Awareness DAY 6 | 14 days of opportunity to deepen the bond with your dog

Описание: This 14-day program brings you a different task each day. The tasks are based on observation and recording your experiences, without judgment. This is a gentle invitation to begin the year 2026 (or any time you start it) with a deeper understanding of yourself as a dog guardian, your dog, and the relationship you share.

If you’re longing for a relationship built on greater patience, understanding, and a gentler way of living together, this 14-day project can be a beautiful first (or next) step on your shared journey.

DAY 6
For this task, you’ll need an assistant. Think of one action you want the other person to perform (don’t say it out loud)—for example, hopping on their left leg or turning off the bathroom light. The other person must figure out what you want by trying different actions—going left, going right, squatting down, and so on. When they do the wrong thing, say the word “no.” To make the experience more authentic, you can use a firm tone of voice—but be aware that the person on the other side will likely feel very uncomfortable (just as dogs do). You also don’t need to be consistent—you don’t have to say “no” every time they do something wrong.

The guessing ends when the other person no longer wants to keep guessing. Then switch roles. Write down how you felt in both roles, and how the other person felt as well—again, in both roles.
