Teaching Search and Rescue for Dogs......

So I worked with 11 dogs and their owners on Sunday to have a fun couple of hours starting training for Search and Rescue!  Is it healing?  Should I include it in this blog?  I think so, bringing a group of people with their dogs together to have some fun playing with the dogs toys and hiding people so they can find them.  What fun we had and all of the dogs were brilliant, some of the humans could use a bit of practice but thats normal when we are doing dog training!

So where does the dog training come in with all of my healing stuff?  Not sure, is it about healing people while working with animals?  or healing animals while working with people? or may be its both?  I think that I need to do days like yesterday to give me the confidence that I can teach.  I didn't really have the confidence to follow through with my Animal Healing workshop or my Animal Communication workshop because I doubted my abilities - I don't doubt my ability as a dog trainer because I have been doing it for 18 years!  so this proved to me that I can create an informative, fun structure where people and animals can learn so why can't I do this will healing and communication - I am equally good at all of these skills but haven't been healing or communicating for as long so perhaps thats my issue, I need to believe in myself more.  Not something I ever really thought I had a problem with as I do believe in myself but yesterday taught me i can teach and I am good at it and people want to come back for more!!!!

So my animal healing and communications weekend will get booked back in for next year and I am really looking forward to it.

I also helped a dog owner who wanted to see what his dogs reaction would be when he was near sheep so I helped both of them figure out that sheep are not so bad.  Thank you Missy for being such a gorgeous friendly sheep!
