Post flying through the door. What is it?  Is it going to kill us?  I’ll bark that’ll show him ! I’ll kill the paper, thinks the dog !!

It is a straight forward as that. Remember dogs do not understand our world and all we have, there is no reason why they should. We have to show them that post really isn’t a problem for us and the post man or visitor hasn’t come here to kill either. If we make nothing of something it will become nothing, as if we make something of nothing it will become something.

If we shout and scream “ stop it” the dog just thinks you’re joining in and rips it more or barks more and you end up with a hoarse voice and red in the face!

 

Lets approach it from a different angle and show the dog our gratitude for warning us of pending danger, then for us to take charge of the situation in a cool calm and collected manner that the dog, then sees, we are dealing with what he perceived as danger and giving him the back seat. What a relief the dog thinks!
