A dog filled with immense confusion and fear regarding the success of the pack–and doing whatever it takes to ensure it.
Your dog is a pack animal evolutionarily hardwired to look to a composed, confident leader for survival.
But our society teaches us to look at our dogs as a crutch to support our own emotional state and well-being.
We project our anxiety, stress, and trauma onto them with the expectation they will be well behaved.
However, what we don’t realize is that we’re creating conditions that leave our dogs feeling disregulated and unable to meet our definition of success.
"My dog, Huck Finn, had been in my life for about two years before being introduced to Sasha -- and since working together and beginning to make shifts to adopt the leadership role and communicate in a way my dog can understand, I've seen dramatic shifts in his behavior. I began to realize that many of his behaviors I thought were normal were actually symptoms of stress and anxiety. Since working with Sasha and taking her masterclass, I've begun to observe a much more calm and centered dog who is enabled to show up as the best version of himself because I am finally creating the environment for him to."
