Working with dogs who struggle with anxiety is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. Every fearful glance, hesitant step, and quiet tremble tells a story—and earning their trust is a privilege I never take lightly.
It starts with patience, consistency, and a calm presence. Some days, the progress is small: a gentle sniff, a relaxed sigh, a moment of eye contact. But those small moments add up, and before long, you see a dog begin to believe in safety again.
Today, Mercy reminded me exactly why this work means so much. Watching an anxious dog slowly warm up—choosing you, trusting you, allowing you into their world—is something truly special. There is nothing quite like the moment their tail softens, their body unwinds, and they let you know, in their own way, “I feel safe with you.”
These are the victories that matter.
These are the moments that keep me grateful for the work I do. so thankful for you guys choosing ohmydog 🥰
