I believe our dogs are mirrors.
Not because every behavior is our fault, but because they feel us in ways we sometimes forget.
They feel our frustration.
Our anxiety.
Our impatience.
But they also feel our calm.
Our confidence.
Our love.
And I’ve learned that when I change my energy, my dog often changes with me.
Sometimes the best thing I can give my dog isn’t another command.
It’s a deep breath.
A little patience.
A softer voice.
A willingness to slow down and listen.
Because everything funnels down from us.
Our dogs spend their lives learning how to understand us.
Maybe the least we can do is spend ours learning how to understand them.
Become a student of your dog. 🤍
