If A Dog Were Your Teacher
If a dog were your teacher, you would learn things like…
- When loved ones come home, always run to greet them
- Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride
- Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy
- When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience
- Let others know when they have invaded your territory
- Take naps and stretch before rising
- Run, romp, and play daily
- Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
- On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass
- On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree
- When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body
- No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t pout …run right back and make friends
- Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
- Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
- Stop when you have had enough
- Be loyal
- Never pretend to be something you’re not
- If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it
And most of all…
- When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently

“Stop when you have had enough.”?
Clearly, we are not learning from a lab!
