Synergy Veterinary Behavior

Sometimes we do too much with our dogs. 🐕

Whether it's repeating cues like a broken record, micro-managing how they exist on leash or in our home, or setting too-high expectations for behavior(s) that aren't nailed, we're all guilty of this at times!

All of these situations risk increasing a dog's stress, setting them up for "failure", increasing our own frustration, or undoing progress we've already made. Or all of the above!

Having a "less is more" approach can teach us patience. Preserving a dog's agency and ability to make appropriate choices helps reduce stress and better meet their needs.

We'd love to see your pup sniffin' like the best of 'em! 👃
