🐶 Embracing the Awkward: Why Your Dog's Training Jitters are Totally Normal (and How to Help Them Chill Out!) 😎

“When you try to break a habit or change your routine, it feels weird right? You're so used to doing things a certain way that anything new feels uncomfortable.” - Jt Clough

So, you've started a new training program with your dog, and you're feeling a bit anxious about the whole thing. Maybe your pup seems a little nervous, skittish, or just plain confused about what's going on. Well, guess what? That's totally normal! 🤗

Think about it this way: when you try to break a habit or change your routine, it feels weird, right? You're so used to doing things a certain way that anything new feels uncomfortable.

It's the same for your dog!

They're used to acting a certain way, and now you're asking them to change. It's like trying to write with your left hand – it just feels strange! 🙃

With that said, here's shy skittish and anxious feel normal...😱👊

When you start training your dog to be calm

So, when you start training your dog to be calm, they might act skittish or anxious because calmness is a foreign concept to them. They're not trying to be difficult; they're just trying to get back to what feels "normal" for them.

But don't worry, my friend! With patience, effort, and lots of love, you can help your dog embrace the pawsitive change! 🐶❤️ It's all about retraining their brain to associate calmness with safety and happiness. And guess what? You might just learn a thing or two about embracing change yourself along the way! 😉

So, keep at it, dog peeps! You and your best dog friend are in this together, and with a little understanding and a whole lot of love, you'll be on your way to a calmer, happier life in no time! 🎉
