Closed the loop. Day 3 is done I didn't talk as much this time. I justed stated "interesting insights" and shared the reel.

The first step of closing my loop involved sharing a business link. I didn't realise this was a problem and was unable to access it to edit it. So I copy and pasted what I wrote. The reel I shared contains information regarding the use of negative and positive punishment in dog training. When training dogs it's not one size fits all and think the video illustrated that. However, I'm not allowed to put links on here. I thought this was really interesting: when we train our dogs we're teachers, we're a life coach. When I take a dog into my care I am bringing them into an unnatural setting. I mean this in the sense they're not hard wired for this. Their instincts are designed for life without humans. Due to selective breeding certain breeds do better in different climates and yes some were bred for working with people like collies. However, that doesn't mean they can understand English or learn a moral code. The instincts that enhance their natural abilities are bred to be more dominant, they're still a dog, the same is true for horses. Selective breeding and domestication has strengthened instincts that allow them to learn. It is our responsibility to use our abilities to teach them how to function in our care. To be a good partner and allow them to understand and thrive. There's a reason you very rarely see happy domesticated zebras and it's not because their instincts, intelligence, and thinking is drasticly different than a horse. Zebra's in some situations can do okay but that takes more time and money then most have and it's not really a good situation for anyone. Horses have all the same basic instincts but selective breeding means that certain instincts are stronger. That's why you can have wild mustangs, Icelandic, wild horses in AB, because they're still an animal with those instincts hard wired in. When we assume care for these animals it is our responsibility to provide an appropriate environment, food, and also provide for their mental wellbeing. They aren't humans, but they still have a mind and are still designed with species specific needs. Training is part of understanding and providing those species specific needs

Help! I really want to try this but I'm having so much trouble figuring it out. So far it's been great but I'm stuck. Please help

I have to pick one thing for an open loop Sharing information on my dog training page for my business

The authentic me. Playing Dutch blitz with my daughter callista. Warning our authentic selves involve authentic language that we both understand. We control ourselves in front of other people who would not understand our brains. Meet my mini me, we both play d and d, love playing circle of the moon druids and setting everything on fire. Also happy to play games and binge watch a 200 episode show in a week. I'm not bragging, this community is showing me how much I have to be grateful for and everything I've done. My daughter is her own person but seeing her confidence, her intelligence and how quickly she makes friends. I was her and I had the chance to give her support, be there for her. I had my meltdowns, had massive fights with my husband, and lost my temper, but she's living proof that apologising when I messed up, being present when she needed someone, all the effort I put in, even if it wasn't perfect was good enough. I am so proud of her and her sister. They have a confidence that I never had as a kid
