Self-Awareness is Not Obligation

Realizing how your choices affect your pack doesn’t mean you have to change—it just helps you see the full picture.

🐾 If your long work hours leave your dog lonely, quitting your job isn’t the only option. Maybe a pet sitter, a longer lunch break, or even bringing your dog to work could help.

💡 Awareness isn’t about guilt—it’s about clarity. The better you see your situation, the more creative you can be in finding solutions that work for both you and your dog.

🐶 Should You Use Treats for Dog Training? 🍖

The short answer? Yes—but with purpose! ✅

🔹 Motivation Matters: Just like we work better with incentives, so do dogs! If your pup is food-motivated, treats can be a great way to reinforce new skills.

🔹 Keeps Them Engaged: Practicing in a distracting environment? A tasty reward helps your dog stay focused and interested.

🔹 Balance is Key: We don't want to become treat dispensers! The goal isn’t dependence—it’s clear communication, fun, and learning.

A well-timed treat now and then makes training enjoyable and rewarding—for both of you! 🐾

🐾 What Your Dog Really Needs from You 🐾

Want to change your dog’s behavior? Start by meeting their core needs 👇

💛 Attachment: Your dog relies on YOU for everything—be their safe place.

👀 Attention: Give them love before they act out, not just when they misbehave.

🎉 Appreciation: Praise them for what they do right, not just corrections!

🗣 Authenticity: Let them communicate—ignoring their needs leads to frustration.

🎭 Autonomy: Give them small choices (walk direction, treat type) to add freedom.

When you show up as a calm, confident leader, your dog will follow. 🐕💫
