    74 | 4 Ways to Show Up as the Leader Your Dog Needs

    Hey Dog Lover! 🐾 We hear all the time that dogs need a leader—but what does that actually mean? Leadership isn’t about control; it’s about being someone worth following…to a dog. And here’s the catch: your dog doesn’t follow just anyone. They follow someone who truly understands them. In this episode, we’re breaking downfour key ways to be a leader your dog actually wants to follow—by learning who they really are, what fulfills them, and how to show up in a way that makes them feel safe, seen, and understood. ✅Know Thy Dog → Leadership starts with understanding.✅Meet Their Needs, Not Yours → True leadership means fulfilling whatthey need, not what’s convenient for us.✅Communicate in a Way They Understand → Dogs follow energy, movement, and clarity—not words.✅Be Worthy of Their Trust → Trust is earned through consistency, advocacy, and reliability. You’ll learnhow to shift from ‘owner’ to true leader, how to make yourself more relevant to your dog, and how to build the kind of trust that makes them WANT to follow you. No more bribing, micromanaging, or relying on obedience tricks—just real, meaningful connection. Hope you enjoy this episode!— Tracy Next Steps: 🐶Ready to help your fearful dog build confidence?
