28: Understanding Your Pet’s Value Bank
Have you ever heard of value banks? We all have them, even our pets.
If not, you’re missing out on a super helpful tool to help with your relationship with your pet.
A value bank represents how much access you are getting to the things that you value, and the same goes for your pet. It’s a transactional way of viewing your relationship with your pet. Are they getting what they value from you and you from them? Are you filling each other’s banks or emptying them?
In this episode, I’m discussing how you can use this tool to build a better relationship with your pet. At the end, I’m sharing a story about how value banks come into play between me and my dog to give you an example of what I’m talking about.
