The Power of the Pack

I am especially proud of tonight's The Power of the Pack episode because it gives me a chance to show, in a little bit more depth, how a stable pack can have a powerful influence over an unstable dog. Dogs instinctively understand that if they are unbalanced, they can get hurt by other members of an otherwise balanced pack. And their survival instincts always lead them back toward balance. (If only it were so simple for us humans!) An animal's natural "goal" is to be connected, to live harmoniously, grounded, and balanced. And as hard as it may be for our human egos to accept, animals don't need us to achieve that state. When a troubled dog changes from an unbalanced to a balanced state, he doesn't question the transformation. He lives in the moment and doesn't dwell on the past. That's something humans can learn from animals, if we take the time to observe them.
