YOUR DOG IS YOUR MIRROR. THE EMOTIONAL CAPACITY OF OUR DOGS AND OURSELVES

BEHAN (KEVIN) YOUR DOG IS YOUR MIRROR. THE EMOTIONAL CAPACITY OF OUR DOGS AND OURSELVES   

Even those dog lovers who feel that they understand their pets better than anyone else are sometimes bewildered by a mystery behaviour or response. This, asserts Kevin Behan, is because our dog's actions and attitudes are driven not by what we say or do but by what we feel. Two provocative conclusions follow from Behan's argument: Because of unresolved emotions in our past, our dog may well know us better than we know ourselves. And because dogs know us "by heart," they can help us connect with and heal our buried issues. Based on dogs evolving as cooperative group members, Behan's approach offers practical ways to decode and change behaviours - and profound ways to learn from the mirror our dogs provide.
