Ricardo Ministro, Human-Dog Relationship

02/04/2024

With the intake of cases from last month, once again I come to understand The Major Impact of Stress in Family Dogs. It is a real and frequent issue which more often than not, is the foundation for all the unstable behaviours we see in Dogs, and perhaps, Humans too...? Food for thought.

How badly are many of Us Being Affected By Stress during our life?

Hi everyone. I am back.

In first place, I want to express my gratitude to those who showed me their support and love through the personal challenge I’ve faced a year ago.
It has been very hearth warming to read all the comments in my last post, alongside private messages and acknowledgement of my need for space.

The past year has been a very transformative one. Sometimes very tough, but very fruitful.
I went deep with the world around me, but mainly with the world inside me. Many challenges conquered and many questions answered.
Today I am a stronger, healthier and clearer being.
I am not going to get into details of my journey after my burnout and breakdown because this page is about dog behaviour, and not human spirituality… Although, if anyone out there think they will benefit from hearing my story, I am happy to share it via a private call.

Now, I am ready to re-start this mission of helping dogs, and humans.
Now, without anything to achieve or to be. But simply do, in the present moment, with love.
With the love I feel for Dogs and their lives among humans.

From now on, I will focus on improving the relationship between humans and dogs, without attachments to many of the common approaches and beliefs that are still present in this thing we call “Dog Training Industry” which has a focus and direction of its own.

I am taking a different direction, a direction which aligns with how I see the world at the present moment.
A direction that rejects the Ego, the Ambition, the Image. And instead, observes the relation between The Human and The Dog as is and works to bring Alignment into this Exchange which we call “Dog Ownership”.

The direction I am taking from now on is not about dog training, is about Education in the Interrelation on a Human-Dog Relationship. It is not about how it suits best the Human in many shapes and forms, but how it should be and feel for both sides of this relationship from a fair and compassionate point of view.

There will be many layers to peel, and I am ready for it.

Thank you for reading, and for the support!
