~ The Dog Listener ~
DECODING DOG COMMUNICATION. CREATING CONNECTED RELATIONSHIPS.
Do you want to learn how to have a strong cooperative relationship with your dog without needing to rely on treats, toys or training??? Then keep reading!.
Hi I’m Marika incase we haven’t met. I’m the face behind The Dog Listener and it’s a bittersweet time to announce I’m excitedly embarking on a new adventure 🏔️
I will be shifting my focus from pooches to people as that’s where my heart is calling me. From dog coach ➡️ life coach!
It’s been an incredible journey over these last 10 years or so and what I’ve learnt over all is that humans today are living in such high states of stress and unaware of how much it’s effecting not only their physical health, their mental health and also their ability to enjoy life.
Living in stress and overwhelm in turn also affects their human relationships and the relationship they have with their dog which affects their mental health and behaviour too!
This is because dogs are our mirrors and their special gift is to help us see what we need to work on in our selves.
Dogs are never intentionally giving us a hard time or trying to dominate us, they simply don’t have that calculating part of their brain like humans do, they are truely pure innocent beings just as children are. They will go with the flow and take our lead when we are certain and confident in our selves and our choices and actions.
I will still be helping people with their dogs in addition to non dog moms and dads, but with a focus on the humans wellbeing, mindset and nervous system, rather then the dogs behaviour, because what I have seen is that when we focus on our selves, a lot of our dogs “issues” organically improve which is so freaking cool.
By focusing our own self improvement and influencing our dogs with our own behaviour this leads to a happier more balanced life for us and our dogs, because just like us, they are sentient and have a deep need for connection, safety, feeling heard and being accepted for who they are and don’t want to feel like they are broken and need fixing and changing.
No being wants to feel that way or be pressured into to change, no matter how high value the treat is, being truely appreciated for who we are quirks and all and accepted as who we are meets that core deep need more then any treat or praise.
That’s why focusing on the relationship we offer and the connection through genuine love, gratitude and compassion for what they struggle with is always the way forward.
It’s also the thing people find very difficult because society has programmed us to think our dogs ‘just need to behave’ and ‘just need more training’ which is so far from what they really need. Seeds are spreading and slowly we’re learning there’s a better ways of doing things but a paradigm shift takes time!
I have grown alot through this journey of starting a business and learnt so much more then I thought was possible about dogs and behaviour and then I became fascinated with human behaviour and how we work…and that taught me more about my self then I ever expected to learn.
I don’t know exactly where this adventure will take me and we can never control our future, just be open to the possibilities.
