Before you try to stop it, fix it, or change it, first ask yourself, "How can I be emotionally safe in this moment?"

When in doubt, choose Connection over Control & Understanding over Obedience.

Why do we feel we need to control our dogs and their behavior?

I believe it boils down to fear and anxiety. We've been convinced that we need to micromanage in order to get a "good" dog, or avoid a "bad" one.

But no living thing wants to be controlled, and behavior problems are the result of too much control, whether we look at dogs or humans.

And, like humans, when dogs feel emotionally safe, they behave in calm, content, social ways.

I'm now on NextDoor! If you're there, too, I'd love if we could connect and, if you know me and my services, I'd love a recommendation!

Obedience often disrupts our connection with our pets, resulting in behavior problems that can't seem to be fixed, or that need increasing motivation (punishers or rewards) to get compliance.

So, what do you really want, obedience & compliance or a better relationship & connection?

Pet welfare CANNOT be separated from human welfare. What happens to people affects pets. Support pet caretakers. If they're struggling, offer help rather than judgment.

Most people are not trying to be poor caretakers, they just may not be doing well physically or mentally themselves. CARE stretches across communities and species. 💜

This is in no way justifying purposeful abuse and neglect. But it's important that we look for ways to support people before we jump to conclusions about "bad owners." So often it's a situation of lack of knowledge or extreme stress. We are all victims of a society that takes advantage of the many to support the few.

Obedience training doesn't support your dog's emotional welfare. You do: your presence, your touch, your voice. Regulate WITH your dog and see how their behavior improves 💜

Did you know that, when you touch your dog, calming & confidence-building neurochemicals are released in your dog's brain?

This is why your dog seeks your presence and touch. Not because they're "Attention- Seeking," but because they're "Connection-Seeking." It means they're feeling a little lonely and they're reaching out: a "bid for connection," as they say in the relationship world.

Did this change how you view your dog's requests for attention?
