Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Dog Beneath the Behavior: Healing Chronic Stress and Creating Lasting ChangeBehavior isn't the problem-it's communication.

Behind every bark, growl, fearful retreat, anxious reaction, or shutdown is a dog trying to navigate the world with the nervous system they have. When we stop asking, "How do I stop this behavior?" and begin asking, "What is my dog experiencing?" everything changes.

In The Dog Beneath the Behavior, canine behavior specialist Nikki Ivey takes readers beyond traditional training to uncover the hidden role of chronic stress, fear, anxiety, and trauma in shaping canine behavior. Blending modern behavioral science with nearly three decades of professional experience, this compassionate guide offers a fresh perspective on why dogs behave the way they do-and how to create meaningful, lasting change.>Grounded in science and enriched with holistic approaches, this book explores the role of enrichment, nutrition, bodywork, supplements, flower essences, and other integrative therapies that support emotional well-being. You'll also find practical guidance for helping dogs navigate common challenges such as fear, generalized anxiety, noise sensitivity, and reactive behavior.

Whether you've adopted a fearful rescue, are raising a sensitive puppy, or simply want to deepen your understanding of the dog you love, The Dog Beneath the Behavior will help you see behavior through a new lens-one rooted in compassion, science, and hope.

Because when we heal the stress beneath the behavior, we create the opportunity for dogs to truly thrive.
