If you are dealing with a behavior in your dog that seems like it cannot be explained or changed you might be dealing with a decision your dog has made.

For example: I had the wonderful opportunity to work with a Boston Terrier, who had a sensitivity to his back and hind quarters. If he was being touched in a certain way it would trigger a bite response. The owners had him since puppyhood and the behavior started a few years ago. The biting was directed at anyone who was going to pet the dog by approaching over the head towards the back. The dog would bite regardless of who was petting.

While it is not really relevant to have the information to why this behavior started I found out that it started after having a severe skin problem a few years back that got the dog associating pain with being touched in this way.

The tools of Access Energy Transformation http://accessconsciousness.com/ really solved this case. I was able to assist this dog to get over his behavior in ten minutes using the tools of destroying and uncreating the decision the dog made that this particular touch meant pain. A yearlong behavior gone in minutes! A big yeah to Access.

You might think it is crazy that your dog decides something, but all animals seem to be doing that. I am sure some people would call that training in some way and it could simply be that too. I like to give the animals a bit more acknowledgement than that in a sense that I see them as beings with awareness and consciousness above and beyond training. (Although training plays a big role in all our lives).

What if your animal was deciding about stuff just like you are? And that that decision shaped their behavior in ways that might not always be beneficial to them (just like it might not be for us). A decision can give the animal tunnel vision and nothing that does not match it will come into their awareness.

Like the dog was no longer aware that the touch was not painful anymore; the decision that it was at one point overruled the awareness of the moment. Once the decision was removed the dog all of a sudden was able to ‘see’ that touch was pleasant, yet again. What a relief to the owner as well, who keeps being amazed over this result that has lasted for months now.
