Dogs don’t respond to words first.
They respond to energy.
Tension travels down the leash.
So does hesitation
So does confidence.
When handlers and owners feel rushed, unsure, or frustrated, dogs often:
• escalate
• hesitate
• shut down
• test boundaries
Not because they’re being difficult — but because the picture isn’t clear.
Calm, steady handling creates safety.
Predictable responses build trust.
Before adjusting your dog, check yourself:
Am I calm?
Am I clear?
Am I consistent?
👇 Question:
Where do you notice your own energy change during training?
