When motivated by love, forward growth is not only possible, but achievable.

Sharing a Sits & Wiggles Pet Services post from a year ago:

The photos we share (always with prior written agreement) of our client animals demonstrate comfortable, confident & content canines & felines. However, many are fearful, anxious and/or reactive. With animal knowledge, patience & compassion, Sits & Wiggles' handlers have earned the trust of both the animal & the person. We respected each animal's time frame, non verbal cues, & more to become extended family members. These incredible creatures have welcomed us into their worlds, yet may still be reactive, anxious or fearful with strangers.

Please remember that animals, like people, are individuals. They may not like everyone. They may take their time to warm up to someone new. They may have various triggers. Every creature deserves respect. Personal timelines should be honored. Nothing should ever be forced. When motivated by love, forward growth is not only possible, but achievable.
