111 | Stuck in Stillness: How to Help Your Fearful Dog Move with Confidence {Dogonality Series}

Hey Dog Lover 🐾 Does fear stop your dog in their tracks? No barking. No bolting. Just frozen—staring, trembling, unable to take a single step forward. That’s not stubbornness. That’s survival mode. And for these sensitive souls, the stillness isn’t calm—it’s fear. No treat in the world will get your dog to move if their brain is locked in freeze mode. And no amount of “it’s okay” will convince them it is. In this episode, we’re digging into: Why your dog won’t move (and why forcing it doesn’t help) How to gently lead your dog out of the freeze and into trust Why stillness is a red flag—and what real progress actually looks like ✨ If you’re living with a sensitive soul, you need to be with us inside the Fearless Framework.
