I love Brene Brown’s definition of empathy: “Empathy is connecting with people so we know we're not alone when we're in struggle. 🤝 is a way to connect to the emotion another person is experiencing; it doesn't require that we have experienced the same situation they are going through.” ❤️

Extending Brene Brown's definition of empathy to our relationships with our dogs and other "pawrents" involves understanding and acknowledging their emotions without imposing our own biases or experiences onto the situation. 🐾

When it comes to our relationship with our furry companions, empathy means recognizing and accepting their emotions and responses, even if they differ from what we might feel in similar circumstances. It involves tuning into their cues, body language, and behavior to understand their perspective, needs, and feelings. For instance, it's about recognizing when our pets are anxious, scared, or excited, and responding to those emotions with understanding and support. 🐶😺😊

Empathy in our interactions with other "pawrents" and their pets entails being attuned to their experiences without superimposing our assumptions or judgments. It involves acknowledging and validating their feelings and perspectives concerning their dogs, even if they might differ from our own. It's about understanding that every pet-parent relationship is unique, and what works for one might not work for another. 🌟🐕‍🦺💭

In both scenarios, practicing empathy involves:

Active Listening: Paying attention to the emotions and signals of both our pets and other "pawrents" without imposing our preconceived notions or judgments.

Validation: Accepting and acknowledging the emotions and experiences of our pets or other "pawrents," even if they differ from our own or what we might expect.

Support: Responding to their emotions or needs with compassion, care, and understanding, and providing appropriate support or reassurance.

Respecting Differences: Acknowledging that each pet and "pawrent" relationship is unique, and refraining from projecting our own experiences onto others. 🤲👂👥🙌

By embodying empathy in our interactions with our furry friends and other "pawrents," we create a space of understanding, validation, and support, fostering healthier and more fulfilling relationships built on respect and compassion. 🐾❤️🤗

New Year, New Skills: Tackling New Habits Side by Side! 🐾🌟

The article "How Long Does It Really Take to Form a Habit?" by Jocelyn Solis-Moreira challenges the myth that habits form in just 21 days. Instead, habit formation is a highly individual process, with the time required varying significantly among different people.

Key points include:

👉🏻Myth of 21 Days: The idea that it takes 21 days to form a habit is traced back to a 1960 self-help book by Maxwell Maltz. However, this was more an observation than a scientifically proven fact.

👉🏻Individual Differences: Habit formation is unique to each person. Factors such as the complexity of the habit and individual commitment play a significant role.

👉🏻Research Findings: A study by Phillippa Lally revealed that it takes anywhere from 18 to 254 days to form a habit, with an average of 66 days. The study emphasised the importance of daily repetition.

👉🏻Complexity Matters: Simpler tasks, like handwashing, can become habitual faster than more complex ones, like regular exercise.

👉🏻Maintaining Consistency: Strategies to maintain habits include creating specific plans, using immediate rewards, and pairing the habit with a consistent cue.

👉🏻Flexibility in Approach: It's normal to miss a day or two in the process. Adjusting the difficulty of the task can help in gradually building up to the original goal.

The article concludes that habit formation is not a rigid process but rather a flexible one that varies with each individual's circumstances and efforts.

🚨‼️But what does that have to do with dog training you might ask?!?

Applying this to the behaviour of our dogs, especially in learning to come when called and ignoring distractions, it becomes clear that patience and understanding are crucial for pawrents. Dogs, like humans, have unique timelines for habit formation. Training a dog to learn a new skill and to respond to a cue like for example coming when called involves not just the repetition of the cue but also managing distractions. It’s a complex skill, potentially taking longer to become a habit.

The presence of distractions makes the task more challenging, requiring more effort and consistency from both the pawrent and the dog.

The environment plays a significant role; creating a setting conducive to learning can help speed up the process. Immediate rewards and consistent, positive reinforcement are essential. If a dog associates the cue with something enjoyable, it’s more likely to respond despite distractions.

It’s also important to adjust expectations and be flexible. If a dog struggles with a certain level of distraction, reducing the difficulty and gradually increasing it can help. Consistency is key, but so is adaptability.

In summary, forming a new habit, whether in humans or dogs, is not a one-size-fits-all process. It requires patience, consistency, and a tailored approach to individual needs and circumstances.

🎃🐾 Halloween is fun, but it’s key to keep our furry friends safe! Here are some top tips for your dogs this Halloween: 1️⃣ **#IndoorSafetyFirst**: Keep dogs in a quiet room, away from the front door to prevent stress or escape. 2️⃣ **#CostumeComfort**: Ensure costumes are comfy and don’t restrict movement or breathing. Avoid small parts that could be choking hazards. 🎭😍 3️⃣ **#DecorationAwareness**: Keep decorations like candles, lights, or cords out of reach to avoid accidents. 🚫🎃 4️⃣ **#TreatSafety**: Chocolate and candy are toxic to dogs. Keep them out of reach and give dog-safe treats instead! 🍬🐶 5️⃣ **#IdentificationMatters**: Check that ID tags and microchip info are current. This helps if your dog escapes. 👀💼 6️⃣ **#NoiseManagement**: Fireworks and doorbells can be overwhelming. Play calming music or keep dogs in a quiet space. 🎶😴 7️⃣ **#TrickOrTreatSafety**: If your dog goes trick-or-treating, keep them on a leash and watch their stress levels. 🎃🏮 8️⃣ **#RespectTheirComfort**: If your dog dislikes costumes, don’t force it. A festive bandana works just as well! 🙅🦴 Keep your dogs safe this Halloween by following these simple tips! 🐶❤️🎃 #BiancasDogTraining #LearnToSpeakDog #Halloween #Halloween2024 #halloweendecor #halloweencostume
