I have no doubt that dog would lay down his life for me.
So, no, I am not going to put myself in lockdown to stay " safe".

Now, my wife trying to keep the dogs from chasing her horses through a fence ?

Am I also to observe this from the bedroom window as part of an anger management strategy 

As for emotional training.
There was a lot of aggressive energy.
From the animals and the animal instincts in the humans.

2 cycles of parasympathetic breathing and I was able  to calm myself and see that the son was also calmer then his dad.
By approaching him , it was de escalated.

If I hadn't practiced those techniques I think I would have a broken jaw.
And , what sort of a man, when an intruder tells his wife " you need a muzzle bitch " would slink off inside to display he has good anger management skills.


What woman would accept that .
It's disgraceful

Well then you have enough evidence for charges to be laid but
I suppose you can always hope that it will all blow over
and that is the end of the matter?
Get a copy of the video.

Yes Sophia.
I have had to intervene when Jack Russell had brown snake bailed up.

I think snakes and wild dogs trigger a primitive part of our brain and we become very primitive in our reactions.

In truth, should have taken 30 seconds to put on gloves , bike helmet , boots before intervening with dogs or snakes.

Very hard to calm down and we need to practice this.

I have been in one road rage incident where druggie was pounding on window

Instructed daughter to lock doors and we filmed it and drove off when safe.
Found that less triggering to be honest.

If he had got into car however, I don't think "anger management  training" is going to help.
Not with a druggie behaving like a wild animal.

You are quite triggering with your rather ignorant posts suggesting I should abandon my dog to being attacked.

Now , I will do 30 seconds of deep breath work to gain emotional control.

Ahh , that's better.

"Freediver, you are not dealing with me in good faith."

If I didn't exercise such emotional control , I might have responded

"Freediver , you are a dead set moron."

Can you see how learning the skills of emotional control help us to develop emotional intelligence and self regulate ?

What "emotional training" are you talking about?

The gift which keeps giving.

In business you can destroy your business by losing it with a customer.
Hence we train our brains to control our emotions.

Part of this is breath work but a lot of it is realising , every time you feel " upset" or " triggered"  you must refresh this immediately  to

" this isn't happening TO ME  this is happening FOR ME.

so when you are stuck in traffic or you see litter on the footpath  or the sink is full of dirty dishes you think

" this is an opportunity to not  yell at my wife or be a little whining sook but to man up and humbley fix the problem ".

I call this working on your emotions.
Gym training to strengthen the mind.
Done on a daily basis.

It might save your business.
It might save your relationship.
It might save your life .

It's the reason I am not attacking you at the moment for your silly questions.
Rather I am using them as a micro suck , a little petty annoyance to help me exercise my higher / better self.

I thank you for providing this opportunity for personal growth
