PDP - Ep179 - The Concept of Chaos and Order in Dog Training and Life

- Defining chaos - the absence of a clear direction forward 
- Defining order - functioning in a manner that is predictable and consistent 

Dog training 
- Chaos - inconsistency, erratic behavior, nervousness 
- If your dog behaves in these manners, it is often because they are recieving unclear communication 
- Slow yourself down and clearly define to yourself what you want and then work to communicate that to your dog 
- Order - obedience, calm mannerisms, confidence 
- Walking the line of proper tension between these two is important for progress forward while not over stressing the dog 

In life 
- Chaos - if you feel chaotic in life, this will often reflect in your dog’s behavior. 
- The dog reflects the handler. This can be a huge blessing for those with eyes to see it. 
- Chaos can be scary, but it is also the place of opportunity. Learning to embrace the opportunity without disrupting the parts of your life that need to remain in order 
- Order - the consistently predictable. This is typically a comfortable place to be in life, but has the danger of becoming boring and stagnant. If you stay here too long, you often slide backward without realizing it. 
- Look for things that call to your attention and then make plans to engage with that while hedging for the possibility of failure in a particular direction.
