Misunderstanding Dog Intelligence & Communication
Have you ever caught yourself referring to your furry companion as "dumb" or "stupid" in a moment of frustration when they didn't quite grasp a command or behaved unexpectedly? It's a common reaction, but let's take a closer look at the intricate world of canine intelligence and communication that we might be overlooking.
How Dog's Interpret,Communicate, & Support with Remarkable Intelligence
Dogs are anything but unintelligent; in fact, they possess a remarkable level of intelligence and intuition that often goes unnoticed. The following are 5 ways that dogs interpret information, apply their unique intelligence and capabilities while supporting us on many levels.
1. The Ability to Communicate Effectively with More Than Words:
Dogs have the ability to pick up on our thoughts, emotions, and energy without us even realizing it. This keen intelligence manifests uniquely, primarily through body language, expressions, and sounds that convey a depth of understanding that we're only beginning to comprehend. Some animals will come closer to you when you are upset, so that they can comfort you. Some dogs will go as far away from you as possible, not because they don't love you, but because they are unable to feel safe around your energy. So they don't subjugate themselves to an environment that they cannot tolerate, but this doesn't mean they don't love us, they are simply staying safe.
Dogs also pick up on the visual parts of our thoughts. This is why a dog will know when we are getting ready to go for a walk without ever saying anything to anyone about it. Approximately 7% of all communication is verbal, 38% is vocal and 55% is visual, meaning 93% of all communication is non-verbal. This technique is how animals communicate with each other. Ever wonder how cats, dogs, cows and birds, animals of different species can communicate when they essentially speak different languages? It's because of this visualization component. Clearly, animals have mastered the ability to communicate.
2. Masters of Energy of all Beings and Environments
What's even more fascinating is their mastery of energy. Dogs seem to grasp the nuances of energy in ways that sometimes elude us and this is a realm in which their communication capabilities are epic. Their reactions to different situations are a testament to this sensitivity. Whether they're offering unwavering support during challenging moments or seeking a bit of distance to cope with overwhelming emotional energy, they are finely attuned to the energetic currents around them.
One remarkable aspect of their energy mastery is their ability to sense the intentions of other beings. Dogs can discern whether someone's energy is genuine, loving, and from the heart, or if it carries harmful intentions. This incredible skill is like a built-in defense mechanism that helps them stay safe and navigate their surroundings. It's an ability we should never overlook, dismiss, or attempt to subvert. We are capable of this same kind of energetic information, but often our minds are too busy to listen to our body's signs about others intentions and our energetic feelers can be out of whack as a result. Dog's are amazing examples of mindfulness and living in the moment, which is why they can pick up on information in this genuine and energetic way.
3. Attuned to Earth's Energies:
Animals, including dogs, are attuned to the Earth's frequencies which means they can sense shifts in energy patterns that predict natural events such as storms, earthquakes, or impending weather changes. This intuitive connection to the Earth's vibrations serves as a survival instinct, prompting them to seek shelter or higher ground when needed. This kind of intelligence is paramount for their safety. So not wanting to go outside, or in that cave, or that way in the woods, is actually a dog's intelligence protecting them from harms way. If a dog doesn't want to go somewhere with you, there is probably a very good reason.
4. Ability to Lead & Protect
Dogs' extraordinary abilities extend to environments that demand heightened awareness and vigilance. Take, for example, military and police dogs. These highly trained canines are living proof of the incredible capabilities dogs possess. Their innate knack for reading energy and environments makes them more than just fierce protectors – they are invaluable guides to safety. They can navigate unstable situations, detect danger, and even provide emotional support in the most challenging circumstances. Will the wonders of dogs capabilities ever cease?!?!
5. Unconditional Love & Support
When we consider how dogs enrich our lives, it becomes evident that their presence goes beyond mere companionship. Dogs embody unconditional love and support, regardless of the situations we find ourselves in. They are attuned to our emotions and energy, offering comfort when we're down and celebrating with us during happier times.
Dogs' awareness, attunement, and vitality are qualities that surpass common understanding. They are not only our companions but also our teachers and selfless caregivers. It's time we respect and honor their role in our lives as beings with profound wisdom to share.
Practical Tips to Understand Your Dog's Intelligence
The next time your dog appears to resist a command or behaves unexpectedly, remember that their actions aren't rooted in defiance. Rather, they are intuitively assessing the situation. By acknowledging their unique intelligence, their mastery of energy, and their unwavering love, we reinforce the deep bond that has connected humans and dogs across countless generations.
Give them a moment to absorb and process the energy around them, allowing them to ensure their safety and well-being within their environment. Surprisingly, as you demonstrate your respect for their unique way of interpreting information, you'll notice a shift in how they respond to you. This shift occurs because they'll come to understand that you value and honor their true nature. As a result, their need to reevaluate interactions with you will naturally evolve, reflecting the mutual awareness and respect that defines your relationship. Your bond will be stronger than ever.
Conclusion
Let's rethink the way we perceive and interact with our canine friends. Instead of underestimating their intelligence, let's marvel at their ability to understand us on levels we might not even comprehend ourselves. Through patient communication and an appreciation for their unique cognitive abilities, as well as their mastery of energy and connection to the Earth, we stand to gain more than just obedient behavior – we gain a deeper understanding of the extraordinary beings that share our lives. Dogs are indeed here to love and support us, and it's time we honor and respect their remarkable presence in our lives.
