I love this post about what humans sometimes expect from canines without knowing if anyone has taken the time to teach them.
🐾I enjoy the emphasis on a dog's individuality and depth of emotions. This can be a confusing and harsh world for our pup pals, let's do our best to help understand it from their view!🐾
What are your thoughts on the different statements and did any give you a possible new insight into the mind of canines?
IF DOGS COULD WRITE ….A BILL OF RIGHTS
Dogs are held captive in our human world but and are not born to understand our human ways.
We expect so much of them. We expect them to know, conform and behave in ways that are “acceptable” to us.
So many dogs are subjected to force, punishment, intimidation, aversive tools or outdated training methods as humans attempt to change and control them.
There is nothing admirable, ethical or intelligent in physically or emotionally forcing any sentient being to comply.
Take the time to learn and understand how they communicate, their emotions, their needs and use updated, modern, scientifically based methods to modify unwanted behaviour.
Guide them with understanding, with patience, with compassion and kindness.
If dogs could write a Bill of Rights, these are some of the things I believe they would want us to know.
