Every person in this world, who is working long years with and around animals, will tell you how sensitive our animal world is. They feel much more than we can even think about.
My experience is limited around dogs and I have felt so many times that our dogs show us the real mirror which we need to look at with grave seriousness.
We at Romis Home Pet Nursery, the best doggy daycare in Dubai, work with rescue organizations and we have fostered dogs for years now. The dogs who come to us after getting rescued from streets, farms or abusive owners or being abandoned….. They all come with baggage. Baggage of – lack of self-confidence, sadness, fear, lack of trust, reactive personality…… etc.
Romis Home Pets Nursery, the only crate free dog daycare in Dubai, works with potential adopters and trainers …. And the moment the leash changes hands the dog changes. It may sound dramatic. But this is the truth.
The dogs sense our strength and weakness very clearly. They want assurance that the leash holder is capable enough in taking care of them and to be in charge of handling any situation.
Confidence and calmness are the two key characteristics – that comfort the dogs.
One of my friends, whose Labrador used to come to us since he was a puppy. Very good, happy, confident dog with almost zero problem.
During covid time the family had to go through different challenges like job loss etc. Like many other unfortunate families, this particular family also couldn’t handle Covid time well and the couple started fighting among themselves and over time they decided to get separated. We have seen the dog‘s character getting changed in front of our own eyes.
The calm confident happy dog – became depressed, started to refuse his daily walk even – just because he lost all confidence in himself and in his family.
We received a dog from a rescue organization, who was almost a red-zone dog. Extremely reactive and high energetic. We were fostering the dog. But the rescue organization was working with him with a dog trainer. Months went by to find the right person who can be the owner of the dog. But when that right person started training with him – as soon the leash went to the right hand, the dog started changing like magic. That dog is now the best family dog. Lives with his two human baby siblings. Zero reactivity around human or other dogs.
At Romis Home Pets Nursery, the best dog boarding in Dubai, I have seen several times – when we adopt a dog to fill up any void in us – marriage separation, breaking up relationships, empty-nests …or anything if we are not careful about how calmly and maturely we are dealing with our challenges- we unknowingly put lots of emotional pressure on our pets. Our expectations on our pets go so high which is not healthy for them at all, nor for us. As a result they start reacting in different ways.
I can go on with hundreds of stories. We, the dog parents should be doing an introspection if we suddenly find any attitude change in our dogs. As well as checking the dog’s health, we should look into ourselves also to find – if anything unusual is going on there.
Dogs are angels in our life, the best guide we can have. Though we are holding the leash, they are the ones who are holding the mirror where we can see our real reflection.
