Why
The Human Animal Bond
Since our animals can reflect our emotional state, imagine the energy that they invest when we are stressed about them. Wouldn't it feel better to know that you have the tools to do this work for yourself so that you are able to help in any situation they encounter?
This is a skill for your first aid kit!
Our animals have learned how to get our attention and how to show us they need something. They have learned how we work. How could we take the signs and feelings they give us and use that information to solve our own obstacles?
With the skill of being present with ourselves and our animals together, comes the ability to take action from a place of connection versus reactivity and panic. Having animals just got a lot less stressful!
Another benefit is the ability to make grounded decisions that are in alignment with the relationship and what the animal needs. to better understand their animals. I am not making decisions for them nor am I giving specific "fix it" type advice. I need to find a way to say this without using "you" as that can be accusatory or stimulate a defensive reaction.
