How Working with Dogs Transformed My Personality for the Better

In my journey of working with dogs, I’ve experienced a significant positive transformation in my personality and outlook on life. It has made me truly appreciate the special bond between humans and dogs and the amazing roles they play in our lives.

One of the things I cherish about dogs is their ability to be emotional support animals for people. They possess an innate sense of understanding and empathy, making them perfect companions for those in need. 

However, amidst the focus on how dogs can support us emotionally, I’ve come to realize that it’s equally crucial for us to be emotional and support humans for them.

As a dog owner and trainer, my perspective has shifted over time. I now prioritize my dog’s well-being, making sure he gets everything he needs and enjoys life to the fullest. 

Dogs don’t demand much from us – just some quality time, care, and support, and in return, they become our most loyal and loving companions.

My approach with our team at the dog training center is to encourage them to embrace the role of an emotional support human for all the dogs we work with daily. 

We may not always know the backstory of these dogs or the challenges they might be facing, but it’s essential to provide them with the calm and reassuring environment they need.

There are times when dogs might exhibit stress or frustration during training or daycare, and that’s where we step in as emotional support humans. 

We lead by example, demonstrating calmness and patience, so the dogs feel secure and can refocus on learning and growing.

Dogs have a unique way of impacting our lives profoundly. They’ve changed me from being self-absorbed and egotistical to becoming a more thoughtful and understanding person. 

Working with dogs has taught me the value of being patient, investing time, and learning how to be a better dog owner, which has naturally extended to other areas of my life – being a better husband, a better father, and a better friend.

The relationship we have with our dogs often mirrors how we treat our loved ones. 

By continuously improving my relationship with my dog, I’ve found myself being more compassionate and caring in all my other relationships as well.

In conclusion, I fully believe that dogs can be a powerful cause for personal growth and transformation. The experiences I’ve had with dogs have made me appreciate the significance of being an emotional support human for them. 

Just as dogs support us emotionally, it’s our responsibility to support them and create a strong, loving bond that benefits both parties involved.

I encourage everyone to cherish their relationships with dogs and embrace the role of an emotional support human for these amazing creatures who continuously give us so much joy and love.
