Hey Dog Lover đŸđŸ
Ever saw a dog so cute you couldnât help but just rush over to give them a little pet?
(Yeah, me too.)
But sometimes we need to pause and consider what our movement means to a dog.
In fact, this is one of the biggestâand most misunderstoodâreasons fearful dogs struggle to feel safe, even with people who love them dearly.
In this episode, we explore what it means to âcome in too hotâ from your dogâs perspective.
Weâll talk about prey-mind vs. predator-mind, body language, and the often-overlooked subtleties of pressure and approach that can either build trust⊠or blow it.
Youâll learn:
What âpredator energyâ looks like from a dogâs point of view
How to soften your presence so your dog can breathe
Why the way you connect matters more than the thing you do
If youâve ever been told your dog is âweirdâ or âoverreacting,â this one will shift your lens completelyâand help you show up in a way your dog can actually feel safe around.
I hope you enjoy this one.
Tracy xoxo
