The 3 reactive ways Shared between animals and humans
(Past level 8 is potentially dangerous!)
--> the resolve is the same: the human brings down the thinking levels of the animal by reducing it's own thinking levels
Regard= you stop any level of pressure
When you bring an animals mind down (with mindful regard), it's not the goal to make them sleepy, it is an honouring of the process they go through
a lot of the trust does not always come from the present moment; the trust comes from the regard
always invite! (we so easily go over the invite; cf. if you want a long lasting relationship, it's worth to go an have dinner together several times...)
What we're doing by constantly asking a dog to come and sit, is we're constantly bringing them back into our feeling.
Peace, patience and persistence: peace is the present moment, patience is the ability to allow that being to be exactly who they are at that time without showing any reaction (also when the animal shows aggressive behavior), persistence is to carry on the peace and the patience
There is no need to hold the animal tight (on a rope), ever: it provokes that the energy of the animal comes up. (preferably: loop-hand -that is always open and shows a beautiful energy- and hold-hand)
You don't have to be present with an animal to build trust: you have to work with regard.
When a dog barks aggressively and nobody reacts, it's just 'him on him', like somebody's arguing and you don't say anything back. But when somebody does react: it's reinforcing the dog's behavior.Â
You can use the PM also, not to let the dog come down, but to not-react yourself.Â
You can only teach your dog to be right in the right environment (dwz stel dat je hond erg reactief is naar voorbijgangers: je kan nooit in die mate oefenen met mensen die je vraagt niet-reactief te reageren; je moet je hond 'gewoon' leren om ok te zijn met mensen in de buurt.) Don't worry beforehand! Even if you react and the dog also reacts, you get present afterwards and then you show your dog you can be peaceful with it.Â
If you are ok with your dog's behavior, then he is (behaves) ok.
Barking = holding tensions in de jaws, so it's also .
Some animals, take a long time to go from level 2 to 0; others take a long time to go from 8 to 6, but once they're below 5, they come down really quickly.
Blinking slowly with the eyes, shows confidence (you show you don't have to be vigilant)
PM is very strong. Much easier to do to much PM, than not enough.
Mindful regard (= listening state) turns to trusted cooperation.
