Never Punish Growling !!

What do you do when a dog growls? Tell off, sshhhh, no, how dare you ! Do you say one of them?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Now think about yourself. What do you do when you are angry, have enough of what is happening around you? What do you say to let others know about your emotions, how you feel, what others should do not to upset you even more?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Mostly, dogs are punished when they growl. Later, they are punished because they bite! They get the label of " aggressive dog" who needs to be removed from home due to small kids, or other reasons.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

However, when you think about it from the communication side they growl to let you know " I can't handle it. You push me too far. Please, leave me alone or I will have to bite you so you understand that I DON'T WANT TO BE STROKE ANY MORE. I WANT TO SLEEP. I have enough of being pulled by my ears or tail. SIMPLY BACK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What would you say to others when you feel angry? Pretty the same words. So why punish a dog who communicates with you to let you know that. If you were punished by saying " I had a bad day, I need a peace" and you have been told off then your next step would be "shouting" to be heard, because "saying" was punished last time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Please, don't ignore growling but listen to your dog what he/she is trying to say. Help him/her to avoid that extremely bad emotion to be calm, happy and heard. Respect his/her needs and what he/she likes/ dislikes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They have a unique personality and that, they are dogs, doesn't mean they have to like/accept everything.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As well, for dogs it takes 3 days to calm down from reaching the top of the pyramid. So if they build the stress level over a certain period without any possibilities to release that tension, they are more likely to bite. That's why, mental stimulation, walks, sniffing, licking, good sleep and full tummy are so important to keep a healthy balance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why everyone is so sceptical about dog healing?

Energy healing is becoming popular in many different ways for humans. The same healing is available for dogs, but there is one key difference: the human brain blocks this amazing healing potential for dogs.

The Biggest Mistake during Puppy Socialisation

By NM165199 • February 18, 2025
They follow a long list of objects, places, and transport methods for socialization… but half of those things they’ll NEVER actually use in their real life! Here’s the truth If it’s not part of your lifestyle, your puppy will forget it by the time they grow up. A dog’s brain is like a muscle —if you don’t practice, it disappears. Instead of trying to socialize your puppy to everything, focus on what truly matters in your life: If you go to the pub on Sundays, socialize your pub there. If you grab a coffee every weekend, bring your puppy along. If you travel by train often, make sure your puppy gets used to it. Love car trips? That’s where your puppy needs exposure to the car. And here’s another HUGE mistake—if your puppy is anxious or stressed about something, the solution is NOT to keep exposing them to it over and over again. More exposure doesn’t fix fear! Healing does. Emotion Code removes trapped emotions from the subconscious so the socialisation is quicker and calmer. Forget the checklist—socialize your puppy for the life you actually live, and always put their well-being first. Create YOUR own Checklist!

Don't let the past hold you back from loving your dog!

January 24, 2025
When you bring a new puppy into your life, but carry the trauma of a past loss (dog attack, illness, or even the heartbreaking death of a beloved dog) it can create an invisible barrier. That unhealed pain can affect your relationship with the new puppy. Instead of building a bond of trust, you'll find yourself projecting fear and overprotectiveness, unintentionally pain which can block their ability to grow, explore, and build confidence. It is similar to relationships with people. If we don’t heal from a past breakup, we step into new connections carrying old wounds, making it impossible to fully commit and risking repeating the same patterns. Healing is essential. By listening to your own emotional scars, you open yourself to hear yourself and to heal the pain. Don't rush, don't replace to avoid the pain. Your puppy doesn’t know your past, nor should they live in the shadow of it. They deserve your unconditional love and trust, and you deserve the joy of a stress-free, flourishing bond. Heal yourself, so you and your puppy can connect together. Create that unbreakable connection from a place of love, not fear.
