Pas (The dog)

Ja sam sada i ovdje, potpuno svjestan onoga sto me okružuje u svakom trenutku.

Mirisa svake trave, grma, stopa koje se ne vide, tragova onih koji su tuda prošli i načina na koji su prošli, užurbano, ljutito, smireno, veselo, zdravo i čilo, poletno ili bolesno i sumorno, polako. Mirisa koje su donijeli sa sobom od tamo gdje su bili prije nego sto su ovuda prošli i mirisa nošenih zrakom.

Ja sam sada i ovdje, potpuno svjestan svega sto me okružuje u svakom trenutku.

Svih zvukova koji me okružuju, ptica, ljutitog glasa para koji se svađa u daljini, nervoze u tonu i mirisu nošenog vjetrom, plača djeteta u daljini, veselog žamora prijatelja u šetnji, uzrujanog laveža, veselog laveža, zvukova prometa, … Svako prometalo ima svoj potpuno drugačiji zvuk i miris koji nose na gumama, mirise ljudi u njima kroz otvorene prozore.

Ja sam sada i ovdje, potpuno svjestan svega  sto me okružuje u svakom trenutku.

Vidim ptice, na podu, u grmlju, na drveću, vidim ljude koji hodaju prema meni i prolaze mimo i one iza, osjetim njihove mirise koje nose na sebi, sa sobom, raspoloženja i stanja, vidim bicikle, oni isto nose zvuk i mirise kao i osobe na njima, vidim djecu i čujem ih, njušim njihova raspoloženja i stanja, vidim druge pse, čujem ih i osjetim njihove mirise, one daleko i one blizu, vidim drveća i grmove, travu, klupice, stupove rasvjete, stazu, osjetim svaku drugačije pod nogama, pod jastučićima i toga sam svjestan, a sve sto vidim nosi i miris onih kojih više nema, koji su tu bili prije, njihovih stanja i raspoloženja, njihovih godina.

Ja sam sada i ovdje potpuno svjestan svega sto me okružuje u svakom trenutku, mirisima, u slici, u zvuku, u raspoloženjima i stanjima, istovremeno, paralelno i svakim novim korakom i trenutkom to se sve mijenja i izmjenjuje. A sto ti vidiš, čuješ, osjetiš, čega si ti svjestan i da li je išta od toga sada i ovdje?

Here and now I am totally aware of everything around me at every moment.

The smell of each blade of grass, bush, footprints that cannot be seen, traces left by those who've passed this way and how they passed, in a hurry, angrily, calmly, cheerfully, in good health, boldly, with inspiration, or feebly and darkly, slowly. The smells they brought with them from wherever they'd been before they passed through here and the smells borne by the air.

Here and now I am totally aware of everything around me at every moment.

All the sounds around me, the birds, the angry voices of a couple who are arguing in the distance, the nerves in their cadences and the smells borne by the wind, the cries of a child in the distance, the cheery murmur of friends out for a walk, a distressed bark, a happy bark, the sounds of traffic,… Every vehicle has its own totally different sound and smell borne along on its tires, the smells of people in them through the open windows.

Here and now I am totally aware of everything around me at every moment.

I see birds, on the ground, in the bushes, on the trees, I see people who are walking toward me and passing me by and the ones behind, I feel their smells they bear along on them, with them, their moods and frames of mind, I see bicycles, they also bear sounds and smells as well as the people riding them, I see children and hear them, I sniff their moods and frames of mind, I see other dogs, I hear and sense their smells, the ones that are far and the ones that are close, I see trees and bushes, grass, benches, lamp posts, a path, I sense each one differently underfoot, under paw pads and I am aware of that, and everything that I see bears the smell of those who aren't here any more, those who have passed this way, their frames of mind and moods, their age.


Here and now I am totally aware of everything around me at every moment, in smells, in image, in sound in moods and frames of mind, simultaneously, parallel and with each new step and moment it all changes and shifts. So what do you see, hear, sense, what are you aware of and is anything of that here and now?

Probajte malo nešto novo za promjenu (Try something new for a change)

Stvarno mi je više dosta izraza kao što su „pas treba čvrstu i jaku ruku“, „pas treba red, rad i disciplinu“, itd. itd. Ponavljaju se iste rečenice valjda od vremena od kada se svjesno koriste psi, odlijepite se više od te stare škole.

Ukratko ono što psi trebaju je koncentriran i duhom prisutan vlasnik.
Ono što psi trebaju je jasnoća i dosljednost  (što ne znači grubost).
Ono što psi trebaju je zadovoljenje svojih potreba od strane čovjeka i na poticaj čovjeka, naravno pod uvjetom da znate koje su potrebe psa uopće.
Ono što psi trebaju je da se nauče prepustiti jer vi kao čovjek i vlasnik znate kako i kada i što treba.

Pa umjesto što pse kalupite u "red rad i disciplinu" i "čvrstu i jaku ruku", ajde za promjenu sebe dovedite u red i naučite se samo dosljednosti i jasnoći, biti prisutni i zadovoljiti potrebe svog psa prije nego ih on sam zatraži ili potraži. Probajte biti u stvarnom smislu vođa i prijatelj svom psu.

I'm so sick of expressions such as "dog needs a firm and strong hand", "dog needs work, order and discipline", etc., etc.. The  same sentences are repeated  probably from the time we consciously started to use dogs, peel off  that  old school from your mind already.

In short the thing that dogs need is concentrated and present (in spirit and mind) owner.
What dogs need is clarity and consistency (which does not mean harshness). What dogs need is satisfaction of their needs from the owner and by initiation of the owner, of course  provided you know what are the dogs needs.
What dogs need is to learn to let go of themselves (physically, mentally, psychologically) because you as an owner know how and when and what  to do.

So instead of putting dogs in a mold of "work order and discipline" and "strong and firm hand", put yourselves in that mold and get yourselves in order and learn yourselves consistency and clarity, how to be truly present (with body and mind) and how to satisfy your dogs needs before he does it him self. Try to be in a leader and a friend to your dog in real meaning of the words.
