So often, social media and popular culture try to draw you in on an emotional level to internalize your dog’s behaviour.
Why?
Because you hold the credit card.
Now, I’m not saying that our behaviour and interactions don’t impact our dog’s, because they do. What I am saying is that the more you believe that your dog’s behaviour is your fault and there is something wrong with YOU, the more ideas, products and services can be sold to you because you are emotionally vulnerable.
The moral compass of right and wrong when it comes to behaviour is not helpful.
Shift the perspective to “is this healthy?”
Emotions run high when it comes to our dogs. They are family. This is understandable.
When you can start to look at behaviour as a function you will have a clearer understanding of how to help your dog.
