FETCH First Friday: What Our Dogs Reveal - Shadow Work in Conscious Canine Care
Description
What if the behaviours that frustrate you most in your dog aren’t just about them… but about you?
In this episode of FETCH First Friday, we explore the tender and transformative topic of shadow work—the hidden parts of ourselves our dogs so often bring to light.
You’ll hear us talk about:
- What the “shadow” actually is (and why it’s not bad)
- How dogs mirror the emotions and patterns we’ve pushed away
- Personal stories of the moments our dogs revealed something we didn’t want to see
- Why reactivity, over-protectiveness, control, or guilt in our dogs often invite us to look inward
- A gentle, step-by-step way to begin this work without shame or blame
This conversation sits at the heart of Curiosity and Holistic Health, two pillars of the FETCH framework.
Because the truth is: our dogs are not just companions. They’re sensitive, empathic beings who often carry or reflect what we’re not yet ready to hold.
And when we start to see these patterns with compassion, something shifts.
Not just for them, but for us.
If you’ve ever wondered why a certain behaviour from your dog feels so activating—or if you’ve sensed your dog is here to teach you something deeper—this episode is for you.
