Walking Kbernie

Each and every morning after rising from my bed, I greet my dog, a golden retriever, who is now 6 years old (Kbernie).

Kbernie is immediately excited as he has conditioned himself so by my early morning presence, he understands that this means he gets to walk with me, talk with me (I do most of the talking) and then upon our arrival home have his food placed in front of him.

Whilst I am walking Kbernie, I am conscious of his presence and actions towards other dogs, people, vehicles and the such like, talking all the while quietly to reafirm to him he is a good dog and doing the right things in his chosen actions. Unconditionally, Kbernie acknowledges my praise and continues happily exhibiting his canine abilities.


When we reach our local reserve, I allow Kbernie to come off the lead.  It is after I have done this, I use the time to accomplish some personal tasks ahead of my day. These are to reinforce my daily affirmations, confirm my beliefs and apply my acknowledgements. Once those actions are complete, I find a spot to sit and then practise visualisation and make a promise to myself to keep for the day.

Typically, Kbernie by the time I have completed my actions will have chased around the scent of a rabbit, tried to catch a bird or two and had his obligatory bodily waste functions addressed and is well and truly physically excersised.

It is a daily routine we have come to love and share together.  You see it is our 'journey' together to and from our destination were we connect as man and his dog.  It is the 'destination' where we behave as man and a dog, equally present to one another but none the less undertaking our own individual actions.
