One of the best things you can do as a guardian is accept that your pet will have good days and bad days.
They will have days when they make mistakes.
They will have days when they are tired.
They will have days when they are a bit cranky or sad for reasons you may not know or understand.
They will have days when they just don’t feel like doing what you ask.
They are free willed sentient beings.
Accepting that your pet will not be their best every day, and that they will not be agreeable every day, is one of the best things you can do as a guardian to promote trust and connection.
Honor them where they are each and every day as the free willed sentient beings they are. Forcing them to do as they’re told every single day does not promote a relationship. Forcing them is a dictatorship. Some days they just won’t be their best and that’s absolutely ok. We arent our best every day either.
If you honor their emotions and feelings each day, they will do things you ask because they want to please you, because you have a relationship built on trust and love and acceptance.
