I think there's a certain type of person - I guess the ones who get all their information about "neurodivergence" through social media - who just kind of need to be told: Hey, the reason why people express doubt about you claiming to be autistic is not because autism has been "stereotyped" as this screaming non-verbal head-banging nursery rhyme and train obsessed young boy archetype (whom I'm sure you are probably very passionate about advocating for), it's because the diagnostic category of autism has widened and broadened so much in the latest years both within psychiatry but especially within pop psychology social media spaces that the image of autism you have been presented with is completely unrecognizable from the image of autism a lot of people have grown up with. This cannot be explained away with vague gestures towards "stereotyping" or "it's a spectrum", it's only a spectrum because some psychiatrists decided to pair a bunch of traits they saw occurring together under the same label but then sometimes they would occur with other traits and the chain just gets so long and the edges so far from each other, no single core to consistently unite all of it. And that's one thing but a lot of the things held up as "autism traits" on TikTok or Instagram infographics are just completely ordinary and trivial things. I've seen posts saying that being sensitive to conflict, scared of horror movies, having hobbies and interests, having strong moral beliefs, fidgeting (no reference to extent of fidgeting) and enjoying saying funny noises are all signs of autism and I just. A lot of the stuff I see is also just responding with stress to stressful situations, getting overwhelmed from socializing for a long time, struggling to balance home and work-life balance (this one was presented as a trait in autistic women hmm, I wonder why women specifically would struggle more to hold both a job and keep a household in order) and I think a problem is that a lot of people genuinely don't know that other people are also really fucking struggling because it's not visible most of the time, just as your suffering is not visible to others because you are "masking". I get that it feels good to get a label that kind of acknowledges and validates your suffering but there are other ways to do that, ways that don't make your suffering an essential part about who you are and encourages identity formation around it, it is also very likely that the people pushing for this broadening of the term are looking for customers to sell self-help to. It's a bit of a cliché to say that a lot of these problems are caused by capitalism but there is some truth to it, though it is reductive. A lot of people also just feel alienated because the way social dynamics are in many societies just are highly alienating, people interrogate and scrutinize each other's behavior all the time and everyone's hiding and performing so much and in a globalized ever accelerating neoliberal society, there are so many different kinds of constantly disrupting social spaces people find themselves in all the time, so many new forms of labor that require high degrees of emotional regulation and intuitiveness, and constant new norms being generated, no wonder more and more people feel like they "don't understand social norms". (This post is not an attack on any person who identifies as autistic or has low support needs though I am highly critical of the ontology of the diagnosis, it can be relevant to some people. You decide whether or not this post applies to you.)

Murderdock Headcanons

part 2

He has light freckles that spot over his shoulders and back

He enjoy tea and is very particular about how he makes it

He prefers white or green tea blends

He enjoys traditional Japanese food and clothing, though his relationship with his cultural upbringing is complex

To further: its a love/hate relationship, some things make him almost feel nostalgic while others remind him of the torture he endured while being raised by The Hand

He has a tattoo given to him by The Hand. My mind changes on what it is and where it is, but I generally imagine The Hand left some kind of brand on him somewhere

He met Elektra during his undergraduate studies while still living in Japan

This isn't exactly about Matt, but I usually imagine earth-65 Elektra as a man

He murdered Elektra after being instructed to do so by The Hand (it was a test of loyalty after they became aware of his and Elektra’s relationship)

Matt has a koi fish pond on the rooftop of his penthouse

When he's alone/at his penthouse, he will often stop what hes doing and. sit. on the floor or wherever. Mostly, it's when he wants to meditate

Most of his clothes are silk or a hyperspecifc polyester blend he had specially made

He owns the entire building his penthouse is in. He did this so he could clear out several floors below him to create a barrier for noise reduction

He was the biggest Mama's boy before Maggie passed, followed her everywhere and did everything with her

After she got ready for an audition, Maggie would have Matt stand on her toes and dance with her in the kitchen, it was a little ritual they had, she claimed it brought her good luck

Maggie's face is one of the only that Matt can still remember clearly. Even Jack's faded after a while, but Maggie's still appears in his dreams

Matt often gets nightmares, it leads to him being a bit of an insomniac

He trains regularly with Otomo to keep his skills sharp

His scarring is the worst on his back (between his shoulder blades), on his inner thighs, and around his eyes

He almost always has music playing in his penthouse, he own dozens of records and a (very expensive) record player

Alright there ya go!! Hope you liked them :)

I can't get my fave girl out of my miiiiiiind

maya sakamaki random headcanons pt 2

she actually trains herself to become immune from vampire poisons and stuff. she's immune from human poison but ever since turning as a vampire, she easily knocks out or gets suffocated from reiji's poison stash (had to train so karl won't dispose of her as the sakamaki doll soon)

maya ate one of her classmate's dream bcos apparently this one girl saw laito having sex with a girl from the library while drinking her blood and she went batsht yandere on her own, having fantasies abt being the one with laito instead. maya had to eat that dream bcos she has no faith this human can be trusted.

there was a time when she showed kanato the answer to the tests via dream (and yes he passed bcos she just doesn't wanna deal with his tantrums over reiji not giving him his sweets)

she keeps a lighter in her bag and was mistaken by some classmates to be a smoker (nah she keeps it to burn all the people and vampires she killed bcos being a special maid requires leaving no evidence behind)

she can't sing for the life of her. however, kanato has noticed her humming "Someday My Prince Will Come" several times and he secretly likes it.

being the new master of the dream world, maya actually puts all laito's dreams and nightmares in the highly-classified info category. like it's so untouchable that only the dream master can see them.

there was a time in maya's original lore that gilbert and devyn (@secretarykang) spent the night together (like they were drunk and lonely). and karl made maya eat that dream a few years after so devyn won't remember. tbh maya said that dream was the most delicious dream tho.

maya killed this one teacher who almost stole yui's pe uniform (ofc main girl has no idea they have a perverted teacher) and buried him in cement from a construction site

up to this day, she is still unaware that subaru had that crush on her like the bros tease him every time he's left with her or when he offers to help her with the groceries but she just thinks he is either being helpful or annoying

ayato stole one of her colored pens bcos he thinks they bring good luck for his exams (it actually did tho for some reason)

despite her cherry obsession, she actually doesn't like smelling them on her. basically, anything citrus or fruity scents is a no for her. she only likes them on bathing products but as a perfume, she detests them.

she actually met one of her siblings in person. she just didn't know it was them. however, they knew her but they weren't allowed to introduce themselves to her under kanato's strict orders.

basically, this sibling knew it was her so kanato wanted to test if maya would be willing to meet them. turns out, she gets anxiety at the idea of them reappearing in her life so yeah you get the gist.

there was this one girl from another class who fell in love with her. like she found maya so beautiful every time she bakes and her elegance and air of dollness.

sadly, the girl died bcos she tried strangling kanato during after-class duties.

she actually hates cleaning laito and subaru's bedrooms. her fave would def be shuu's. reiji doesn't like anyone going to his room cause he be experimenting abt reviving beatrix. kanato's room is mostly organized bcos she always sleeps there. ayato's room is okay like the mess can be easily fixed in a few minutes.

when maya was still a newbie vampire, there was a time when she couldn't sleep at night bcos she heard yui and ayato having sex next door (like her heightened sense of hearing made it difficult for her to cover the noises)

she is browsing through catalogues of breast reduction surgeries bcos she believes her breasts are the reason she can't grow a bit taller

she doesn't know how to make keiichirou (@gingerall) forget the time when she gave him mental trauma (she still figuring it out like give her time huhu)

maya broke the glass of the family limo once by throwing a baseball on it. won't hesitate to do it again.

she has this nasty habit of chopping food loudly or placing the tableware or any dinnerware on the table with a thud whenever she's mad

Reiterating Our Position on AI.

Given this platform's recent intent to sell user data to generative AI companies, we had to put a lot of consideration into deleting this blog.

We're not going to. Yet.

To be clear, it has been and will always remain the position of the Voice of Dog that nothing of what we feature on the show is AI-generated. Submitted stories must be in your own words, which absolutely rules out AI, and we reserve the right to deny or remove a story if we have reason to believe AI--or any other means of plagiarism--has been used to make it. All the stories are by real members of the furry community. Any images are by actual artists, even if only on a let-me-ask-if-my-boyfriend-will-draw-that basis, as is tradition. The closest an AI will ever get to anything you hear from us is the spell-check in someone's word processor or the noise-reduction filter in someone's audio editing software.

We have zero confidence that the opt-out in the blog settings will be respected, especially given reports that Tumblr's intended enforcement mechanism is the honor system. This will stop nothing.

But given the possibility that it is an attempt to assemble a "clean" training database, that companies will attempt to claim is fully consensual despite inevitably containing data from writers and artists who did not in any consent, we are making the following statement: We do not consent for any material to be used for the purposes of training generative AI. Not one word. Not one pixel. Not one second of audio.

One factor in this has been that we don't anticipate that anything they take from us--and we expect they will, again, we have zero confidence that the opt-out will be in any way respected either by Tumblr or the companies they sell user data to--will actually be useful. Our episodes are not embedded. What will they get? The "today's story is-" intros, some promotion of author's other works, and URLs to where episodes can be listened to. None of that data is useful.

Another factor is that, if they want to copy and plagiarize our work, they don't need Tumblr's help to do it. The only way to keep them from copying the stories we tell would be to not tell stories, which is not an option and will never be an option. This does not constitute consent! The act of plagiarism is and remains reprehensible, but it is not on us to prevent you from practicing it against us. The fact we cannot realistically stop a plagiarist makes them more culpable, not less.

It remains very possible that this decision will cause the collapse of the community here, such that there will be no benefit to remaining.

Until such a time, So long as any soul has a story to tell, So long is any listener waits at the fireside, We will be here.

Thank you for listening to the Voice of Dog.

Tamaki fights plans to build SDF training site in Okinawa

(This article was compiled from reports by Nen Satomi, Taro Ono and Satsuki Tanahashi.)

NAHA--Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki called on Defense Minister Minoru Kihara to retract plans to build a Self-Defense Force training site in his prefecture as the central government moves to bolster defenses in the nation’s southwestern islands.

“We cannot agree with the project,” Tamaki told Kihara at the Okinawa prefectural government office here Feb. 17 during a meeting that lasted less than 30 minutes. “We want the government to take the plan back to the drawing board and review it.”

The Defense Buildup Program, one of the three national security documents the government adopted in 2022, calls for enhancing SDF capabilities in southwestern Japan, centered around Okinawa Prefecture, due to China’s growing presence in the East China Sea.

The document said the Ground SDF’s 15th Brigade, which is based in Naha and comprises around 2,000 members, will be reorganized into a division.

The GSDF plans to open a new training ground in Uruma, Okinawa Prefecture, to handle the range of exercises required for the expanded division.

“In the face of the most severe and complicated security environment Japan has faced after World War II, we can lose no time in drastically reinforcing our defense capabilities based on the three national security documents,” Kihara told Tamaki during the meeting.

The proposed training site lies next to a residential area.

Residents are concerned about noise issues and the potential for accidents. Neighborhood community associations had already called for scrapping the project.

The meeting with Kihara marked the first time for Tamaki to publicly express his opposition to the project.

“The government has been hastily pressing everything forward particularly after it published the three security documents,” Tamaki told reporters after the meeting. “Anxiety among many prefectural residents is only growing, not subsiding.”

Before his meeting with Tamaki, Kihara sat down for talks with the heads of 11 municipalities in Okinawa Prefecture that host U.S. military bases.

Uruma Mayor Masato Nakamura told Kihara, “We want the central government to take the voices of local residents seriously and give careful consideration to the issue.”

Tamaki and Kihara also remained far apart over the project to relocate the U.S. Marine Corp Air Station Futenma in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture, to Nago, also in the prefecture.

While Tamaki renewed his call for suspending reclamation work, Kihara stressed that the government would forge ahead with the divisive project.

The Defense Ministry started reclamation work in Oura Bay north of Henoko Point in Nago in January after land minister Tetsuo Saito approved design changes by proxy the previous month, overriding Tamaki’s refusal to sign off on the modifications.

During the meeting, Tamaki called for convening a session of the Futenma air station burden reduction promotion council, which would bring together Kihara, Tamaki, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi, Ginowan Mayor Masanori Matsugawa and others.

The meeting was last held five years ago.

But Kihara said working-level officials will discuss the issue at a working group under the council.

“We renewed our determination to produce solid results toward reducing Okinawa’s base burden and drastically reinforcing defense capabilities in the southwestern region,” Kihara told reporters after the meeting.

Kihara’s visit was his first to Okinawa’s main island since taking office in September, which is exceptionally overdue for a newly appointed defense minister.

He visited Miyakojima and Ishigakijima, two islands in Okinawa Prefecture, in September to inspect GSDF units deployed at camps that opened in 2019 and March 2023, respectively.

Kihara met with Tamaki, who has consistently called for easing the U.S. bases burden borne by his prefecture, for the first time at the Defense Ministry in Tokyo in January.

RQ stream notes

So today Rusty Quill streamed! Woo! Alex J. Newall did a creative jam to create an audio drama in... 2 hours? I think? Anyway! I took notes!

The end result was an elevator pitch, synopsis for 6 episodes, and a somewhat fully-produced pilot episode.

It features three main characters (two protagonists and an antagonist) and two entire dogs, in a Noir Western setting.

Enjoy the notes! (Warning: they are long.)

Alex' ground rules -No swearing/anything that'll get him kicked off Twitch -Only original stories -No TMP spoilers or he gets bapped -6-part series with 10min of fully produced audio drama

-Genre - usually do a genre blend (between two different genres) (ex.: romoantic-horror) to allow for more elaborate concepts Genre choice: Noir | Western -Did some brainstorming for keywords in Aesthetics -Quickly going through Wikipedia to research the genres and find points to fill the project guide. Determine how long we have VS what kinds of stories we have time to do -Get a couple characters (3 to be exact) -Elevator pitch -Character bio detail brainstorming -Quick summary of each episode, per season -Cannibalism gave title idea: Eat the Rich (lmao actual cannibal Shia LaBoeuf) -Text between brackets is to the creators' benefit rather than in the actual episode -Pilot needs a Final Complication/hook/cliffhanger in order to get the listener's attention -Alex abuses of speech-to-text (it fights back sometimes) -Writes pilot script -Writes tagline mid-pilot scripting -Once script is over, highlighted parts that are being voice-acted -Started actually voice acting the scene -Silent sound markers (snap fingers - wait a few seconds - snap fingers again. I think this is for denoising purposes) -Occasionally makes voiceacting notes/redoes lines -Moving screams in separate layers. A lot of things he's doing can be done automatically but he's doing it in Audacity manually so we see what's going on. He'll also be taking shortcuts and such that he shouldn't -Silence marker - effect - noise reduction (after getting sound profile for the silence) -(reduce memory load by doing Stereo To Mono while working; do NOT do this for a real podcast ahaha) -Normalize audio -Audacity is a destructive audio program which makes things Difficult (I think Reaper isn't which is neat) -Use fades to hide a cut -One track per scene? -Use scene cuts where a lot is left unsaid -Once dialogue is cut, finds SFX (he has soundbanks - soundbanks good) -Oh No Soundscaping (TM) -And then Music (ft. Upbeat Sax- I mean what?) -Exporting stuff is very frustrating (ft. Alex flappy hands, but angy) -Does artwork during exporting (ft. Alex goat noises) (graphic design is his passion) (he's using Paint) -EQ work! -Exporting -Alex is very good at doing the post-episode monologue

Spring break

You probably noticed right away that this is not our pickleball crew getting in a little cross training.

Beginning around March 1, Hilton Head has taken on a definite spring-break vibe. Football games on the beach, roving bands of ebullient youths, a conspicuous reduction of clothing on the beach ... 

In February, the island pretty much shuts down when the streetlights come on. In March, if you sleep with your windows open, you may hear party noises late into the night.

USAF F-35s arrive at Kadena Air Base to maintain the advanced presence of fighters in Japan

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/31/2023 - 19:35 in Military

The F-35A Lightning IIs of the 355th Fighter Squadron, Eielson Air Base, Alaska, arrived at Kadena Air Base on March 28 to ensure the continued presence of the fighters through the gradual return of the F-15C/D Eagles fleet from Japan to the United States.

While deployed in the Pacific scenario, the F-35s will work together with other hunting units at Kadena Air Base to ensure continuous steady-state hunting capabilities in the region.

Together, the diverse set of fighters, alongside combined and allied forces, strengthens operational readiness to defend Japan, ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific through a robust presence of dynamic fighters.

“This is the first deployment of the squadron since it reached full operational capacity in February 2023,” said Lieutenant Colonel Michael Mickus, commander of the 355o FS. "Operating from Kadena provides Falcon operations and maintenance with an important opportunity to improve our skills and processes to execute efficiently and effectively in a sustained deployment environment as we work alongside the joint force and our allies."

During deployment, Mickus said that the F-35 squad plans to rotate personnel and equipment to various operational locations in order to support the Commander of the Air Component of the Joint Theater Force and the 18th Wing, maintaining readiness for cutting-edge combat.

This reception of newer and more advanced aircraft in Kadena AB ensures that the 18th Wing remains positioned to provide lethal and reliable air power to ensure the defense of the U.S. allies and a free and open Indo-Pacific.

"Training in the Indo-Pacific region is a valuable opportunity for the deployed units," said Colonel Henry Schantz, commander of the 18th Operations Group. "The units bring their own distinct skill sets and experiences from around the world to hone their skills to deal with paced threats while reinforcing alliances."

In the coming weeks, fighters and associated aviators currently deployed in Kadena will begin to return to their home stations as new units arrive to replace them.

Throughout these deployments, the 18th Wing will continue to comply with the applicable bilateral agreements with the Government of Japan regarding noise reduction. All visiting crews are informed about local noise reduction procedures and mission planners will continue to give due consideration to limit local impacts.

While the 18th Wing continues the phased return of Kadena's F-15C/Ds fleet, the Department of Defense will maintain a stable presence of fighters in the region, temporarily deploying newer and more advanced aircraft to fill the aircraft as they recede.

The modernization of capabilities in the Indo-Pacific theater remains a priority. The transition to more capable aircraft in Kadena exemplifies the Department of Defense's continued commitment to improving posture while building the solid foundation of the alliance with Japan.

Not only that but they just... don't work anymore already? You might as well just make a badly compressed jpeg instead for all they do compared to the quality difference

(Courtesy of sini4ka111 on twitter)

that's literally all it does, not only that but it's only effective on old machine learning scraping from, like, 2018. (Courtesy of /u/b3sn0w on Reddit)

modern "AI" doesn't use the old methods for getting art, they "know" what they're looking at now, they don't need to be trained like they used to, now it's all about inference. Not only that, but there is a feature in almost every image editor/creation tool; Noise Reduction (was going to get a screenshot, but Krita doesn't let me screenshot)

Ppl: “Glaze and nightshade all your art!!”

Also ppl: * does not mention that you need to have a fucking NVIDIA GPU and running nightshade on one image takes at best 20 minutes*

Like the online version of glaze/nightshade requires an account. And last time i checked they arent accepting new accounts because of the high pressure.

Like i make my art on my ipad. My MacBook is from 2014. If i tried to download and run nightshade on my decade old macbook and go throufg 10+ years of artworks i might as well just set it on fire.

Today's Focus

09.11.23 - God I wish America would turn this stupid day into a national holiday so at least I could take time off for it. That being said, at least it's sunny and relatively warm out without being like desperately hot. I am going to miss summer as the fall rolls in tho.

Work - I have a couple of efiles from Friday to save; PACER was not wanting to load for shit again at the end of last week so I decided today was early enough to save those. I have to make up a physical case file for a bunch of papers on my desk, and I should move Stephanie's final files to her new cabinet. Oh right, and there's mandatory training to do by the end of the month.

Background Noise - No DeFranco from Sunday, but I have like half a dozen of Charlie's videos to watch, a Dark Asia with Megan, and then a drama update and a couple of lists. After that I think I'm switching off of YouTube and going to Spotify to do some of my podcasts, starting with Mobituatries by Mo Rocca.

Studying - I have two (2) press releases from Friday to read; both contain embedded media. I'm going back to my Panama Papers deep dive with 3 articles to read: a methodological study I'm plowing through, a 5 piece series on the crimes of one of the exposed parties, and a Guardian article. I've got the Anderson v. Redman case on prison overcrowding to finish reading; after that one comes the recent 303 Creative SCOTUS case, the one about not creating a website for a gay wedding or something. I'm still going through the Inflation Reduction Act; I'm finishing up an environmental protection complaint against an automaker, and then going into federal education funding complaints.

I know it reads like a lot, but I do a page or a section of one thing at a time and just...cycle through the list. When I get to the bottom, I go back to the top and when I finish something I pull it off (and sometimes replace it with another related thing)

Extras - Today they include: responding to things on Facebook, working on the archive of this blog (it needs some tagging updating mostly), writing the draft of an essay, typing up and posting the final of a second essay, and working on a Kamen Rider Den-O fanfiction. I only have to scoop the cats and vacuum today; since the Bills kick off their season with Monday Night Football tonight I'm doing homemade air fry wings which should be easy-peasy.

The Role of Dog Walking in Reducing Pet Anxiety

Anxiety in dogs is a common issue, affecting their behavior, health, and overall well-being. It can manifest in various forms, including separation anxiety, fear of loud noises, or general unease in new situations. While training, proper care, and veterinary guidance are essential in managing anxiety, dog walking plays a significant role in alleviating stress and promoting emotional balance. Regular walks offer mental stimulation, physical exercise, and opportunities for positive social interactions, all of which contribute to reducing anxiety in pets.

1. The Impact of Exercise on Anxiety

Just like humans, dogs benefit from physical activity as a way to release pent-up energy and stress. Regular walks provide an outlet for this energy, preventing destructive behaviors such as chewing, barking, or digging, which are often signs of anxiety. Exercise triggers the release of endorphins, natural mood boosters that help calm the nervous system.

High-energy breeds, in particular, are more prone to anxiety when they don’t receive enough exercise. Walking provides a structured way to burn off excess energy, leaving them more relaxed and content at home.

2. Mental Stimulation During Walks

Walking isn’t just a physical activity—it’s a mental workout for dogs. Exploring new environments, sniffing unfamiliar scents, and encountering different stimuli engage their minds, keeping them occupied and reducing boredom. Mental stimulation is crucial for preventing anxiety, as it diverts a dog’s focus from triggers that might otherwise cause stress.

Dogs have an incredible sense of smell, and sniffing during walks is a natural way for them to process their environment. Allowing your dog time to explore and investigate scents can be highly therapeutic, offering a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

3. Building Confidence Through Exposure

For dogs with anxiety triggered by unfamiliar situations or environments, regular walks provide gradual exposure that helps them build confidence. This process, known as desensitization, involves introducing dogs to new experiences in a controlled and positive way.

Walking through busy streets, encountering other animals, or hearing new sounds during walks can help dogs become more accustomed to these stimuli. Over time, they learn that these experiences are not threatening, reducing their overall stress levels.

4. Socialization and Anxiety Reduction

Anxiety in dogs is often linked to fear of other animals or humans. Walking allows for safe, controlled interactions with other dogs and people, helping pets develop social skills and reducing fear-based reactions.

Professional dog walkers, in particular, are skilled at managing these interactions, ensuring that dogs feel safe and comfortable. Group walks or visits to dog parks can further enhance socialization, teaching dogs how to behave appropriately and confidently in social settings.

5. Strengthening the Owner-Dog Bond

Walking with your dog is an excellent opportunity to strengthen your relationship. The time spent together fosters trust and understanding, providing a sense of security that helps alleviate anxiety.

Dogs look to their owners for guidance, especially in unfamiliar situations. A calm, confident owner can help an anxious dog feel reassured during walks. Incorporating positive reinforcement, such as treats or praise, reinforces good behavior and creates a positive association with the activity.

6. Routine and Predictability

Dogs thrive on routine, and regular walks provide a structured schedule that offers predictability and comfort. Knowing when to expect their next walk helps reduce anxiety caused by uncertainty or boredom.

For dogs with separation anxiety, a walk before you leave the house can be particularly beneficial. Exercise tires them out, making them more likely to rest and less likely to engage in destructive behaviors while you’re away.

7. Calming Effects of Nature

Walking in green spaces or natural settings has been shown to reduce stress levels in both humans and dogs. The calming effects of nature, combined with the physical activity of walking, create a therapeutic experience for anxious pets.

If possible, choose quiet, serene walking routes to minimize exposure to overwhelming stimuli. Gradually introducing busier environments can help build confidence without causing unnecessary stress.

8. Managing Anxiety with Professional Help

For pet owners with demanding schedules or dogs requiring specialized care, professional dog walkers can be invaluable. These experts understand how to handle anxious dogs, providing consistent exercise and exposure in a safe, controlled manner.

Professional walkers are also trained to recognize signs of stress and adapt their approach to suit the dog’s needs. Whether it’s avoiding crowded areas or incorporating play into the walk, they tailor their services to help anxious pets feel more at ease.

9. Complementary Approaches

While dog walking is a powerful tool for reducing anxiety, it works best in conjunction with other strategies. Behavioral training, calming aids, and creating a safe, comfortable environment at home are all important components of anxiety management.

If your dog’s anxiety is severe, consult a veterinarian or professional trainer for guidance. They can recommend techniques or treatments, such as desensitization exercises or natural supplements, to complement the benefits of regular walks.

Conclusion

Dog walking is a simple yet effective way to reduce anxiety in pets, offering physical exercise, mental stimulation, and social opportunities that promote emotional balance. Whether you’re walking your dog yourself or enlisting the help of a professional, regular activity can make a profound difference in your pet’s well-being. With patience, consistency, and care, you can help your dog navigate their world with greater confidence and calmness, strengthening your bond and improving their quality of life.
