Pawfect Behavior

I know that’s not what it feels like when your dog is jumping all over your guests.

But stay with me.

Atlas jumps on every single person who walks through my door.

Apollo loses his mind when someone knocks.

Mufasa used to charge the door before I could even get to it.

Three different behaviors.

Same root cause.

A brain that doesn’t know how to handle big feelings.

Jumping isn’t rudeness. It’s a dog with no other outlet for excitement.

Reactivity at the door isn’t aggression. It’s a brain in panic with no off switch.

Can’t settle down isn’t stubbornness. It’s a brain stuck in high gear.

When you understand what’s actually happening, the answer changes completely.

Comment NERVOUS and I’ll send you what actually addresses the brain problem behind all three of those behaviors. Every day those patterns go unaddressed, they get more hardwired. 🐾
