More confident, more emotionally balanced, less anxious, less in a hurry, quicker to problem solve than to anger?<\/p>\n<p>Are your dog\u2019s issues exposing issues for yourself that need work?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a very rare appointment in which the dog I\u2019m working with isn\u2019t reacting from the human\u2019s issues and\/or wouldn\u2019t benefit from the human growing, challenging, progressing, developing themselves into more fully balanced, heathy versions of themselves.<\/p>\n<p>If you only look for the problem your dog is offering, that is all you\u2019ll find.
