I actually read an article on the same topic not too long ago - and I know I too have been victim of causing tension on the other end of the leash (oops!) Great reinforcement that your relationship with your dog is truly a team effort :)SherBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747920430505301191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-36885964747855189592013-05-21T09:05:38.767-05:002013-05-21T09:05:38.767-05:00It's great that the root of the problem was fo...It's great that the root of the problem was found! I definitely stopped walking Eddie for several months when I realized I was tensing up and making the situation worse. If I went on his walk, I was not the one holding the leash. I also had issues with it in horseback riding after a bad experience - despite many years of good experience, my muscles would just tense up and the horse would sense it. I was better if I hadn't ridden in a few weeks and lost that muscle memory. Dogs are so similar in that manner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-61456787251529923342013-05-20T23:44:25.936-05:002013-05-20T23:44:25.936-05:00Neko is a beauty.

We are doing better now, too. <br /><br />I call it 'channeling my inner zen' when I let out a deep calm exhale and talk to my dog. We are both much more relaxed.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about at all! You're both learning how to love each other and to be yourselves in the best possible way. By sharing, you're helping other people in the same situation learn that they're not alone and that there may be a solution to the problem.
