Life with dogs is not always easy, especially when they misbehave, blow you off, ignore you, embarrass you in public and generally create frustration. Some days, you might even wonder if you should have a dog or if your dog would be better off with someone else. You are not alone, and I’m going to tell you a story on how finding a different pathway can open the door to amazing grace for your dog and, most importantly, for you.

In the episode you'll hear:

• That we get the dogs we get for a reason.
• The story of Bob and his dog Buddy and their life together.
• How not giving up can lead you to find new pathways.
• Why dog training can be like an iceberg and what matters is underneath.
• Why grace can change the way you look at the world and yourself.
• How creating a deep connection with a dog can change our life.

0:00.0	Life with dogs is about knowing the many sides of dogs. And there may have been a dog or more than
0:06.4	one that you've described with words like hyper or aggressive or over the top or he blows me off.
0:14.4	He's stubborn. He's got a will of his own. He's got a mind of his own. He's on his own agenda.
0:19.2	He gives me the doggy digit or anything
0:21.5	similar. You see, I think that we get the dogs we get for a reason. And that's what today's
0:27.4	podcast episode is about. It's about why we get the dogs that we do and what can we do
0:32.4	once we get them. Hi, I'm Susan Garrett. Welcome to Shape by Dog. And today I'm going to do things a little
0:48.1	bit differently. I'm going to share this episode in the form of a story. And like all great
0:53.2	stories, there's going to be a hero. There's
0:56.3	going to be a villain. There's going to be a guide, possibly a sage or a muse. As you follow along,

1:45.8	him Bob. And Bob has a dog, big old lab, cross, shepherd, pity sort of thing. We're
1:53.1	going to call him Buddy. So, Bob and Buddy are going to be the characters in our story.
1:58.3	And throughout the story, I'm going to break away from the story and give
2:02.0	a little narrative on what's going on. So, I've got all the stage set for you. So let's jump into the
