Sorting through life’s chaos is akin to training an unpredictable dog; both require mastery over the when, why, and how.

When: Just as we sort our life decisions at opportune moments, we must also discern when to guide our dogs. Proper timing in both ensures success.

Why: Understanding our motivations and those of our dogs is key. Is your dog’s barking due to anxiety, boredom, or health? Similarly, sorting the reasons behind our feelings adds depth to our growth.

How: Our strategies in life, like in dog training, need personalisation. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t always work.

In essence, sorting our way through life and dog training is more than exerting control. It’s about mutual growth, understanding, and patience. Our dogs serve not just as pets but as teachers, urging us to be present, adaptable, and curious.
