1. Are you pretending everything is all good when it’s not
I know that we are all guilty of thinking all is well when it is not and our dogs sniff the guiltiness off of us. We should cherish this beautiful intuition about our dogs is their sense of being in touch when we are out of touch with our daily emotions.
You know pretending to be all groovy when we feel all snoopy and droopy. I think just a bit too much Austin Powers re-runs for me but I think you get the point.
Your Dog is programmed to study your body reactions whether are you super excited or feeling heavily down which is what makes them great companions. Let us keep it real with our dogs.

I plead before cast you to throw your next party with your dog please keep in dogs are still dogs as much as humans are still humans.
