About this listen
🐾 Hey Dog Lover,
Does your rescue dog really trust you… or are they just surviving politely?
In this episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest mistakes new adopters make—assuming that a dog who cuddles, follows them, or “seems fine” is actually feeling safe. The truth? Trust goes deeper than tail wags or staying close.
We’ll talk about what real trust looks like (hint: soft eyes, relaxed body, no bracing), how to spot the difference between affection and actual security, and how to approach this with curiosity rather than guilt. Because when your dog says “I don’t feel safe,” they’re not being stubborn—they’re being honest. And that’s powerful feedback.
How interesting! 🐶
We hope you enjoy this episode.
