159 | Does Your Dog Actually Trust You? The Mistake Many Rescue Adopters Make
Episode 159
Monday, 8 December, 2025
🐾 Hey Dog Lover,Does your rescue dog really trust you… or are they just surviving politely?In this episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest mistakes new adopters make—assuming that a dog who cuddles, follows them, or “seems fine” is actually feeling safe. The truth? Trust goes deeper than tail wags or staying close.We’ll talk about what real trust looks like (hint: soft eyes, relaxed body, no bracing), how to spot the difference between affection and actual security, and how to approach this with curiosity rather than guilt. Because when your dog says “I don’t feel safe,” they’re not being stubborn—they’re being honest. And that’s powerful feedback.How interesting! 🐶We hope you enjoy this episode.Tracy xoxoxNext Steps 🐾👣Ready to take your relationship with your dog to the next level?Consider joining the Fearless Framework, our 12-month coaching program with monthly Zooms, community support, and everything you need to build a big, beautiful bond with your dog.👉 beyondobedience.ca/fearless🎵 Music Credit: Shawn Trotter – shawntrotter.com
