Laura Vissaritis Instagram – A dog park/beach might actually be a lazy man’s choice…
Language is one of the most advanced tools we have as humans. But our language is for humans, by humans, and from humans.
Dogs have their own extraordinary and sophisticated language. If we choose to bring them into our lives, then it is our responsibility to learn and understand how they talk. It is very different to how we talk.
I’m sitting opposite a dog park right now, and all I can hear is human voices yelling out english sentences, half heartedly directed at their dogs. Not one word is positive, they are all directive and demanding words. There is no attempt to understand what the dog is saying back. Naturally the dog is not listening, because the words mean nothing to him.
– Try being silent and observe your dog.
– Dog parks are not human social venues.
– Don’t go to a park if you and your dog lose your relationship at the entry gate.
– Move and act as your dog’s advocate at all times
– Prevent incidents, rather than reacting to them! That may mean you don’t go to dog parks. Find a better way to entertain your best friend. The same dog park every day may actually be a bit lazy on your end. | Posted on 10/Jan/2024 04:36:54
