πΎ Your dog doesnβt need to be glued to you to love you.
Independence is one of the most important life skills we can teach our dogs.
It helps them cope with:
β’ Grooming
β’ Vet visits
β’ Daycare
β’ Boarding
β’ Time home alone
Without independence, some dogs can develop anxiety when separated from their humans. New environments, unfamiliar people and busy social settings can quickly become overwhelming.
Small moments build independence:
βοΈ Time in another room
βοΈ Settling alone
βοΈ Trusting other caregivers
βοΈ Learning youβll always come back
An independent dog isnβt less attached.
Theyβre simply more confident.
