The “Hot Headed” Dog (Part 2 of 6)
It’s Not Just Behavior
Let’s talk about the dog everyone labels.
You know the one.
“dominant”
“stubborn”
“pushy”
“aggressive”
Now let’s look at that differently.
Because a lot of these dogs aren’t trying to be difficult.
They’re overloaded.
In the Wood Element, the liver controls the smooth flow of energy.
When that flow is working, you get:
confidence
direction
drive
When it’s not…
You get:
frustration
irritability
quick reactions
explosive behavior
These dogs don’t build slowly.
They go from zero to reaction fast.
And if you’re only addressing behavior…
You’re missing the reason it’s happening.
