CAN WE? The Elemental Questions Webinar Series

Description

Crafting a True Partnership

The reasons we share our lives with dogs are many. Whether our goals are lofty – titles, championships – or no grander than the immense pleasure of a dog walking with us, we all share the desire for a true partnership.

How do we get there?

This Elemental Question looks at the complex dynamics of dog/human relationships. Whatever the dog’s abilities or limits, who we are and what abilities and limits we have will affect what we can do together.

As with any healthy relationship, our willingness to be honest with ourselves is just as important as understanding our partner the dog. “Can we . . .?” looks at the intersection of who the dog is, who we are, and how that can help or hinder our partnership.

Key Concepts:

• Self-Assessment: We need to assess our personal strengths, weaknesses, and how they intersect with the animal’s abilities.
• Aligning Goals: We are truly positive and humane when we set realistic, shared objectives that respect our mutual capabilities and preferences.
• Where Are the Fireflies? Identifying the strongest aspects of our relationship, and how those support our goals.
• Building & Repairs: What is missing? What’s getting in our way or hindering our growth? What changes need to be made?
• Adjustment & Acceptance: As our dogs change, as we change, as life hands us challenges, “Can we . . .” is a question we revisit often, making adjustments, finding acceptance along the way.

This Elemental Question is interested in being as honest about ourselves, our dogs and our relationships as dogs are about life. No right, no wrong, just clear-eyed appraisal about what is, what isn’t, and what is possible with adjustments or change.
