is Now.
"Will my dog always be aggressive?" This question brings you stress. Stay here in this moment, and guide your dog. He will show you the way.
Training your dog is a way of life. It is not just about the down stay. It is about being Centered, being in the Present Moment, and being in tune with your dog.
When your dog is not responding or is aggressive, this is exciting! Because this is the opportunity to show him the way!
Breathe, Slow down, and Slow down, and Slow down.
