🐾 "Does my dog just need more training or socialization to fix a behavior issue?" No - while both are important, they don’t treat fear, anxiety, or aggression.

Say no to shock, fear, and outdated methods or those that tell you "your dog just needs more training" or "you need to be in charge".

I'd like to share this insightful article about stress triggers for dogs.

Clients and volunteers frequently send me videos and photos, demonstrating their improved understanding of canine body language. I received a few lately.

It's rewarding to see these dog lovers adopt a new perspective and see dogs through a new lense.

It's essential to recognize that dogs generally do not enjoy hugs and kisses, instead, at best, tolerating them.

Teasing a dog, such as pulling treats away, can lead to mistrust and confusion. Not teaching the dog what we DO want them to do can cause frustration.

By educating ourselves, we can improve our interactions with dogs.

Effective communication is key to building a strong relationship with dogs!

🐶🗣️👂Advocate by listening and speaking dog!

Help your veterinary clients create a stress-free environment for their pets by educating them about these top stress triggers.

🚫 Old Myth: "Touch your dog while they eat so they get used to it." Better Truth: Build trust, not tension.

Messing with your dog’s food while they eat can lead to resource guarding, not prevent it. Instead, teach your dog that your presence means GOOD things—like a yummy treat tossed their way! 🍗💕

Want a dog who welcomes you near their bowl? Start with trust, not control.
