Do you have limiting beliefs about yourself? Maybe you think that you’re lacking in confidence, that you’ll never have money, that your best days are behind you, or some other belief that prevents you from living life to the fullest. You may also have limiting beliefs that you’re not aware of. Those are hidden in your unconscious and yet they’re running continuously in the background of your mind, like a computer’s operating system. And they’re interfering with your enjoyment of life. You can also have limiting beliefs about your dog. And they can negatively impact your dog's life, as well as your own. For example, you may believe that terriers are difficult to train, that your dog is uncoordinated, dominant, not smart, or some other thing. When I was a kid, my dad and I trained our family dog, who was a Norwegian elkhound named Zeus. We thought it would be fun to compete with Zeus in obedience trials. My dad was told by countless professionals that you can’t train a Norwegian elkhound. They were “untrainable” for obedience. They also told my dad that Zeus “would never, ever jump.” Jumping over obstacles was a part of the obedience competition, so that would be a problem. Fortunately, my dad didn’t listen to those well-meaning professionals. He decided to listen to his own dog instead, To Zeus. Did Zeus want to learn the activities required in the obedience ring?  Did he want to jump over obstacles?  Did he want to use his nose to sort through a pile of objects, select the one my dad had touched and then happily bring it back?  Zeus replied, “Yes, yes, and yes!” My dad, who was well aware of the power of thoughts, didn’t fall prey to those limiting beliefs about Norwegian elkhounds. He made a conscious choice to listen to his own dog instead. You can do that too. In this episode, I explain how you can get started noticing your limiting beliefs. And how you can start replacing them with thoughts that elevate your life and your dog’s life.
