The Battle Belongs to You~ A lesson from Leash Reactive Dogs

Do you have people in your life who are hard to love? Struggle with a desire to “get even”? Been holding on to bitterness from the wrong people have done? We want to battle, fight, and lash out in our frustration and insecurity. But how is that going for us? Although it may feel good in the moment, we are spinning our wheels and feeding our addiction of defensiveness or drama.

What if we could turn from the chaos and surrender the battle to someone who is far more capable and powerful than us? How would we feel? Peaceful. Content. Satisfied. Safe.

Here at RKT, when we ask our reactive dogs to perform the "Back to Distract" exercise it's hard work! It's something we aren't giving any wiggle room on. BUT when the dog finally surrenders, the look they give their owners is one of peace, contentment, relief, and safety.

Thank God for reactive dogs who help bridge the connection that this is what God requires of us. Take a listen to the song below. Talk to Him today. And let HIM start fighting your battles for you. On leash reactivity doesn't look good on you anyway. It's hard work to trust and surrender and "turn your back to what distracts" but with God, the effort is always always worth it!
