Most people meet dogs from above.
Standing tall. Reaching over their head. Invading their space.
To us, it’s normal. To a dog, it can feel intimidating.
One of the fastest ways to build trust with a dog is to get on their level. Kneel down. Turn slightly sideways. Let them come to you. *AS LONG AS THEY AREN’T AGGRESSIVE”
The moment you remove the pressure, you’ll often see a completely different dog.
More curiosity.
More confidence.
More engagement.
Dogs don’t just respond to what we do—they respond to how we make them feel.
Sometimes the difference between a dog that avoids you and a dog that connects with you is simply lowering yourself enough to see the world from their perspective.
