“De-Dogging the Dog”…Stop Limiting Beliefs
Everyone who has ever welcomed a dog into their home has set out to make sure those dogs “check” unwanted instinctive behaviors at the door. Dog lovers are wanting to “de-dog” their dog because they are not enthralled with the jumping, food stealing, destructive chewing, barking, and occasional potty incidents in their home. When folks hire me to help them with their puppies, interestingly, everything they list for me are behaviors that are instinctive to the dog. Subsequently, when we learn how to “de-dog” the dog, the same principles can be applied in our own lives. If you are limiting your beliefs, just like with the dog, if we consistently implement all aspects of our strategy, it is easy for our dogs (and ourselves) to understand what we want and start to offer new behaviors.
“De-Dog” Yourself And Stop Limiting Your Beliefs
- Use a strategic approach to manage the environment
- Get clear on the desired outcomes
- Communicate effectively
- Reward correct behavior responses
Time To Make A Change
Most people, given time to reflect on the different areas of their life, will identify things they wish to change. Namely, the same things they have focused on in the past with some success (physical health/weight, relationship, finances, career). Consequently, they found that they either plateaued, regressed back to the original starting point, or things got worse.
For the most part, the desire to change something comes about because there is a feeling of discontentment or an outside motivator prompts immediate action (i.e high school reunion, wedding, etc.). Our motivation (the ability to get into action) is powered by one of two things. It’s either the delayed reward of how good we will feel at the event or in conversation with people about our lives or the pain of not showing up feeling our best. Initially, we have the drive and willpower to follow through on the required actions. Unfortunately, willpower will always lose to what you truly believe.
What Does Success Look Like?
Long term success to change begins when you look at the habits that lead you to the place you wish to change. Just like behaviors that are instinctive to dogs, much of human behavior is on autopilot and run by the subconscious mind. The information held in this space runs your personal operating system. Your internal beliefs are the result of your interpretation of your personal experiences. Therefore, the habits you engage in daily are the direct output of your internal belief system. Similarly to “de-dogging” the dog, we have to rid ourselves of the limiting beliefs which result in actions that self-sabotage or paralyze us from taking action altogether.
The Magic Question Is “How Do We De-Dog Ourselves?
- Look closely at an area of your life you wish to improve. What decisions over time have led you to a point of discontent? If you rated this particular area a 6 on a scale of 1-10, what would make it a 10? What is your belief about the space between 6 and 10? Consequently, list out everything you believe (positive or negative) about your thoughts on what it would take to get that area to a 10.
- Above all, acknowledge the fact that you get to decide if this belief is YOUR BELIEF or a true fact.
- Next, seek out examples that prove your belief is not a fact (people who are experiencing what you wish to experience). Identify what beliefs are in their personal operating system.
- Moving forward, try on the new beliefs. Support them by managing your environment, get clear on your desired outcomes, communicate with yourself effectively.
- Finally, reward yourself for moving forward in the right direction (just like you do with your dog)

or reviews everyday along with a cup of coffee.
I like reading a post that can make men and women think. Also, thank you for allowing me to comment!

much the same page layout and design. Great choice of colors!

acceptable deal. I had been tiny bit acquainted of this your broadcast offered bright clear idea
A fascinating discussion is worth comment.
There’s no doubt that that you need to write more on this topic, it might
not be a taboo matter but usually people don’t
speak about these topics. To the next! Cheers!!
I blog frequently and I genuinely appreciate your information. Your article has really peaked my interest.
I am going to book mark your website and keep
checking for new information about once per week. I subscribed
to your Feed as well.
Howdy! Quick question that’s totally off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My website looks weird when browsing from my
iphone4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
If you have any recommendations, please share. Cheers!
Good answers in return of this matter with real
arguments and explaining all regarding that.
What’s up friends, fastidious piece of writing and good arguments commented here, I am really

I seriously love your site.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you make this
website yourself? Please reply back as I’m trying to create
my own personal blog and would love to find out where you got this from
or what the theme is called. Appreciate it!
I pay a visit each day a few blogs and websites to read
articles or reviews, except this webpage presents
quality based content.
When I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify
me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I recieve 4
emails with the exact same comment. There has to be a means you can remove me
from that service? Thanks a lot!
There is certainly a great deal to find out about this issue.
I love all the points you have made.
I think that everything posted was actually very reasonable.
However, what about this? what if you were to create
a killer headline? I ain’t saying your content
isn’t good., however suppose you added something to maybe get
folk’s attention? I mean “De-Dogging the Dog”…Stop Limiting Beliefs – ruffeodrive is a
little boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how
they write post headlines to get viewers interested. You might add a related video
or a related picture or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve got
to say. In my opinion, it could bring your blog a little livelier.
I like the valuable information you provide in your articles.
I will bookmark your blog and check again here frequently.
I’m quite certain I’ll learn lots of new stuff right here!
Best of luck for the next!

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

Hi all, here every one is sharing these kinds of know-how, thus it’s nice to read this weblog, and I used to
pay a quick visit this web site daily.
I go to see every day some blogs and websites to read
posts, except this website gives quality based writing.
Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I
wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!
This website was… how do you say it? Relevant!!
Finally I’ve found something which helped me. Cheers!
