Your Dog Mirrors Your Energy

When you look at your dog’s behavior or health, what do you see reflected back at you? Don’t just respond negatively here. Think about it, even if it’s uncomfortable.

Our dogs are often a mirror reflection of our own selves. We may not even be aware of it. You may think I’m crazy. I’m not.

Look closely and evaluate this.

• Consider conflict management.

• High energy responses to stress

• Restless, ungrounded, unsettled

• Trust issues or insecurity

• Relationship challenges

• Even health issues

It may not be direct in your face reflection. But just consider the possibility.

Next time you’re frustrated with your dog, or his behavior is not good, pause and ask how “you” are feeling in that moment, and the time just before.

What was the energy you brought to your activity with the dog. The energy in your house.

And most importantly, what will you do now?
