Many times we forget that our dogs are trying to communicate with us and learn how to live in our crazy human world.
Take the time to listen to what your dog is trying to tell you with their body language, and advocate for them and their personal space, teach them alternate behaviors, and counter condition and desensitize their fears to help them learn how deal with uncomfortable situations.
This will give them faith in you, their handler, especially when out on walks and in new situations. It’s all about Bark. Train. and Love!
