Happy New Year, everyone!! Wishing the most beautiful things for you and your dogs in 2026!! ✨

We are taking an extended break from all social media - beginning later today but are still here running operations in full swing!

Stay connected via our email newsletter which you can sign up for on our website at www.freetobedog.org

We’ve got big goals and plans for this year and will be funneling the extra energy from releasing social media into those projects. First up will be a professionally designed and fully functional website including EVERYTHING you need to know about our services, pricing, faqs, etc PLUS an entire page dedicated to free downloadable resources and another to an educational blog!

Launch will happen, hopefully, in February.

Additionally, we will be sending monthly email newsletters and printing quarterly newsletters to distribute around Moore County, NC.

Feel free to keep in touch or reach out, anytime, via email to [email protected]

Happy training and adventuring!

If this sounds like your dog,
take a deep breath — you’re not alone.

Your dog isn’t bad, stubborn, or trying to embarrass you.

They’re overwhelmed in a world that asks too much, too fast.

Sensitive dogs feel deeply.
They process slowly.
And when their nervous system hits capacity, behavior is the result.

At Free To Be Dog, we help dogs live full, adventurous lives without forcing them to behave.

If you’ve been searching for an explanation that actually makes sense —welcome. You’re in the right place.

Trainers, behavior consultants, and behaviorists — I cannot Tess recommend enough!

Stress isn’t just a “behavior problem.”
It’s a whole-body problem. 🧠🐾

Cortisol — the stress hormone — affects every cell and tissue type (Daskalakis et al., 2022).
It increases fear learning, reduces emotional regulation, impairs cognition, alters social behavior, and even shortens lifespan. 📉

And as Dr. Spaulding reminds us:

“Stress impacts everything—literally everything. When an animal is living under overwhelming stress, we’re fighting an uphill battle unless we address the stress first." ⚠️

This is why training alone isn’t enough when stress is high.
We must reduce stress first so learning, healing, and real behavior change can take place. 🌱

Just a reminder to our pet parents about the dangers cold weather can pose for our pets!

❄️Antifreeze has a sweet taste that can attract animals—always store it in a tightly sealed container and clean up any spills immediately.
❄️Keep pets leashed to prevent wandering onto ice or unsafe areas.
❄️Protect paws from cracking and irritation caused by salt, rock salt, snow, and ice.
❄️Dress pets in layers when needed, especially short-haired pets that spend time outdoors.
❄️Limit time outside for all pets, regardless of coat thickness, as they are still at risk for hypothermia and frostbite.
❄️Opt for short, frequent walks instead of long outdoor adventures during cold weather.

As always be safe, have fun, stay warm!🐾☃️
