Adjusting my expectations for the dog and puppy that I thought I was going to have, versus what I ended up with.
You dreamed of raising your puppy or adopting a dog into your life that could go on adventures with you and love absolutely everyone and everything, but turns our your dog is not as social as you thought they would be; they don't enjoy all dogs or maybe none at all.
It's difficult coming to the realization that you may never have the dog you thought you would, and that the way your dog is, is absolutely okay.
Reactive dogs are not uncommon, dogs that are dog-selective is normal.
I, myself, do not do well in all social situations, it's not necessarily the situation that I want to be in. Why do I put higher expectations on my dog?

I am not a dog trainer. I'm an uneducated, untrained and unqualified dog mama over here learnig from my own mistakes, the amazing people around me and the dogs in front of me.
I'm sharing my own experiences and my own opinions.
Always consult (and research) a professional trainer to help you with your dog.
With love,
