Being Kind to your Dog is not "Weak".

Claiming power over and suppressing another's emotions doesn't take strength or skill.

Learning to de-center yourself and examine your role in relationships with other humans and animals takes immeasurable power and control. Of yourself, not other beings.

The general public thinks they know about dogs and dog behavior. Spoiler alert: they don't. The only advice you should entertain is that of a certified training and behavior professional who doesn't blame and shame you for caring about your dog's wellbeing.

Accessibility: white words on a black background say: Being kind to your dog is not "weak" or "soft". Advocating for them in the face of society's unrealistic expectations and misinformation is what takes actual grit.
