You’re Not Changing a Dog’s Behaviour. You’re Re-patterning the Human Field It Emerges From.

In the toughest canine behaviour cases — trauma, aggression, reactivity, and multi-symptom profiles — traditional tools often fall short. This blog introduces a powerful reframing: behaviour isn’t just something inside the dog. It’s the product of the human relational field they are interpreting every day. Drawing on the emerging discipline of Canine Neurobiological Systems Science (CNSS), this piece explores why behaviour change stalls, how caregivers unconsciously shape outcomes, and what practitioners must shift to achieve lasting change. Written for professionals working at the edge of complexity, this article challenges everything you’ve been taught about where change really begins.
