The Pet Connection by Dr. Mar Doering Animals are very sensitive to the emotions around them; all emotions, and you can’t fake your way through it. Pets will catch you in the lie every time. If you are excited, talking very loud or feeling anxious, your pet will pick up your excitement or anxiety and get more excited or anxious, too. Your calm reinforces their calm. Working with pets had taught me the importance of being my calmest and best self for their sake. It has helped me to become a better person overall. And I know from working with my own pack that if my dogs are acting out, I should look to myself to see what I am doing that has caused this behavior. I almost always find that it’s coming from me and not them. So, if you’re coming back home to see your pets after a tough day at work, take a few moments to relax yourself and leave any negative emotions at the door. Take a deep breath. Think positive thoughts before you enter your home. You’ll feel better for doing it and so will your pet. I know this sounds simplistic, but try it, watch your pets’ reactions and let me know how it works.
