Why would I want to be like my dog? On the surface it appears to be a pretty good gig. No bills to pay, no one to argue with, brighten everyones day, everybody happy to see me, and of course I have free run of the house with no responsibilities to maintain the house.
Dale Carnegie once said, and I am par phasing) your dog has unconditional love, your dog is very loyal, your dog is happy to see you, and most importantly your dog builds its relationship with you everyday.
There are some drawbacks, you can never learn to drive, you only get out of the house by bolting through the front door when it is open, you do your bathroom business outside, and of most obvious when a dog meets a new dog they start their relationship by sniffing each others butts. I just don’t see that as the best way to meet your potentially new client.
I guess what I am saying is this, if we approach our professional life with each other the same way our dog approaches their our relationship then the term teamwork becomes very true. It takes all of use to make a transaction work. Work together, not as advisories. Your customers would be happier, your team of other agents, lender, and Title Company would be happier, and everyone benefits.

Dogs are so cool - but, you are also right - they are somewhat limited in their freedoms. ( I would also suggest "no licking" clients) :) Have a good Thursday Kevin.
