Something I see often, and it matters to say it clearly. Sometimes the dog is not the only one who needs support on a walk. Owners, you carry your own history, your own fears, and your own expectations. I know I did. And those things are real. They affect how a walk feels before it has even begun.

In this post, I want to share what the experience was like, the people I met, and what this recognition truly means as I continue to build Barkshire Dog Training.
