Speak Up for Your Dog - What to do when a friend hits your puppy, family shaves your dog, a vet is rough, your partner hates your dog, or relatives call normal behavior aggression #1012531

Your friend swats your puppy for jumping. Your family shaves your long-haired dog bald "to help." A vet is rougher than you expected, your partner keeps calling your dog a problem, and your sister watches a video and says your dog is aggressive. You freeze, you smooth it over, and then you lie awake wondering whether you let your dog down. Speak Up for Your Dog is a calm, practical guide for the moment after someone mishandles or misjudges your dog, and for everything you can set up so it happens less. It is not a rehoming guide, a body-language decoder or a bite-aftermath manual; it is about advocating for your dog with the people in your life, from relatives and friends to a partner, a vet and a groomer, and about honestly telling whether the other person has a point. Inside, you'll learn: You do not have to choose between your dog and your people. You can learn to speak up early, kindly and firmly, and your dog will notice the difference.
