Five Things I’d Tell You If I Wasn’t Afraid Of Hurting Your Feelings

1. Your dog is telling you they are uncomfortable, you’re just not listening. So many dog bites are avoidable if you just learn to read your dog’s body language.

2. Your dog doesn’t need to have perfect manners when people come over and many dogs don’t actually want to be around your guests. Management (ie. crate training, settling behind a gate) is such an underused skill.

3. Your dog is doing the best they can with the information you’re providing them. Your handling and practice plays a huge part in your dog’s progress.

4. Your dog doesn’t want to participate in [insert activity here]. Just because you want a a dog who enjoys the patio, competing in a trial setting etc doesn’t mean your dog wants to do those things.

5. Your expectations of your dog are really high. Your dog’s breed, learning history and upbringing all impact a dog’s resiliency and ability to learn. Your dog is a complex emotional being and changing your mindset can help with your progress.

What are some things you feel like dog owners don’t realize?

🌟Rosie & Sydney 🌟

These girls have made such incredible progress with nail trims. The first time they came for nail trims a few months ago they didn’t want any treats and were very nervous coming in the back room. We have worked hard to build trust - it was important for them to realize that I wasn’t going to hurt them! This past week they came for their nail trims and they both took treats throughout the process. It’s been super helpful to have their owner present to help with their confidence. I am super proud of these two gals!
