Beautifully said! Sometimes behavior is a SYMPTOM…figure out whats causing it.

A Mind-Blowing Truth About Your Dog’s Behavior

“A dog will often escalate a behavior not because it’s dysregulated… but because you are unconsciously regulating yourself through their behavior.”

Let that sink in.

Sometimes, when a dog barks, pulls, growls, or spins, it’s not just them trying to feel better.
It’s their nervous system trying to hold yours.

Your dog may be escalating a behavior because on a biological, energetic level they’re stepping into the role you haven’t fully claimed: the role of leader, of field holder.

Here’s what that means in real life:

That bark might not be “bad behavior” it might be your dog grounding your tension.

The pulling isn’t always about the squirrel it’s about a loop you’re both stuck in.

The leash tension? Often a direct reflection of your internal state.

Most people try to correct the behavior.

But there’s a deeper question: What part of you is your dog trying to manage in that moment?

Try this:

Slow your breathing.

Release the tension in your hands.

Let go of needing the behavior to change immediately.

Often, when you shift your presence, your energy, your internal pressure, your dog will regulate before you even touch the leash.

This is the invisible layer behind behavior.
This is the mirror.
