In taking this introductory course I realized it is not about forcefully teaching animals, what a juxtaposition that is. And instead it is decreasing my thinking level and reactiveness where the space opens up to deliver this space as an option for the animal to enter this space with you. It is quite magical. The work with my own animal is bearing fruit already, My biggest obstacle is my thinking I have knowledge of how to teach the my dog how to act at any given circumstance. The more I give in to the lessened thinking levels, and give up on knowing what to do, the more my own dog learns how to behave.
