Quotes
“There’s a lot of research done into human behavior as far as trauma and anxiety, and we’re starting to learn more about how that applies to the animal kingdom.”
“We often miss the smaller signals that our dogs are sending us that they aren’t feeling safe.”
“Just because we might perceive something as not being dangerous, doesn’t mean that our dogs don’t perceive it as being dangerous”
“You are actually creating long term biological success by being safe, calm and happy”
