Is your dog worried about the world? Could they benefit from a dose of optimism?
Everything in your dog’s world could be good or bad, friendly or scary, depending on their level of optimism. Some dogs are born optimists, while others are naturally more pessimistic in their outlook. Your dog’s level of optimism can influence how they feel about everything, from meeting new people and dogs to handling everyday situations like vet visits and car rides.
Ever seen your dog startle at a familiar object placed in a new spot? Or get spooked by something unusual on a walk? Some dogs take novelty in their stride, while others can find it a little more challenging.
The great news is that optimism is like a muscle that can be strengthened and flexed through fun training games you can play at home. Just like you might build up your own muscles in the gym, your dog’s optimism can be boosted by making sure you’re regularly including optimism games in their day. A more optimistic dog is happier and more resilient.
But it's not just about building optimism—it's also about protecting it. Pay attention to everyday events that might dent your dog's optimistic sparkle and provide support when needed.
