Hey lovely souls, So there won't be a recording of the group call today. Mainly because it was just such a lovely space where people shared their vulnerabilities, joys, frustrations, hopes, tips (e.g You don't have to sit on a cactus! 🌵 @Jane Purdon - you legend) and love for their dogs. I did guide a meditation at the end, but I might just record it as an ongoing tool and put it in the resource section. So yeah, I'm beyond grateful for everyone showing up and helping me with this movement. I deeply believe in my heart that the world will be a better place if we use the love for our dogs as a way to stay present, kind and strong. Especially in times like this. So thank you from the bottom of my heart @Jane Purdon , @Melanie Sweeney , @Donata Jones for joining me this morning and creating such a lovely space. 🙏🏼💛 If you haven't joined our group call, please come along. We all seemed to feel lighter and more resilient after the call. 😍 Or if you know anyone who you think would be great to network with, please put us in touch. Much love, Birdy & Pax

So I’m thinking of starting recording meditations for dog lovers…. Please tell me: -what would be worth your time listening to? - what would be helpful? - what is your experience with meditation? Thank you - have a lovely day 💛🙏

Hello lovely people, I just wanted so let you know if you love dog training, like serious dog training, you should check out @Pat Stuart’s Serious Dog Business here on Skool. Sooooo many great freebies! So go and check it our if you haven’t yet.🤩

I love my dogs. I love them with all my heart. But they are old and they are pretty much beyond the phase in life where they do anything you could really call "Dog taining". BUT....... I am a dog trainer. I really really love training dogs. Of course I get to do that everyday, I live somewhat vicariously through others. Whether online or in person, hardly a day goes by where I'm not analysing a dogs behaviour, movement, action etc and thinking about the best way to manage, influence, strengthen or change it. But thats not the same as working towards something with your own dog. A project between the 2 of you. Challenges overcome and connections made. For the next couple of weeks I have a visitor with me. A really high powered, ultra fast, hyper intelligent dog who really needs concentrated and thoughtful training............. Which I'm super excited about doing. For me, the magic moments in Dogs rarely come from anything but the work. FOr the dogs I love the connection comes from the shared journey in training. That connection allows for level of communication I dont get any other way. Now i just have to decide what to teach him.

We've come a long way, Midge and I. When we pulled her in April she was a feral pup living in the woods with her siblings. We have patiently put in the work and it's moments like this, doing the dishes and feel her come sit beside me, that are magical for me. I don't think I will ever tire of her learning to trust and choosing to be with me!
