Fascinated not frustrated

Of everything parelli has given me the most powerful thing has been to see things from another perspective. To get fascinated not frustrated. Horses being prey animals that weigh 500+kg can be very challenging animals to communicate with. It was frustrating at the start because i cant physically make Gem do what i wanted! I wanted her to do all these things and when she didn't i got frustrated and pushed harder which made it worse and sometimes made it unsafe. We are both Left brained which and we can clash sometimes because we're both dominant and stubborn but once i became less frustrated and more curious about why she was saying 'no' the arguments stopped and i could LAUGH at her cheeky antics rather than try and force the cheekiness out of her.
Neither of us have changed our personalities but by becoming aware of her horsenality and of my personality i could use strategies to communicate with her and make it fun for both of us!
On my very first parelli lesson the instructor briefly covered horsenality and we decided Gem was a Left Brain Introvert, i worked with it and learnt about the different strategies butit wasn't until i did the humanality/horsenality match report that it became to clear just how important it is and how practical!
By the way I am a left brain extrovert and so is Gem but she has a few LBI tendencies.
When I got the report back I thought 'how the hell do they know so much about me! They know me better than me!" lol It's amazing and picked up on behaviours/habits I do without even thinking I'm doing them!

I transfer this motto of 'getting fascinated not frustrated' into everything I do.
As a professional dog trainer I come accross so many people-in fact nearly everyone- completely puzzled and frustrated as to why there dogs are doing these behaviours. Once they realise there dog is not deliberately being naughty but there is a huge breakdown in communication and therefore practically no relationship they soon start to question rather than just get angry! You can even use it when you meet a new person and they do something you don't like or that makes you angry, stop and think 'why' are they behaving like this and how can I be a postive influence and improve our relationship.

Overall, it makes for a much happy life if you can take something that you can frustrated over and look at it from a new perspective and becom fascinated!!!
