Calm Pets = Happy Pets
Let’s repeat that: CALM PETS ARE HAPPY PETS. Think about what frame of mind your pet is in when they are being naughty. Reflect on your state of mind when calm vs. excited. When are you most apt to listen? When are you thinking most clearly? Intentionally fostering a calm mindset is one of the best things you can do for your relationships with animals.
The first step is taking care of yourself.
Every day.
Take care of you, for them.
Take advantage of your daily pet chores and interactions by setting intentions before you begin.
The smallest things can make the biggest difference with just a little planning.
