The good news? Resilience can be nurtured. In this presentation, dog behavior expert Kim Silver, joins us to talk about what resilience looks like in dogs, why some dogs find it harder to cope than others, and most importantly, how pet parents can help. We’ll explore practical ways to build resilience to make life easier for all dogs and especially those who need extra support. Whether your dog is sensitive, anxious, or struggles with change, this conversation will give you tools to help them feel safer, more confident, and ready to thrive.
