118 | Your Dog Can Smell Your Stress-Now What?


Listen Later

Hey Dog Lover 🐾

Did you know your dog can smell your stress?
Not just sense it—literally smell it. Cortisol has a scent, and our dogs pick up on it long before we say a word.

In this episode, we’re unpacking how your dog reads your nervous system, why different Dogonalities™ respond in unique ways, and how to shift from reaction to calm, connected leadership.

You’ll walk away with a fresh understanding of why obedience isn’t the answer—and what to focus on instead to build real trust and safety.

Hope you enjoy!
~ Tracy
