When Boston's human first contacted me she described him looking like a messy black scribble. Then she sent a photo and I saw that he is the spitting image of Hairy Maclary - protagonist of many children's books by Lynley Dodd. 🤗😊
Boston's human was looking for help with his seemingly unpredictable behaviour towards other dogs, pulling on the lead and familiarizing him with a crate.
Much has changed over our three sessions via Zoom. As a beautiful bonus Boston now loves to sit on his human's knee. What's so special about that?
Well ... during our first session his human confessed that it irked her that Boston would often hop on visitors' knees for a cuddle but never on hers. She felt a bit confused and a little hurt by that. It all makes sense to her now! Animals and humans are able to perceive each other's inner state. Boston's human has a very busy mind - the opposite of restful.
With the aid of the Trust Technique she has learned to be calmer, more quiet inside her head. So much so that Boston now loves to sit on her knee! 💖
It's heartening to witness my clients discovering new depths in their relationship with their animal. Of course, improving and solving the problems is great but they usually take way so much more. ⭐
Now look at the two images below and how much they look alike - Boston and Hairy Maclary - even down to their cheeky eyes! 😁
