Neutrality. Feeling. Emotions (with Nick De Moraes)

In this episode we discuss a story that has been a guiding light for us in life, relationships and finding strong mentors.We delve into Feeling and our observations and experiences regarding its gradation, dichotomy and the subsequent influence it has in peoples actions and dog handling.We answer the question, what is Feeling to us. The importance of Feeling, and how it has, and continues to share and evaluate our existence. We talk through our views on different dog handling techniques and components of life with dogs through the lens of Feeling.

In this episode we discuss dogs from the angles of being a dog or a fully domesticated ("finished") one and what that looks and feels like to us.We discuss our experiences with dog psychology, nature vs nurture, force, obedience, shock collars, treats and our thoughts and observations in their influence in stagnating or elevating a dogs ability to feel more harmony in life, beyond their senses and instincts.We draw parallels from natural horsemanship, transcendental meditation, service animals and the Jentle Method and their limitlessness

In this episode we delve into the concept and personal experience of culturing our awareness of all possibilities and the subsequent peace, harmony, skill and equanimity it has fostered in our lives as well as the beings in our care. This has brought more clarity in navigating the ups and downs in life and ultimately finding more awareness, respect, empathy and compassion towards everyone and everything. Our hope is that this podcast serves as a foundation by which listeners can gain more insight into how we see and feel things on a more subtle level and sets stage for the following podcasts where we will be expressing deeper thoughts and feelings of the dog industry as a whole.

In this episode we discuss the Oregon Tails Pack, its inception, evolution, experiences with dog psychology, shock collars and other tools, our trials and tribulations over the last 16 years and getting to complete harmony with the dogs in our care through feeling and handling them differently than the rest of the dog industry. The Oregon Tails Pack has always been an off-leash service on unfenced property with no breed restrictions and at its peak, was 55+ dogs of all ages, behavior types and breeds and disciplines. It has and continues to be our heart and joy, how we learned about dogs, developed the Jentle Method and have spent many thousands of hours growing in feeling, skill, knowledge and most of all, enjoyment alongside dogs.
