So, I started waiting for my dog to calm down before leashing up... walks are way less chaotic now.

Funny how that "wait for calm" trick actually works on dogs, but telling a human to calm down is basically throwing gas on a fire. My dog just gives me that guilty side-eye, but my brother would probably start yelling about how he IS calm. Maybe we should all just treat each other like easily spooked puppies.

Saw my friend try that and her boyfriend just got louder.

That "calm down" rule changes everything.

Did you see that article about how telling someone to calm down usually backfires? It made me stop and think about my own reactions...
