If That's You – Dealing with Intense Emotions in People and Dogs

In dog training, and in training and consulting in general, we always encounter emotions. They are triggers for suffering and joy. In dogs and in humans.

This evening is about understanding emotions. Because on the one hand, we overestimate them, and on the other, we underestimate them. They are the result of internal evaluation processes and by no means reflect a truth.

Emotions move us away from something or towards something, turn social situations into moments of happiness or problems, can soothe or cause stress.

They are changeable and anything but reliable.

When feelings in dogs and humans become intense, they can cause difficulties. For the one who feels and the one who empathizes.

Dogs and humans can fall into fear and rage, become withdrawn, be beside themselves, face a demand helplessly and desperately. Anyone who wants to hold the space with all its feelings for others and help them find their way and re-evaluate needs understanding.

The lecture is aimed at dog owners* as well as dog professionals.
