Some of you know that I believe in the Law of Attraction. And as an animal owner this article made sense to me. Enjoy.
How to Catch a Dog
(or Anything Else You Want)
By Jeannette Maw
Have you heard the colloquialism that a chased dog will always run?
Owners of naughty or adventurous dogs have likely experienced the truth of
that!
But it’s not just true for dogs. Chasing anything will send it
running in the opposite direction!
That “graspy” chasing desperate-type energy is not a super attractive
vibe.
In fact, I just emailed a family member suggesting he make peace with
impending divorce – because clinging to his failing marriage was making his wife
want out all the more.
The saying about how a chased dog will always run reminded me of the trick
that savvy dog owners use to get a dog on the run to return home.
You simply get in front of the dog so they can see and you run in another
direction.
They follow. They can’t help it. Even if they’ve fallen for it a hundred
times before, they have to join the running pack leader. It’s what they
do.
So instead of chasing stinkerhead Koda through the neighborhood, I know my
job is to get in front of him and start running. Neighbors might think I’m nuts
as I run barefoot across lawns and down streets in a totally different
trajectory than my dog, but that’s okay. This is no time to worry what neighbors
think. (Just like in LOA work.)
I get out in front, get his attention, and start running in a direction that
leads us home. (Even a big circle works.)
I can run right into the garage or backyard or front door and he gleefully
follows.
Unless I turn around to try to catch him. Which sends him in a
different direction immediately.
Or if I lose speed, he loses interest. It’s got to be a full on sprint
to keep him engaged!
I’ve learned not to look back to make sure he’s following, because a
leader of the pack doesn’t wonder about that. I have to run with confidence that
he’s right behind me.
And it works like a charm! (I’ve done this with enough foster dogs as well as
my own to know its reliability.)
