Ep24 - What Dogs Have Taught Me (Four-Legged Therapists For People!)

Taking a break from our usual Q&A episode, this week Panos sits down by himself to mull over what dogs have taught him in his many years of working alongside these majestic creatures. In these uncertain times that bring increased anxiety, dogs have the ability to take us out of our HEADS and bring us more into our BODIES. Anxiety is a fear of the unknown FUTURE - while dogs can bring us into the PRESENT!  We teach dogs to live in our society, while our dogs teach us to live in the now. Being present is a side effect to this understanding. Keeping up with routine with our dogs even though you can slip out of yours. If you have training goals with your dog, the ritual of training and practice is further strengthening your discipline with a new skill, project or goals of our own. Dogs are optimistic, and this encourages us to be more positive even when we feel down and out. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!
