As dog lovers, we all want to hug and kiss our animals, but sometimes that sends the wrong message.  Like humans, dogs deal with and handle stress differently. We always have to remember that they are animals, and they see the world differently than we do. Our job is to show them how to be safe and confident in this world of triggers, loud sounds, and new people.     Direct any comments or questions to: Info@toniunleashed.com  Visit our websites: www.healthypetproducts.net / www.toniunleashed.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthypetproducts/ https://www.instagram.com/toni.unleashed/  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/HealthyPetProducts / https://www.facebook.com/ToniUnleashed  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAMxTEiHqRkpWNakn4OA__A  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healthypetproducts / https://www.tiktok.com/@toni.unleashed  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/HealthyPetProducts/ / https://www.pinterest.com/ToniUnleashed/
