Dr. Isla Fishburn discusses the importance of allowing dogs to be unapologetically themselves and embracing their individuality. She emphasizes the need to let go of preconceived notions and expectations of how dogs should behave and instead focus on understanding and accepting their unique personalities. Isla also explores the concept of dogs as spiritual messengers, coming into our lives to teach us important lessons and help us heal. She encourages dog guardians to embrace their own emotions and engage in shadow work, using their dogs as mirrors to uncover and integrate unresolved emotions. Dogs are in our lives to be the elixir to our spiritual amnesia and to help us wake up. Nourishment for dogs and humans is not just physical, but also mental, emotional, and spiritual. There is a growing acceptance of the emotional and spiritual aspects of dogs, but there is still a negative stigma around spirituality. Dogs help us accept ourselves and reflect on our own self-care.
