Don’t let labels or “rules” from the internet convince you your dog can’t change.
Even with challenges like littermate syndrome (or reactivity, aggression, and more), there’s always room for transformation.

🎥 This clip is from our Bark About Behavior series on littermate syndrome - but the message applies to all kinds of behavioral struggles.

Recovery matters: the way your dog comes back down is just as important as what set them off.

After your dog gets lit up—whether from joy or distress—we often hurry to move on. But that’s when the most important work begins: helping them come back down.

Assisted recovery isn’t about endlessly soothing your dog. It’s about:
✅ Speeding up the process of calm.
✅ Building trust and confidence.
✅ Teaching the skills that lead to long-term change.

Every recovery you guide isn’t just a reset—it’s a ripple that reshapes your dog’s emotional patterns. Over time, those ripples add up to lasting transformation.

Don’t skip recovery. It’s not a side note—it’s part of the cure.

Normally, Bark About Behavior is free.
But this month, we’re doing something different.

We’re donating 100% of proceeds to support World Central Kitchen - bringing meals to communities in crisis.

Choose your price ($5, $10, $15, $25, or $50) and join us for a thoughtful conversation on Separation Anxiety in Dogs. (Stick around for the Q&A too!)

Most people think good dog training is about stepping in at the right time.
But if you’re always stepping in, something’s missing.

The real win is when your dogs don’t need you because they’ve learned how not to stress each other out in the first place.

If we’re always micromanaging every move - sit here, don’t jump there, leave that - what happens when we’re not there to call the shots?

"'He normally loses his mind when he sees a bike... tonight, 4 bicycles went by and he didn't react to any of them. He only looked at them and put his head back down. Not a peep!' - Maria ✨

THIS is what real relaxation training creates. Dogs who can CHOOSE calm instead of reacting.

BD Challenge starts Monday, August 25th.
