Encouragement

[paulnoel]

I was watching some dogs being trained the other day. The instructor was was giving commands like "stay" "fetch" and so on. Then the instructer gave the most important instruction of all; "Now, praise your dog's!" And it was a delight to see how the dogs responded to a few kind words and a stroke and a pat, just a simple acknowledgment to show they had done well. As I watched these dogs wagging there tails I couldn't help thinking that we human's are not so different. Often all we need to keep us going is just a word of encouragement, a pat on the back or a simple well done. Don't you agree?

(Proverbs 27 v 2)...Let other people praise you-even strangers; never do it yourself.​

Dogs or any animals love praise just like us humans we thrieve on it. So encourage your pets the will love you for it.

I agree, Paul. Sometimes all it takes to make a bad day a good day is a kind word or gesture.

Our kitties respond well to praise and pets. Sometimes they even like a hug. When they do something really cute and endearing we say. "Good, girl." or Good Boy." They get it.
