The barking, the shutting down, the growling, the flinching — these aren’t behaviors to fix. They’re the body speaking. Just like people, dogs hold onto fear, grief, and unprocessed experience in their nervous system. When that goes unaddressed, it shows up as reactivity, anxiety, or disconnection.
