Trainers Tip: Did you know that your energy is one of the most important tools you have when it comes to working with animals, and it’s something we often overlook. Animals are incredibly intuitive, they can sense your emotions, body language, and tone of voice long before you even say a word. If you’re anxious, stressed, or frustrated, they will feel it and often mirror it back to you. Staying calm and collected is the best way to help them feel secure and confident. As controversial as some of Cesar Millan’s methods are (and yes, we know they’re outdated), one thing he always got right is the importance of energy. Whether you’re working with a nervous rescue, a reactive dog, or even just your happy-go-lucky pet at home, the energy you bring to any situation sets the tone. Animals thrive on calm, confident leadership, it gives them a sense of safety and clarity. If you’re inconsistent or erratic, they’ll pick up on that and it can confuse them. It’s especially vital with rescues or nervous animals; they need your steady presence to feel like they can trust you. If you want to improve the way you communicate with your pets, start with your energy. Pause, breathe, and make sure you’re centered before you interact with them. Your energy should say, “I’ve got this, and so do you.” This doesn’t mean you have to be perfect all the time, but it’s a reminder that they’re watching and learning from you constantly. If they’re barking, pulling, or misbehaving, resist the urge to match their frustration. Instead, take a step back, slow everything down, and bring calmness into the situation. It’s amazing how quickly they respond when you adjust your energy. Remember, animals don’t understand words the way humans do, but they understand the way you make them feel. The bond you build with them comes from being someone they feel safe with, and that starts with the energy you bring into every interaction. If you focus on this, you’ll not only see positive changes in their behaviour but also deepen the connection you share with them. #florisfrendsrescue #dogcharities #dogcharityuk #animalcharity #dogtraining
