Pictures are worth a thousand words

Pictures are worth a thousand words, meaning each person who sees a picture interprets it in their own unique way. I took this photo above while on vacation in North Carolina. To me this photo has a gorgeous Asian architecture feel to it. With the sunset, water, blazes profile, and the pergola it feels peaceful to me and it is my favorite photo of the vacation.

Our dogs see their world IN images and the words to describe the images are translated into energies and stored in their memory rolodex. Each time they have an experience that matches something from their memory rolodex they immediately feel the energy that was associated with that image when it was stored. Most of these energy experiences are a direct result of how WE feel and what WE project to our dogs. 

Dogs live in their Now everyday. They do not dwell in the past and they do not try to jump into the future, they simply love each day as a new day and continue to build new images. We can change the energy associated with those images if we just change our energy. This is explained further down.

Dogs are a direct energy reflection of our energy. So if your dog is reactive chances are strong that you have a reactive energy, if your dogs are anxious chances are you have an anxious energy, if your dog is confident chances are you have a confident energy. It’s sometimes hard to believe that WE are the cause of our dogs experiences.

Often you will hear someone say their dog does not like "men in hats", "short women", "skateboarders", "people with deep voices", "the delivery person". These are just not true.

The dog doesn’t like that man in a hat because the image he has stored in his memory rolodex and the energy associated with it is a negative one. This is because when that image was formed we somehow made the dog feel they had to experience that energy a certain way and in this case it was a negative energy.  Why? Maybe because at the time the dog was young and the man approached quickly startling the dog and the dog barked so instead of just allowing the dog to get a proper energy image we pulled the dog back and we ourselves got nervous/embarrassed and this translated to a negative energy to our dogs. If you believe that your dog is going to react to men in hats then they WILL react to men in hats because your energy forced them too. 

The dog doesn’t like skateboarders, bicycles, the ups truck. The dog doesn’t like the rushed energy of these things. Everything and everyone has an energy field around them and that energy is moving at the pace we are going. When an energy field is moving at a fast pace our dogs are charged by it. If they are in a calm state of mind based off your energy this movement won’t affect them but if you are in a rushed energy state or the dog is too far ahead of you then the dog will react and try to slow down or stop that fast paced energy.

You can change your dogs way of being just by your energy state.  The best way to gauge our energy state is by the way we feel. If we feel good our energy will be calm, if we feel content/acceptance our energy will be neutral, if we feel annoyed, frustrated, angry, anxious then our energy will be charged and negative.
