Almost two weeks ago now, I bought a Labradoodle (Labrador-Poodle mix) to train as a guide dog for the blind. Over and over again I was warned by his previous owner how much he hated car rides: “He has to sit in the front with me, otherwise the poor baby gets so scared. He always throws up if he has to be …
“We are cruel when someone refuses to play the role in which we have cast him. We judge a person only according to his relationship towards us.” – Anais Nin I read this quote from Anais Nin and immediately thought of how we see our dogs a certain way. There’s always this vision of how we would like them to …

How we are with animals is a life style – not a method. We should practice these concepts and mentalities in all other parts of our lives, too, not just when we’re with our horses and dogs.
