As a society, we often feel like our dogs need to be “normal” in order to be considered “good”… We put a lot of pressure on our dogs to act a certain way, and often it’s because we feel like we have to or we’re not considered “good” owners. We get fed a lot of information about what a “normal” dog should look like via social media, tv, movies, etc. This often creates a false expectation and puts a lot of blame on us as owners when our dogs don’t fit that construct. But let’s be real, most dogs have “problematic behaviours” such as barking at triggers, walking subpar on-leash, not coming when called, not liking kids or not coexisting with other kinds of animals. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t work on these challenges or work on our training goals, but what it does mean is that we need to approach these goals with realistic and fair expectations - not only for our dogs, but for ourselves. A “normal” dog does not mean that our dogs don’t have challenges or problems. It means that we work towards bettering our dogs and ourselves, while also giving grace, kindness & patience. What are your dog’s challenges or “problematic” behaviours? How do you give yourself and your pup kindness and patience?
