🐕 Let’s Talk About Hackles! Ever seen your dog’s hair stand up along their back?
Those raised hackles aren’t always what you think...
MYTH BUSTER: Hackles ≠ Aggression
Think of hackles like human goosebumps - they’re an involuntary response showing arousal or heightened emotions.
Your Dog’s Hackles Might Mean:
• Excitement
• Surprise
• Uncertainty
• Interest
• Play intensity
• Alertness
• Overstimulation
• Insecurity
🔍 Location Matters:
• Shoulders only = Often uncertainty
• Full back = Higher arousal
• Base of tail = Possible defensive feelings
• Patchy raising = Mixed emotions
Pro Tip: Always look at the whole picture:
• Overall body language
• Tail position
• Facial expression
• Environmental context
• Other behavior signals
What To Do When You See Hackles:
✨ Stay calm - your energy affects your dog
✨ Assess the environment
✨ Give space if needed
✨ Monitor other stress signals
✨ Consider removing from overwhelming situations
Remember: Hackles alone don’t determine your dog’s emotional state - they’re just one piece of the body language puzzle!

💡Saturday Tip💡
Start training in a low-distraction environment, like your home or backyard, before taking your dog to busier places. This helps them focus and build confidence! 🐾

🚪 Is your front door a stress zone?
Does this sound familiar?
📦 Package delivery = Dog bolting
🏃♀️ Going for a walk = Chaos at the door
👥 Guests arriving = Heart-racing moments
🔑 Just trying to leave = Escape artist in action
That precious second when your dog spots an open door shouldn’t send your heart into your throat.
But here’s the truth: Door dashing isn’t just annoying - it’s dangerous.
Your dog isn’t being stubborn or naughty. They simply haven’t learned that doors aren’t an invitation to adventure.
At The Mellow Canine, we transform doorway drama into calm confidence:
✨ Teach reliable door manners
✨ Build impulse control
✨ Create safety habits
✨ Develop door patience
✨ Establish entry/exit routines
Beyond Obedience: We’re not just training your dog to stay - we’re creating a mindset of calm confidence around doors.
Ready to make your front door stress-free?
