My friend—my dead friend. One little word told you that.
My friend.
or
My late friend.
We may not think about it, but in seemingly the smallest way, words have huge importance.
Remind yourself and others around you that you’re in one of two camps. You’re either:
- an owner (who’s unaware)
- or an RDL owner, leader, and teacher (who’s aware)
From now on, others hearing the phrase “RDL owner” tells them something. “What they know you know” precedes you.
An RDL owner knows:
- how Nature works,
- how Nature doesn’t work,
- what assumptions they’ve made,
- what assumptions all RDL trainers have made,
- what models they’re following,
- what all RDL trainers expect
and so much more.
A Culture, and a Healthier Culture of More Patient Leadership
Most trainers don’t announce their brand like appliances do: Amana, Bosch, KitchenAid, Tupperware, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, General Electric…
Distinguish and identify yourself as an RDL owner—it tells others how you’re interacting with your dog. It reminds you to constantly hone and be aware. It means you’re awareness is on a certain level. It educates others, and that’s always a good thing.
What if everyone were to do what we’ve always done? That’s not good.
