Helping our dogs feel safe during new experiences is one of the best gifts we can give them. Resilience—the ability to recover from stress and navigate life’s challenges—isn’t just something they’re born with; it’s something we can nurture together.

When we show them calm, reassuring body language, praise their bravery, and give them the space to process, we’re telling them: “You’re safe. I’ve got your back.” This creates a foundation of trust and helps their nervous system stay balanced, making it easier for them to face new situations without fear.

Grisha Stewart shares heartfelt, practical tips in her January Vlog on building resilience in dogs. She talks about how we can truly support our pups in ways that matter. The vlog is now available to stream for Diamond Members at www.school.grishastewart.com.

Welcome to 2025! As we step into a new year, let’s begin with resilience—a quality that carried us through the ups and downs of 2024. Just like us, our dogs face challenges that test their adaptability and courage.

Resilience is born when we create space for our dogs to feel safe, understood, and empowered. By giving them the ability to make choices and influence their world, we’re not just reducing their stress—we’re helping them build the confidence to face life’s challenges with felt safety and adaptability.

Every time we allow a dog to say "no," approach at their own pace, or find their way to calmness, we’re nurturing their resilience. It’s not about control; it’s about partnership, trust, and supporting them as they grow stronger with each experience.

How do you see resilience in your dog? Is it in the way they overcome fears, adapt to new situations, or bounce back from setbacks? We’d love to hear your stories. Share a photo of your dogs with their stories below in the comments!

Congratulations Taylor! 🥰
