In an era of reels, I had totally forgotten about the importance of images in our lives.
Found an old photo of my cousin from 9 years back almost.
It was at our native place where we were working on a territorial Doberman, I had just started working with dogs with issues as a hobby and I was learning at that time and I still am. Cause,
Learning never stops!
Now when Dog Mantra happened, it took me on a completely different journey, from being a hobby and passion to converting it into a full time work and profession. My cousin visited me this week and she was bored at home so I decided to take her to one of my sessions and , being "Khushi", clicked this picture and reminded me to see how the time passed by so much, but the energy is still the same ( Calm & Confident)
Yes, I have learnt plenty of things over the years about dogs and humans and if I make things look easy, it is only because I have put in the hard work and my efforts of almost a decade. So, if you think you can simply be able to make your dog normal by a couple of sessions, then it's not going to work. It's a lifestyle that you have to make, do it passionately and work on yourself to bring in the change. Only then you can build a relationship with your dog and also become a true knowledgeable dog lover and help your community.
For professionals too, if you have recently taken certification or shadowed some professionals for a few months, please dont act like you "know it all"!
I would recommend every dog behaviour enthusiast to work or volunteer in NGOs where you get real raw cases and lots of experiences. But right knowledge and experience matters a lot. A piece of paper can't define who you are, at least not here in the dog world! The dogs don't know that you've just finished a course, they feel your energy. Do courses, read books, watch videos, gain knowledge but also learn how to apply it, when to apply it and where to apply it.
Very Proud to share this memory with you guys!
Stay tuned!
