"The true test of leadership is knowing your pack. I want to know my pack and what fulfills them. This is what creates balance. Then formulating a plan, setting an intention, and following through is what creates even more strength in your relationship, bond, and its depth. To me, that’s respect, both of the needs of your dog and yourself. As I travel and experience people around the world, I learn about how unique we are and also how different we are. Interpretation is everything. I could be looking at the same view, painting, or flower, and what I see and what you see may be very different because we each bring our own life experience along with it. This is true of how we view ourselves and how we interpret our dog’s behavior.
Knowing your pack takes time, patience, and acceptance. A shy or fearful dog is not this way because they were born that way. How you choose to be a leader and show that dog another way to be, helping him build confidence and achieve balance, requires you to see yourself clearly too – knowing yourself, and what you do that is unconsciously contributing to the problem. People who I’ve worked with have cried when they see me with their dogs because all of a sudden it clicks that they are part of the problem. They can finally see it when they are so close to the issue.
This is what distinguishes the true leaders from the rest. They are honest. They are real. They accept. They are in touch. They are present. They are respectful. They are balanced. And they know their pack."
