Working in animal welfare has been a real eye-opener for me, particularly when it comes to the way us Americans attribute human qualities to every kind of animal but none more so than dogs. I must admit that I was once guilty of doing this myself.

The key to caring for these creatures is to recognize their animal nature and treat them accordingly. It's essential to show kindness, respect, and love, while also maintaining discipline, structure, and understanding of their unique needs.

While we cherish and adore them deeply, we must remember they are not human beings. Our role as their guardians involves setting boundaries, providing enrichment, and understanding that we are here to guide them, not to assert ownership over them.

When they behave in ways we find challenging, it's an opportunity for self-reflection and understanding how we can better support and guide them.

There are no bad dogs, just untrained ones. 💜
