118 | Your Dog Can Smell Your Stress-Now What?

Hey Dog Lover 🐾 Did you know your dog can smell your stress? Not just sense it—literally smell it. Cortisol has a scent, and our dogs pick up on it long before we say a word. In this episode, we’re unpacking how your dog reads your nervous system, why different Dogonalities™ respond in unique ways, and how to shift from reaction to calm, connected leadership. You’ll walk away with a fresh understanding of why obedience isn’t the answer—and what to focus on instead to build real trust and safety. Hope you enjoy! ~ Tracy Your next steps 🐾 🌀 Take the Dogonality™ Quiz – Discover your dog’s unique personality so you can meet them where they are. 💬 Join the free community: Living Beyond Obedience Facebook Group – A place for curious, kind, dog-loving humans like you. ✨ Ready to take the next step?
