(42)

A Central Florida Family Dog Training business focused on Balanced K9 Training. So why so much focus on creating CALM? Aren’t our dogs supposed to have fun and round around like maniacs? Do you have a dog that reacts on walks, reacts in the house to the dog on TV, is fearful or stressed out, creating calm can have a major impact on arousal issues. Does your dog pull on the leash, rush the door, wh

ine all the time, guard his food bowl, jump up onto the counter to grab what’s cookin, act crazy in your car, and is constantly misbehaving? Well you’re not alone. Most dog owners suffer from bratty pets due to the lack of structure and consequences needed to stop unwanted behavior. Slowing these guys down will help them make better decisions that would otherwise seem impossible. Whatever your problem may be, I am here to help you create the framework needed to ensure your dog is the calm, balanced pooch you have always imagined. I started PAWSitively Calm with the intent on helping struggling families live a more balanced and calm life with their overly excited, stressed out, bratty pets. Most of my clients say “I just want to take my dog out in public with me without him going bananas”. You see, if you could have stepped into my world a couple of years ago, you would have seen an out of control, overly aroused pack that would not stop barking, freaking out at the slightest sound, growling at visitors if they came too close, and separation anxiety at its finest. I was literally embarrassed to go out in public on leash with any of them. Packing up my three dogs in the Jeep for a beach vacation was always a nightmare with all of them barking as soon as the parking brake was engaged and the keys jingled. So there I began my research on overcoming and tackling these issues by watching and devouring any Cesar Milan book or video I could get my hands on. Something struck a nerve for me when I saw that in every episode, the owner played a significant role in creating that very behavior their dog was exhibiting. Could I really be the problem? Could too much loving and not enough structure really create this kind of madness? It sure can! And I’m here to tell you that it can all be turned around. If you want your relationship with your dog to change, you first, must change. It just takes a little bit of hard work on the dynamic of the household, and I’m here to steer you in the right direction. Rules, boundaries, and consequences are what is needed to create that balance between affection and leadership. When one of these aspects out-weighs the other, a whole slew of bad behaviors can arise. Your relationship with your dog should be permission based. Everything your dog is allowed to do, is because you gave him permission to do so. I am here to help guide you through some basic core skills in establishing your role within the pack so that you can truly have the peace of mind you’ve always imagined.

Jumping, non-stop wiggling, twirling, pacing, whining, mouthing, and over the top excitement are so often MISTAKENLY confused for happiness.
Unfortunately, disrespect, thoughtlessness, carelessness, and inattention all stem from this unhealthy, unhinged mindset — al of which fuel impulsive, poor choices.

A dog stuck in an endless, heightened state of mind is impossible to communicate with. In order to teach them anything, the noise and fire in their brain have to be addressed.

Attempting to teach a dog obedience through the fog of hyper-arousal will leave you with a dog that “knows” basic commands, yet still lacks self-awareness or self-control, nor consideration, or respect for their human.

When we shift our goal from training rudimentary skills, to demanding respect and CALM behavior first, our overall results will improve drastically. A platform based in a CLEAR understanding of acceptable-versus-not behavior, becomes far easier for both human and the dog.

A clear minded dog is a calm, eager to listen, happy dog.

A very important part of leveraging respect from our dogs is by making everything they’re allowed to do PERMISSION-only.

Eating your food - WAIT for permission.
Going through a doorway - WAIT for permission.
Coming out of the crate - WAIT for permission.
Getting into and out of the car - WAIT for permission.
Holding Commands - WAIT until released or told to do something else.
Playtime - WAIT for permission.
Affection - WAIT until “I” ask for it.

Each and every instance we can use to make your dog WAIT for our permission compounds and stacks to form a relationship based in respect and eventual believability.

Days, months, or even years of compounded experiences that involve overindulgence, appeasement, allowances, treats, unearned affection, toys, and loads of freedom to act at will, become a powerful representation of our relationship — one where respect may rarely be given because it has never, NOT ONCE, been demanded. This lack of believability can very well spur full-scale anarchy depending on the temperament of our dog.

PERMISSION-based interactions are how we begin to leverage the leadership skills needed to take back control of our home. PERMISSION removes a dog’s impulse to make decisions on their own, where they become more mindful of their choices, and learn to look to us for guidance and instruction.

The dog in this picture is not sad, depressed, shut down, or dispirited. They are calm, relaxed, content, and on their way to becoming the stable, healthy dog they deserve to be.

Most of our dogs live in an endless cycle of hyper-alertness, reflexive and always on edge, anxious, stressed, overcome by overwhelm — worried about the UPS guy, why you got up from the couch, the street cleaner out front, the ice cube that just dropped in the freezer, or the dog barking next door.

Just a dog being a dog, right? Hear something, act correspondingly...

Uhh, no. A reflexive dog is clearly bouncing off of their triggers, acting without any self-awareness, and are incapable of self-regulating or healthily processing. In this state of mind, it is nearly impossible for dogs to listen or make good choices. They are in survival mode.

Flaky, edgy, barky, growly, reflexive.

So what should we do?

Teach the dog how to be STILL, and enforce it regularly, using the one command so many of us neglect to consider…

By and large, the Place Command has the most state of mind benefits of all the others. PLACE has the ability to dissolve feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, stress, over-arousal — all emotional states that perpetuate unhealthy choices. It also teaches independence, boundaries, impulse control, and above all emotional regulation.

But the trick to truly benefiting from this command’s magical properties comes with a lengthy NON-NEGOTIABLE “stay,” multiple times throughout the day.

Imagine yourself in this situation — concentrating on stillness, quiet, reserved, peaceful, motionless MEDITATION.

THIS is what Place offers the overstimulated dog — A reprieve from restlessness to reprogram the mind to simply let their triggers pass on by without lip.

When this command becomes non-negotiable — meaning, no matter what, the dog cannot come off without permission — the dog has no other choice but to just relax and surrender into the command. In time, stress begins to fade and the dog develops a new default to the triggers that at one time had them over-reacting. All of those previous issues you were battling with are no longer a big deal.

Doggo mediation Peeps... it‘s purely magical.

Miss Charli has finally started her public access work after laying down a solid understanding of what’s acceptable behavior and what is not! As little as a week ago it would have been impossible to walk this super nervous, impulsive, & insecure kiddo ANYWHERE, let alone a store, without her irrationally reacting.

We’ve been working hard on conditioning Charli to defer to her human, and look to the person that’s holding the leash for guidance. Tuning out the world and listening to her person is critical in developing a more stable state of mind. This process has involved a comprehensive program based in PERMISSION ONLY ACTIVITY, where every step and choice Charli has made, has been managed and dictated by me. This has slowed down her issues with emotional processing, creating a bit more self awareness and control!

We headed to Lowes yesterday to start solidifying her obedience out in the real world. Lowes is loaded with things a dog has never seen, heard, or smelled! And for this kiddo, unfamiliar sounds, strangers, and moving objects can have her flip to an unhealthy headspace.

Working around a ton of distraction like this desensitizes Charli to the unfamiliar, and helps her learn to defer to her person when confronted with triggers that concern her. Having a Leader to guide her through the experience, while also holding her accountable for any panic or irrationality, is key. Charli then learns to look to her person instead of being overly concerned about everything else around us.

Nice job sweet lady!

At the end of the day, how you live life with your dog is entirely up to you. If a couple of daily walks around the neighborhood (embarrassment-free), playtime in a fenced-in yard, and cuddle time on the couch, all suffice to fulfill yours and your dog’s needs, kudos! I’m happy for the both of you!

However, if an all inclusive, FREER life lived outside of your immediate experience is the expectation, how you live with your dog INDOORS will determine how your time is spent OUTDOORS.

Rules for right or wrong have to be at play WAY BEFORE you step foot outside! That is, if you would like to expand the amount of freedom you and your dog are currently experiencing. The rules we set for our dogs are precisely what keeps them safe while ensuring that they have the greatest possible FREEDOM and enjoyment from life.

Dogs are being forced to carry the burden of self-mastery without ever having been coached within their home. Owners who decide to forgo leadership, or who use it incidentally, sentence their dogs to much smaller lives filled with stress, anxiety, worry, over-arousal, uncertainty, pressure, and way too much responsibility.

A dog’s behavior, and freedom, can be measured by the extent of leadership that is at play. A HOME-LIFE void of rules will have you both struggling when outside of it.

I think that one of the toughest things dog owners grapple with is being firm, and doing what’s tough and uncomfortable in the heat of the moment, in order to move their dog into a healthier state of mind — long term.

Trust me, I get it! And this, BY FAR, was one of my most difficult lessons learned with my personal dog, Porter.

You see, Porter was afraid of his own shadow. Literally.

Instead of being a Leader that clearly defined what is acceptable, and what’s not, I soothed, coddled, and showered Porter in affectionate reassurance. This unknowingly perpetuated even deeper fear-based reactions.

Now that his unhealthy behavior (human AND dog aggression) was making him a prisoner in our own home, he started to develop severe Separation Anxiety whenever I left — screaming, howling, spinning, pacing, drooling, manic episodes that I mistakenly provoked through over-nurture.

I was confusing how to “LOVE” (what we humans require from one another) in his times of distress.

Instead, I should have concentrated on making Porter STABLE for the greatest span of time, not just in his moments of panic.

- Could I start crating him (even though I felt it was cruel) in order to help him feel safe and secure when I left or could not watch him?
- Could I make him stay on Place when he is whining for me to hold him even though my heart just wants to soothe his anxiety with kisses and pets?
- Could I start restricting his freedom with rules and boundaries without feeling guilty or cruel?
- Could I use training tools that I at one time deemed inhumane in order to help him relax, lessen his worry, and open him up to a world beyond our home?
- Could I discipline his fear-based reactions in the moment in order to create a safer, more balanced dog in the long run?
- Could I put my very own emotional needs aside when he harmfully begged for attention?

What I needed to wrap my head around is that it is far more hurtful to allow a dog to remain in an endless cycle of stress and anxiety than it is to stop the pattern, stop the cycle, and replace it with a healthier choice and a new feeling about what typically triggers an irrational reaction. This may seem completely contradictory to most, but the reality is that correcting a dog’s irrationality will actually help them work through their anxiety rather than wallow within it.

What a fearful dog needs in times of stress is the exact opposite of what we humans assume... Tough love. In other words, Leadership.

Providing structure and order is by far the most loving and caring thing we can do for our fearful pups! So if the goal is to make our scaredy-cat their most happy self, doing the tough stuff in the moment will make way for far more happy in the long run!

The only thing we ever ensure, guarantee, or promise with INCONSISTENCY is a persistent lack of progress, and unnecessary confusion.

Inconsistent handling — where one person leans towards abandonment of all rules, restrictions, and structure because they feel mean or guilty for enforcing such, and the other human leans towards rigid rules and accountability for breaking them — only creates befuddlement.

Nothing kills continued, long term success with a family dog faster than INCONSISTENCY. A dog returning to a home-life filled with multiple handlers, from friends, to neighbors, to relatives, to kids, all with varying degrees of firmness, will find themselves quickly confused. It is THIS inconsistency that is the very reason we see a quick spiral of regression.

I’ve said this time and again... Maintaining a dog’s healthy, stable, reliable behavior post-training, has to be a Team Effort made by the entire family, AND whomever has direct contact or control over the dog! This means outsourced dog walkers, grandma, and daycare facilities too!

If we want consistent behavior from our dog, we and everyone else left in control, have to return the favor.

11/12/2024

Doesn’t it just feel so gooood to give your dog their every heart’s desire! AND to be the source of all that pampering! I mean, the sheer joy they bring when they perk up out of something we offer is unmatchable!

But what if what your dog actually desired didn’t feel so good to you, but was what they desperately yearned for in order to feel safe, content, and happy?

So oftentimes, what our dogs need for true wellbeing isn’t what we humans feel is fun at all!

For example:
— Can I crate you (even though I secretly hate putting you in a cage) because I know that this confined space brings you peace of mind to be able to tune out the chaos of the world around you.
— Can I make certain you spend time on Place (even though I’d much rather you be in my lap) because all this skin-time is creating an unhealthy attachment that seems to be getting worse.
— Can I restrict your free roam (even though I feel freedom would seemingly create the ultimate happiness), because I see it heighten your anxiety. You wouldn’t be pacing otherwise!
— Can I enforce the Heel command on our walks (even though chasing lizards & squirrels, and zig-zagging seems way more fun), because I know deep down that you feel unsafe and scared when your human isn’t leading you at all.

The human interpretation of HAPPY — gobs of treats, loads of affection & attention, unsupervised playtime, and unrestricted freedom — isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to ensuring it.

On the contrary, this misinformed, yet easy assumption, oftentimes will create the exact opposite for the pup that is more emotionally challenged — higher stress, increased anxiety, heightened arousal, hyper-territorial, overly protective, and intensely possessive.

What’s easy (and feels good to us) isn’t always what’s best for the dog.

Dogs carrying any emotional instability need a more personalized, counterbalanced version of LOVE — one nuanced with a balance of soft when earned, and stern when appropriately necessary.

Each dog requires a tailor-made version that serves both the needs of the dog, as well as the needs of the human. OUR job is to know where the dog falls on that personality spectrum, and to provide a very balanced approach to expressing our LOVE, and as a result, creating true happiness.

10/12/2024

Oh my gosh! That’s not MY dog! Wow! They’re so different and unbelievable. I never knew they were so capable and actually smart! They listen? What!?

So many off the chain, out of control, “annoyingly” hyper dogs leave their Board & Train with an entirely settled, calm, and stable state of mind, their owners never thought possible. That one time wrecking ball of a dog now politely waits for Permission with each interaction.

Here’s the thing... Until we address the “Crazy” we’ll never get to actually see our dog’s true self and potential. Their hyper-aroused state will override and dictate their behavior, where each choice is based off of their own selfish desire and gratification.

Uninterrupted, hasty energy will always lead to dereliction.

Address the crazy with no-nonsense boundaries and rules. Let your dog bump into a firm boundary and watch their choice change. A dog that has been clearly taught what’s acceptable or not, will reveal who they can truly become — settled, balanced, calm, and respectful. Owners quick to surrender their nutty dog for derailing their life, should simply consider putting in the effort needed to curtail what has been allowed up until that point.

The dog is living in your world. Define, instruct, and guide them to meet YOUR desires, or they will readily fill their own.

“Love” and affection will not…

— Turn bad behavior into good behavior
— Turn disrespect into consideration
— Turn insecurity into confidence
— Turn reactivity into stability
— Turn aggression into passivity
— Turn untrustworthiness into reliability
— Turn hyperactivity into calmness

Unless of course, we’re capable of actually Leading, which includes sharing all the not-so-fun stuff that teaches a dog what NOT to do.

Worried about connection, bond, and relationship, we forfeit what’s actually necessary (clear rules & boundaries) for what can become a truly transformative relationship. Attempting to fix unhealthy behavior by “loving” & smothering our dogs more, simply results in a worsening of our current issues.

If only affection, cuddles, treats, and toys were enough!

Instead, we need to think hard about what “love” truly entails — a more personalized, nuanced version with a balance of soft when earned, and stern when appropriately necessary.

OUR job is to know where our dog falls on the personality spectrum, in order to provide a very balanced approach to expressing our LOVE, and as a result, creating true happiness.

We can all LOVE our dogs better by Leading them more.

A common term thrown around in dog training is LEVERAGE. What is it exactly, and why is it important?

Let me try to explain: It’s the use of something SMALL to gain a really BIG return.

It’s the implementation of small resources/actions to gain an exponential return on time, effort, and freedom. It’s finding the 1% of activities or tasks, that when applied, produce a 4000% return on those very things we want more of — time & freedom.

When it comes to living with dogs — the small, easily ignored stuff like…

—Unhinged, inappropriate, non-stop excitement/arousal
—Mad-dashes out of a crate as soon as the latch has been unlocked
—Doorways that are wild and uncontrolled blasts past you
—Face diving into food bowls without waiting for permission
—Demands for attention through barking, whining, or nipping
—Irrational reactions to sounds or sudden movement
—Jumping on any and all people upon greeting
—Not listening to, or breaking commands

All can lead to BIG stuff like…

—Fence fighting
—Resource guarding food, space, objects, and even you
—Over-protectiveness, Territorialism
—Trigger-happy explosions on leash
—Dog-On-Dog aggression
—Stranger Danger
—Extreme, irrational suspicion
—Nipping, biting, and bullying other dogs, or even you
—Counter-Surfing
—Rude, dismissive, disregard, and disrespect
—Selective listening
—Unhealthy Processing issues
—Emotional dysregulation

Where any attempts at listening or deferring to our judgment are completely lost in translation.

Without creating LEVERAGE with the smaller stuff throughout our day with our dogs, we exponentially create more struggle, and way less harmony.

Small moments of dismissal lead to BIG, and oftentimes, dangerous moments of disregard.

We have to hinge on all the smaller contexts behind misbehavior in order to swing the big door of RESPECT. If we cannot control our dog in low pressure situations within our home, (sitting at major thresholds, waiting to be released from the crate, waiting for food, minding boundaries) we surely won’t be able to in a higher intensity environments.

By tackling our dog’s state of mind in those seemingly insignificant instances all throughout our day, we create LEVERAGE, that when applied, will produce a massive return on respect and harmony when we actually do need it.

Use LEVERAGE to fuel your interactions with your dog, and any other facet of your life that you want to exponentially improve! Radically optimize your home environment for calm, peace, joy, and SANE living. Make your home an emotionally safe and balanced environment for your entire family, dog included;)

What we don’t use, we lose.

The athlete that stops exercising will certainly lose strength, stamina, and endurance. The same concept would apply to the person learning a new language or skill.

If we don’t practice it regularly, we lose its precision.

Our dogs are no different.

Everything is fresh and sharp the first two weeks after training. The dog is well mannered, and Johnie-on-the-spot. Man! Things are pretty amazing, and you’re really enjoying your new life with your now well trained dog.

6 months later, things start to unravel.

Structure and accountability start to slip, and micro-transgressions go unchecked.

But not by the dog. They tally every instance their owner isn’t paying attention, and use that information to seize opportunity, and begin taking advantage once again.

A healthy mindset, reliable obedience, accountability, & daily structure aren’t temporary systems that once achieved to the healthiest level, can then be brushed aside & no longer practiced.

Dog ownership is a lifestyle of sustained and consistent guidance.

So it’s not how you BEGIN your new journey. It’s how you CONTINUE. Living with your dog is a lifestyle. The key to being successful with your dog is by staying CONSISTENT, and practicing regularly on how to live life in the healthiest fashion.

I wouldn’t have thought this possible even 5 days ago! Miss Evie is now starting her public access work!

A little over a week ago, this lil girl was so terrified of the unfamiliar, and most especially humans, that she would shut down, and play possum! We have worked hard to earn her trust and build a solid obedience foundation that we could use as leverage against the fear she tended to prioritize.

I just cannot believe this kiddo’s progress! Tt would have been impossible to walk this super nervy, terribly insecure kiddo ANYWHERE, let alone a store, without her putting on the brakes.

We’ve been working hard on conditioning Evie to defer to her humans, and look to the person that’s holding the leash for guidance. Tuning out the world and listening to her person is critical in developing a more stable state of mind. This process has involved a comprehensive program based in PERMISSION ONLY ACTIVITY, where every step and choice she’s made, has been managed and dictated by me. This has helped her learn to trust my guidance and leadership so that she can relent and let go of what’s holding her back.

We headed to Lowes today to start solidifying Evie’s obedience out in the real world. And her big bro, the rockstar, Lucky came along for moral support! Lowes is loaded with things a dog has never seen, heard, or smelled! And for spooky Evie, unfamiliar sounds, strangers, and large moving objects can have her flip to an unhealthy headspace where she loses focus.

Working around a ton of distraction like this desensitizes her to the unfamiliar, and helps her defer to her person when confronted with triggers that concern her. Having a Leader to guide Evie through her experiences, while also holding her accountable for any panic or irrationality, is key. She then learns to look to her person instead of being overly concerned about everything else around us.

Nice job kiddos!

IGNORING bad behavior (that feels good to the participant) IS NOT DISCIPLINE. It’s a green light, and about as rational and practical as dismissing a 4YR old’s choice to crayon a life size mural on your living room wall.

Disregarding a child’s bad choice isn’t going to stop them from making the same “fun” choice in the future. As a matter of fact, ignoring the behavior may just be what’s actually favored!

If you want a behavior to stop, the outcome for behaving poorly in any particular fashion has to be more distasteful than the actual doing. This goes for any fear-based, irrational response as well.

Ignoring jumping, ignoring fence fighting, ignoring resource guarding, or ignoring barking will never STOP any of it. Allowance, dismissal, and permissiveness are fast-passes for repetition. And what we allow has deep ramifications on what we create.

05/12/2024

Most of us tell our dogs WHAT to do, too little of the time. And as a result, we burden them with self mastery in an unpredictable HUMAN world, with no one to look to for guidance. The fallout of this neglect can be seen at the end of just about every leash.

Let’s all do our nervy dogs a favor! Give them some godforsaken direction! And watch the worry fade as they learn to process & self-regulate without lip or unhealthy compulsion!

05/12/2024

I used to exploit the term “rescue” and wear it as a badge of honor. Not only did it feel as if it anointed me to sainthood, but it also became the excuse for my dog’s really unhealthy, unstable behavior. It also relinquished my culpability, all while my dog’s wellbeing worsened.

When behavioral issues begin to creep in, we softhearted rescuers are quick to blame the matter on the dog’s past story of abuse or neglect, even in cases where the dog’s detailed history has never really been made clear.

Oh, don’t you worry. Let ME paint a picture of victimhood for you!

We hold onto “poor thing,” creating a perpetual victim incapable of growth or learning, and unwittingly fan the flames of a manic, panicked, stressed out, hyper-responsive, severely unstable, shell of a dog.

Yes, having sympathy for a dog’s past is a good thing, and having some history of the dog’s background can drop clues about their CURRENT behavior, but these details also have the ability to do more harm than good when they keep all of us unhealthily STUCK in the past.

What if we changed our story from broken, to that of potential, resilience, and capable of so much more if we just simply challenged the dog to grow. This simple flip into a more positive headspace would create a profound impact on the final result.

Ask yourself these questions: Does your well intentioned pity enhance your rescue’s ability to healthily maneuver through the world? And does feeling sorry for them strengthen YOUR ability to guide and instruct?

It is our duty to see our dogs as they are IN THE MOMENT and not lock them in their past where growth becomes an impossibility.

When the eagerness to make our poor rescue feel loved and secure overrides their need for structure, rules, boundaries, and accountability, we quickly see why the dog remains perpetually broken.

If we could separate our emotions from what is actually needed (guidance, rules, accountability, and the appropriate pushing), we could truly help our rescues live to their fullest potential. But that would mean we would have to let go of the story that elicits a heroes attention, and also feeds the misplaced desire to feel needed by those we keep stuck.

At the end of the day, Porter’s story was about ME. Not him. Now it’s about him, what he taught me about myself, and what he continues to teach the world through me.

Well Peeps!

We have another dramatic transformation for a one time, fiercely fearful 3 yr old dog, with some serious territorial/protective aggression.

You see, Via was okay outside of her home — at least she wasn’t lunging or trying to bite dogs or stranger. Groomers, vet techs, dog parks & daycares (although we never advise), and public access adventures did little to trigger this high anxiety girl to growl or snap. Put her back at home base, and Via would attack ANYONE that came through the door, even those she’s known since early adoption, like her Mom’s Sister (also her roommate)!

So what can happen in a handful of highly structured weeks for an insecure, nervous, unpredictable dog with a bite history?

A whole lot!

Via spent 6 weeks at PAWSitively Calm,LLC, undergoing a full behavioral makeover. As with every dog with major behavioral issues, the primary ingredients for a complete transformation are clear relationship dynamics, boundaries and rules that are consistently enforced, a permission-only lifestyle, settling the overactive mindset, proofing mindset around unpredictability, cultivating SOLID impulse control, reliable on and off-leash obedience, the right tools to ensure compliance, and a bit of dog whispering magic.

Of course, we also insisted upon play with other dogs and snuggles with us!

And last, but certainly not least, we educated the Via’s owner — not just how to give a handful of fancy parlor tricks, nor how to function the tools necessary for reinforcement, but the incredibly important “why’s” behind Via’s tendencies, and how the owner’s interactions contributed to Via’s unhealthy behavior, or hindered the potential for any progress.

Put all that juicy stuff together, and you’ve got a pretty solid map for continued success. We’re not talking about the success behind solid obedience. We’re referring to the success of a dog that has found true wellbeing and an owner that has done the work to become the person her dog requires of her!

Meet Charli, Peeps!

This cutie-patootie is here to address a laundry list of unhealthy habits fueled by intense insecurity, anxiety, and hyper-arousal. Jumping, Incessant Barking/Whining, Pulling On Leash, Stranger Danger, Nipping when feeling pressured, Charging the Front Door, Toxic Dependency, and just plain not listening.

No different than any of the other fear reactive pups we’ve had prior, Charli has a MAJOR insecurity issue, and cannot seem to find that off switch of contentedness, most especially when anything unexpected occurs!

So stay tuned while we get this girlie into a healthier headspace so that her family can trust her around the unpredictable!
