Puppies and Perspective

Puppies learn so quickly.

Note her cute sit when she returns. In 24 hours, we have shaped a default behavior when she comes to me — and as a result, she doesn’t jump up. Yay Capella!

The best way to eliminate an undesired behavior (jumping up) is to ignore the jumping up completely and reinforce/shape a desired behavior that the puppy can do instead.

Note: This works well on humans of all ages — stop telling others what NOT to do and instead reinforce/show gratitude for what you want. Seriously — it is magical!

Easy Peasy — if one is intentional with their interactions, human and puppy..

In the midst of the 10+10, projects actually got done — including this one. Have a listen and tell us what you think…

Love Lived Here is an Audio-Docuseries chronicling a journey through humanity as we celebrate and share stories of grief, loss, and hope. In this debut season we share our co-host's story of her family's journey through suicide loss and grief. Their experiences offer lessons for the bereaved, and also for those who want to help.

Please have an amazing day filled with perspective and maybe even gratitude.
