Description

Hey Dog Lover 🐾
What if your biggest goal right now wasn’t ā€œget the dog outsideā€ā€”
but build enough trust that they want to go with you?

In this episode, I share a real-life story from one of our new Facebook group members: Wendy, whose 6-month-old shelter pup is afraid to even step outside.
No walks. No potty. Just pads and a whole lot of uncertainty.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth:
Fearful dogs don’t need to be forced into bravery.
They need someone to believe in first.

We’ll explore:

  • Why trust is more important than ā€œgetting outsideā€

  • The power of daily patterns to calm a nervous system

  • How to stop pushing and start following your dog’s curiosity

  • What ā€œBE Withā€ looks like in real life

  • Why comfort zones aren’t a problem—they’re a starting point

This isn’t about ā€œtraining through fear.ā€
It’s about becoming someone your dog can lean into, not away from.

Hope You Enjoy This One!

Cheers

Tracy

šŸ• Next Steps:

If your dog shuts down, resists going outside, or just doesn’t feel safe in the world yet—this is exactly why I created the Fearless Framework.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:
āœ… Break the fear cycle
āœ… Build real trust (before asking for more)
āœ… Create a calm, predictable rhythm
āœ… Go from ā€œpotty pad onlyā€ to peaceful, connected walks

šŸŽ‰ This isn’t obedience.
It’s the foundation for everything that comes after.
