Being your dogs’ superhero isn’t all fun and games!
Do you ever feel like you need to be your dogs’ superhero with superpowers to manage everything in your life? This episode goes deep into how to be our dogs’ superhero!
We fulfill the role of a parent, a teacher, a coach, a dog partner in activities that we do together, like dog sports, therapy, and work.
We are our dog’s friend and companion, and we are our dogs’ student.
That is a lot of hats to wear!
There is a lot of complexity to our relationship with our dogs, and I think that complexity is one of the reasons that we have difficulty in some situations.
First realizing that we are fulfilling all those different roles, then understanding what they are is a great place to start.
