    My dog is my guru. All I teach him is how to sit, walk on the side of the road, and not jump up on people. He teaches me how to joyfully be, how to walk with confidence, how to have curiosity for everything, how to have love and empathy for all, how to live in a community/a pack. We are still scratching the surface of what the special dogs can be for humans.

    My dog for over 10 years died in July. She was truly a blessing in my life. We communicated through our eyes.
    We both used to just sit and watch. Sit at the front door, sit at the beach, sit at the park, sit everywhere and just watch.
    I always thought she taught me this unexplained stillness, I’ve come to the realisation that we taught each other. She was truly my soul mate for all those years and felt immense pain when she left this world.
    Dogs can pull you to who you truly are just by observing them.

      July for me as well. He would have been 17 last week. He had dementia for the last year. That taught me a lifetime of love in itself. He was also my soul mate. I retired 5 years ago to be with him full time after burying another. He was the 14th captivator of my heart that I have buried in my 57 years. @Herosbuggarden is his channel I made. My heart is severely gutted but there are so many I am here to rescue still.

You are this ripple, baby! You are my ripple, baby! Be the best ripple and make me proud! You are cuter than all the other Ripple babies out here! Fight for your rights, my ripple, baby! Fight for your place in the sun, my ripple, baby! Ripple, baby grows up, seeing it’s separateness from the other ripples. Some bad ripples, some good ripples. Some bigger, ripples, smaller, ripples, dumber, ripples, smarter ripples. And, then, the day comes when grown up, struggling, biting, despairing ripple, sees a video like this!

    My dogs changed my life, and without sounding dramatic, saved my life. My husband died right after we got them, oh the irony! He wanted all his life, enjoyed them a month. But they were god’s gift to me, to get me out of bed and keep me going, meeting people at dog park, socializing. They are the most pure joy and love I’ve ever experienced. They are always loving, happy, friendly. I’m grateful to them. Merry Christmas ❤

    He let me leash him and walk him. After two years walking him I asked him which way he wanted to go? He took me on a completely different neighborhood walk!! He was such a grand teacher.😊
    Great teaching today. 😊

    One of my rescued Labradors, Bella, had spent the first 6 years of her life as a breeding female on a puppy farm. (or Puppy mill as they are known in the USA) her pen was so small that she was not able to turn her body around. The vet estimated that she had given birth to over one hundred pups, by the time that she was six years of age. She was physically and psychologically very traumatized. Her rehabilitation took approximately two and a half years. Progress really began after she could connect with nature and go swimming. Also meeting with and being around other confident and balanced dogs. One of her favorite ways to release tension was through rolling on her back and punching the air with all four paws. She was an incredible soul and lived to be almost sixteen. We can learn so much from animals and nature

Not only did she discover the fun of galloping up steep hillsides, the ones covered in snow became extra special! Suddenly, living life in a Labrador suit actually became a place of fun! She would flip over onto her back and snow slide, head first down those hills, wheeeee!

    My dog is my rock. The dog chose Me when it was 8 weeks old and it has been with Me for 9 years now. I have no words that truly can describe our close and unbreakable bond of love. It has only grown stronger year by year. I owe this dog everything. We live together alone and we are together 24-7 and it has always been like that. The dog has taught what love is and it has opened my heart which no person have been able to do. The dog has taught me how to be in the present and not so much in the past or future.
    Im 55 and have been lonely almost all my life. The dog has this ability to not make Me feel that Im not completely alone in this world. The dog is My soul friend and I love this dog more than myself and every human being I have ever met. I thank God every day that he created this dog and I have the luxury of borrowing it. But at the moment Im not doing that great because the dog may have cancer and is going to be tested first in 2024. Practically My entire family have been wiped out due to cancer. My little brother and Me are the last ones and we have no children ourselves. I can not se my self without this dog and I dont know what to do. I feel so low and would gladly give My right arm if that could save its life if it would come to this. Will somebody be so kind and pray for My dog. Love from Denmark ❤

    I've had a dog that asked me to sit. Wherever i decided was the turning point on our walks in nature, i used to sit down on a tree stubb or a stone, smoke a cigarette, give out some goodies and just be for a while. When this very special dog (i wish Eckhardt could have met him) got older and got trouble walking, he asked me to go and sit down wherever he felt he wanted to turn homeward. It was easy to obey him.
    From what i just heard, Marley might have been one of those dogs who are a step ahead in developing an ego. He even had an opinion on me. He gave me the greatest compliment i've ever had as he transmitted his sincere judgement that for being a human, i could be rather smart sometimes.

    [A dog’s ego is in relation to when they are in the presence of other dogs that they have their own code, and not in relation to us,and so this is why we are able to feel freedom to be our true selves in our pets presence and we don’t feel like we need to measure up or be judged.

And then top it all off he brings up the ancient practice of watching the breath as a simple yet powerful tool to extend the experience of being in the power now.

    I wish Eckhart Tolle one day would meet James French. He is the one who works with animals 100% peacefully by delivering the "present moment". He calls it "Trust Technique". Through practicing the Trust Technique I was able to establish a wonderful relationship with my blind horse based on trust and mutual understanding. Connection is stronger than control. It works with every sentient being. Not only horses or dogs. It is life changing not only for the animal but for it's human as well because the human gets used to being in the present moment. The main purpose of the Trust Technique ist to help animals to relax and in this purpose to help them when they release stuck emotions like anxiety or aggression.

    We hear the term self love passed around often and its gets distorted. What I have found is that self love is freedom of expression without judgement. Most people can understand freedom of expression but where most of the problems start is to express without judgement. This means regardless if your expressing yourself by donating to the poor or raising your voice because something is bothering you are both a form of expression and both are to be accepted without any judgement that any form of expression is right or wrong.

    However, I also teach my dogs to “have a brain”, so that they will stop for a moment and think before barking at the fence etc. I train my inner world to stop for a moment and think before getting involved in being anxious about the future. In both cases the result is greater calm, and peacefulness.

    A man and his dog were walking by the side of the road and were hit and killed by a car. They found themselves walking an unknown road somewhere together and wondered where they were. They came upon an incredible city of gold with pearl gates and shining gold streets. The man asked an old man at the gate what the place was. The old man replied "This is Heaven" The man asked "can come in? " After looking at his book the old man replied " Yes" The man then looked down at his dog and said "what about my dog ?" The old man said " There are no dogs in heaven" so the man and his dog walked away not knowing what to do.
    Further down the road they came upon a great and beautiful garden and entrance to another grand city with a man and woman tending to the plants in front. The man asked "what is this place" The woman smiled and said " This is Heaven" The man inquired" may I come in ? " The woman replied "Yes you may" Then the man asked defensively "and my dog ? " The woman replied " Of course dear " The man was over joyed and said to the couple do you know there is a place down the road that is saying it is heaven as well ? The man tending the flowers replied "Yes that is just a place to test souls that would give away a precious friend for a little gold "

      In all seriousness though, ego is simply identifying with a narrative in your mind of who you think you are… it’s language in the mind. Dogs don’t have language, so they are simply an aware presence, which is what we are, but most people identify with the movement of thoughts in their mind for their sense of self. It’s not actually there. So dogs live in reality and we mostly live in an illusory existence… hence all of our species difficulties.

    I assume from what Eckhart is saying, he hasn't worked in a dog rescue centre. They definitely do have problems with self esteem especially ill treated dogs. There is a TH-cam video where a dog that 'cried' at hearing for the first time that she was a "good girl". They have preferences over different people too.

      It's not about having feelings. Of course dogs have feelings. But they have no conceptual thought and no self consciousness. Hence the concept of self esteem doesn't apply. That doesn't mean they can't feel sad, or in pain or can have preferences. None of this needs to reference a self like humans do.

      @@snakedogman There is a great deal of evidence that animals have self-awareness. However, at the same time there is a lack of consensus on the definition of the term “self-awareness”.
      Natalie Evans has recently published Animal Ethics and the Autonomous Animal Self, a book that challenges the notion that only humans are capable of agency, autonomy and self-awareness.
      Simply put, people including Eckhart don't know enough to declare that dogs don't have a form of self consciousness or awareness to some degree.

      One syllable utterances are not language. Woofs, growls, etc are like babies crying or cooing… indicating needs or expressing emotions, they are not like “tree”… a concept or label for a thing. Language is a complex communication system spoken and written forms laid over reality so we can function. “Pass me the milk”. It’s not possible for dogs to think because they do not have conceptual language. Life is actually much easier and more peaceful when you aren’t thinking and you can function beautifully without it.
