Dogs do not experience food and hunger the same way humans do. While owners often believe their dog is constantly hungry or enjoys food the way we enjoy our favorite meals, their relationship with food is entirely different. It is important to understand how dogs feel hunger and what food represents to them, because this changes how we feed them and how we interpret their signals.
How Dogs Actually Experience Hunger
For dogs, hunger has a completely different meaning than for humans. While humans associate hunger with taste, rituals, comfort, and emotions, dogs experience food functionally. Food is simply a source of energy that allows them to be capable, active, and ready for life.
In nature, dogs instinctively apply a natural rhythm similar to what we now call autophagy—a mild fasting period that helps the body regenerate. For wild dogs, hunger is not a tragedy; it is a vital part of their daily recovery cycle.
The „Manipulation“ of Love
Dogs often use food to “manipulate” their owners, but not out of bad intent. They intuitively understand that food is the strongest emotional point in our relationship. Because we express care, love, and connection through feeding, they use food-seeking behavior as a way to engage with us.
Do Dogs Truly Enjoy Food Like Humans Do?
Dogs do not enjoy food emotionally. We eat when we are sad, lonely, or stressed, assigning emotional meaning to every bite. Dogs do not do this. They eat to:
While a dog eats with enthusiasm, it is a response to a natural need, not a search for emotional satisfaction or comfort.
Dogs eat when biologically necessary, without emotional overeating.
When We Think the Dog Is Hungry, but It Isn’t
Owners often misinterpret „begging“ eyes or following them to the kitchen as starvation. In most cases, this is communication, habit, or a request for attention. This is why experienced handlers say: “A happy dog is a slightly hungry dog.” Mild hunger is natural, healthy, and part of their biological rhythm.
What Owners Should Know
Dogs feel hunger differently. For them, food is not an indulgence or an emotional outlet. It is energy, function, and a way to remain stable. By understanding this, we can avoid overfeeding and build a relationship based on true needs rather than misinterpreted emotions.

People often imagine that dogs socialize the same way we do. We think dogs enjoy going to the park, meeting other dogs, or visiting a neighbor. However, dogs do not function through that concept at all. In nature, there is no idea of one animal visiting another simply for socializing. This is why it is important to understand how dogs truly experience contact with other dogs.
Why Dogs Do Not Understand the Concept of Socializing
Dogs do not possess a social model similar to that of humans, so we cannot say that dogs socialize like humans in the way we understand it. There is nothing in their biology that supports the idea of someone coming or going from a space purely for companionship.
This concept feels normal to us, but to dogs, it is unclear and unnecessary. What matters to them is their environment, stability, and the relationship with their owner—not expanding a circle of acquaintances.
The Cost of Continuous Sensory Overload
When we constantly take them to other dogs, to crowded parks filled with unfamiliar animals, or to a neighbor “to socialize,” we are actually exposing them to continuous sensory overload. In those situations, the dog must repeatedly open all its sensory fields, assess safety, and search for emotional security again and again.
Frequent encounters force the dog into repeated cycles of assessment:
-
Whether the other dog is safe.
-
Whether it needs to defend itself or take control.
-
Whether its owner is stable enough to provide protection.
-
Whether safety can be found in another animal.
This is not socializing. This is a continuous activation of physiology that the dog usually does not need. Instead of calmness, the dog remains in a mode of analysis and survival, which exhausts both the body and emotions.
A dog does not seek the company of other dogs — it seeks security beside its human.
What a Dog Truly Wants
A dog does not want a “park friend” or a “social network” like humans have. A dog wants:
-
Stability.
-
Safety.
-
An owner who is an emotional anchor.
When that exists, everything else becomes unnecessary. When we accept that dogs do not socialize like humans, it becomes much clearer what they genuinely need.

Peanut butter is often considered a healthy and convenient food, but the reality is very different. Although it appears nutritious, this product almost always contains something we cannot see with the naked eye: mold and toxins that develop during harvesting, processing, transportation, and storage. This is why many nutritionists and holistic practitioners increasingly warn: do not eat peanut butter unless you have made it yourself from completely safe, home-sourced peanuts.
Why You Should Not Eat Peanut Butter
Peanuts are one of the foods most susceptible to the development of mold. Even with the best quality control, there is no technological process that can completely prevent contamination during harvesting, drying, transportation, storage, or industrial processing.
Mold on peanuts often produces aflatoxins, substances that are among the most dangerous natural toxins. They can affect the liver, immunity, digestive system, and overall energy levels. In other words, even the so-called „best“ peanut butter cannot guarantee that it is truly safe.
What Actually Happens to Peanuts During Storage
Peanuts grow underground and are therefore exposed to a large number of fungi. During transport, bags or containers rarely maintain optimal humidity and temperature, allowing mold to develop very quickly.
This is why experts agree on one thing: Even when they appear clean, dried, or roasted, peanuts almost always contain mold that cannot be seen. For this reason, it is strongly recommended do not eat peanut butter unless you process your own peanuts from a trusted source.
Almond butter contains fiber and has a lower risk of contamination during storage.
A Better Option: Almond Butter
If you enjoy spreads, there is a much safer and healthier alternative: almond butter.
Almonds are significantly more resistant to mold development, easier to store, and less likely to be contaminated during processing. In addition, almond butter is:
-
Rich in fiber.
-
Supportive of gut health.
-
More stable in digestion.
-
Nutritionally cleaner and gentler on the body.
For these reasons, it is an excellent substitute for peanut butter and can be used in exactly the same way.
Conclusion: Prioritize Your Health
No matter how tasty, affordable, or practical it is, peanut butter carries risks that you cannot see or detect. If you want to avoid ingesting mold and toxins, the best decision is simple: Do not eat peanut butter unless you make it yourself from completely safe, home-grown peanuts. For everyone else, almond butter remains the best, healthier, and cleaner alternative.

Most people believe that a dog reacts only to commands, tone of voice, or training. But the truth is much deeper. Both dogs and young children feel far more of who we are than what we do. This is why a dog sometimes does not listen, a child does not respond, and it seems to us that they “do not understand.”
In reality, they understand much more than we would like to admit. How dogs and children react is a direct reflection of our inner state.
What Does a Dog Actually Sense?
A dog does not respond to our words but to the atmosphere we create. If we are nervous, insecure, angry, or afraid, the dog will feel it long before we acknowledge it to ourselves.
The issue is not the leash, the collar, the command, or the technique. The issue is the energy we bring into the relationship. Just as we do not need to walk a dog with a choke chain or an electronic collar, we also do not need to “break him with discipline.” A dog reacts to the entire environment shaped by us—to the way we move, speak, breathe, and approach.
Why Is It the Same with Young Children?
It is similar with children. They rarely react to what we tell them; they react to what they feel coming from us. If we are confused, tense, angry at ourselves, or afraid of life, they interpret it as their own insecurity.
They do not respond to our story but to our inner reality. And here lies the essence of the problem. We are often afraid to be who we truly are, so we wear masks. We perform calmness, confidence, and authority. But the dog and the child see right through it.
Children feel what we live, not what we say.
How One Sentence Can Change a Child’s Entire Life
A dog did not come to be your pet; he came to change your life. This applies to children as well. They do not learn from what we say; they learn from what we live. Understanding how dogs and children react to our lived truth can shift the entire family dynamic.
How to Change Their Response
There is only one way to change the behavior of a dog or a child: We must first change ourselves.
-
Slow down: Speed creates tension.
-
Release tension: Physical stiffness signals danger.
-
Become present: They feel when we are mentally elsewhere.
-
Stop hiding emotions: They sense the dissonance between our face and our heart.
-
Stop sending mixed signals: Consistency comes from inner peace.
They react to truth, not performance. When we change, their behavior naturally changes with us.

Spaying and neutering are topics that often spark controversy among dog owners and veterinarians. The question of do dogs develop tumors if not spayed or neutered comes up frequently, but the answer is not simple. It is essential to understand not only the medical aspects but also the hormonal, ecological, and biological factors that shape a dog’s life.
When to Spay or Neuter and Why This Question Exists
Sterilization is often viewed as a preventive measure against unwanted litters and certain diseases, such as tumors of the reproductive organs. However, the decision on when to spay or neuter depends on the physiological and mental maturity of the dog. Premature sterilization can disrupt normal hormonal and physical development.
Veterinary experts generally recommend spaying or neutering only after the dog has reached sexual maturity, usually between 18 and 24 months. Before this period, sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone are not yet fully developed and cannot properly support other bodily and mental functions.
The Risk of Tumors in Intact Dogs
Many dogs who are not spayed or neutered and have never had offspring can develop certain types of tumors. The most common are mammary tumors in females and testicular and prostate tumors in males, as well as uterine infections such as pyometra.
The cause is not only genetic. The deeper issue is that the reproductive organs lose their natural function when the reproductive drive is present but never expressed. This can lead to systemic imbalance and increase the risk of cancer.
How Hormones Influence Tumor Risk
Hormones play a crucial role in maintaining balance within the body. In dogs that are sterilized too early or never have the opportunity to express their reproductive function, hormonal imbalance may occur.
Properly timed sterilization reduces the risk of tumors and supports hormonal health.
Why Dogs Without Offspring May Face More Problems
Dogs who never use their reproductive organs may develop what can be described as an “energetic blockage.” When the body cannot properly utilize the natural function of these organs, it can increase the likelihood of tumors, especially in middle-aged and older dogs. Therefore, while sterilization reduces certain risks, its timing must be based on individual development.
The Mistake of Early Sterilization Policies
In the nineties, policies used for feral cats (Trap-Neuter-Return) were applied to dogs in the US to reduce stray populations. However, studies show that sterilization alone does not resolve overpopulation unless the population is first reduced to an ecological minimum. Nature does not tolerate a vacuum; removing dogs often just creates space for new animals from surrounding areas.
The Energetic Mechanism and Proper Timing
When a dog feels the need to reproduce but never has the opportunity, stress and hormonal imbalance can appear. Unexpressed reproductive energy can contribute to the development of cancer. This is why properly timed sterilization—after 18 to 24 months—is so critical. Sterilizing before full maturity can disrupt the development of bones, muscles, and hormonal balance.
Is It Better for a Female to Have a Litter?
Naturally, reproduction can reduce the risk of certain tumors in females as the organs fulfill their biological purpose. However, the decision to have offspring must be responsible. Every litter creates new lives that require care, time, and space.
The right decision about sterilization should be calm, thoughtful, and based on the dog’s physiological development, not merely on social or political pressure.

At first glance, commercial dog food seems like a perfect solution. It is easy to buy, practical, and described as professionally formulated. But the core of the problem is not practicality. It is responsibility and the role of the owner.
Why It Is Essential That You Personally Prepare Food for Your Dog
If you prepared food yourself, you would need to choose ingredients, think about the balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, observe your dog’s reactions, and adjust the diet according to your dog’s condition. By buying ready-made commercial dog food, you transfer that responsibility to someone else.
Why Commercial Food Is Often Offered as an Easier Solution
If profit were the only goal, the market would already be overflowing with supplements, special formulas, and industrial products promising health. The problem is that commercial dog food is not designed in service of the dog, but in service of the system.
When someone sells you a ready solution, they are actually taking away your opportunity to understand, removing responsibility from your hands, and limiting your ability to learn and adapt on your own. A dog does not respond through packaging; a dog responds through relationship.
Why It Matters That You Remain in Service of Your Dog
When you prepare food yourself, you observe your dog, notice changes in behavior, and respond earlier than any industry ever could. This is not always easy. It is not fast. It is not clean or perfectly measured. But it is honest.
That is why many people do not remain in this process for long. Not because they do not want better, but because they cannot carry the responsibility.
Nutrition is part of the relationship, not just a meal.
Perfection Is Not the Goal. Presence Is.
There is no perfect diet. There is no perfect owner. There is only effort, learning, mistakes, and correction. Perfectionism has long been abandoned; presence has not. Every message, comment, question, or doubt shows that people want to understand, not just buy a solution.
Why Personal Food Preparation Matters More Than Any Recipe
Anyone can copy a recipe, but a relationship cannot be copied. When you prepare food for your dog, you are not feeding only the body. You are participating in your dog’s life. And that is the one place where the commercial dog food industry can never replace you.

Cleaning a Dog’s Ears: Why It Is Not as Simple as It Looks
One of the most common questions owners ask is: “How should I clean my dog’s ears. Can I put shampoo in them and rinse with water?”
At first glance, it sounds logical. You apply shampoo, rinse with water, the dog shakes his head, and it is done. However, the problem occurs much deeper inside the ear canal, exactly where water should never end up. Cleaning a dog’s ears requires a more careful approach than just basic washing.
Why Water in the Ears Can Cause Problems
Dogs have a natural mechanism for cleaning their ears. Anything that stays in the shallow part of the ear canal can usually be expelled by shaking the head.
The problem arises when:
-
water penetrates below the cerumen layer (ear wax),
-
dirt softens and becomes trapped,
-
moisture remains locked inside the ear.
Under these conditions, the ear becomes an ideal environment for inflammation, fungal infections, bacterial growth, and unpleasant odor from the ears.
Shaking the head helps a dog expel excess fluid and keep ears dry.
Is Shampoo Safe for Dog Ears?
Shampoo itself is not the problem. The problem is how it is used. When shampoo comes into contact with dirt, it no longer behaves as shampoo but as foam. Foam has an excellent ability to break down grease, remove impurities, and clean surfaces.
This is why foam can be useful, but only if:
How to Properly Clean a Dog’s Ears
A safe approach to cleaning a dog’s ears includes the following steps:
-
Use products specifically designed for cleaning dog ears.
-
Do not pour water directly deep into the ear.
-
Clean only the outer ear and the visible part of the canal.
-
Rinse gently, without pressure.
-
Allow the dog to shake thoroughly.
Dogs are naturally capable of expelling excess fluid from their ears, but only if the water has not become trapped beneath layers of ear wax.
The Most Common Owner Mistake
The biggest mistake is not cleaning itself, but overcleaning. Ears are not meant to be washed frequently, nor should they be cleaned “thoroughly” like skin.
Too much intervention:
-
disrupts the ear’s natural protective barrier,
-
increases the risk of infections,
-
creates chronic ear problems.
For a healthy dog, minimal and proper hygiene is the best hygiene.

More and more often, I hear from owners who describe their dogs as anxious, reactive, fearful, or overly sensitive — and no one seems to know why. Behind these behaviors often lies a hidden mineral imbalance: too much copper and not enough magnesium. This delicate relationship profoundly affects both the health and behavior of dogs, yet it’s rarely discussed.
The Link Between Copper Toxicity and Magnesium Deficiency
Over the years, I’ve seen how excess copper can deplete magnesium — in both humans and dogs. You can give your dog the best supplements, but if the body is overloaded with copper, magnesium simply won’t stay. That’s why copper detoxification is the first step — but it must be done slowly and safely, never abruptly. Copper toxicity in dogs acts as a silent saboteur of mineral balance.
Estrogen Imbalance and the Role of the Adrenal Glands
In spayed female dogs, the adrenal glands take over a small part of hormone production — estrogen in females, testosterone in males. However, when the body is burdened with copper, hormones can’t function properly. The result is a dog that appears nervous, fearful, or reactive — and owners often misinterpret this as a behavior issue, when in fact it’s biochemical.
Behavioral Changes Caused by Excess Copper
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) shows that hyper-reactive dogs often have elevated copper and low levels of magnesium and zinc. These dogs are not simply ‘difficult’ — they are struggling with a physiological imbalance that affects their nervous system, heart, and energy levels.
There’s no magic pill that fixes this overnight. What we can do is gradually help the dog eliminate excess copper through lifestyle changes and natural nutrition. Only when that balance is restored can the body retain minerals where they’re needed.
The Hidden Epidemic of Copper Overload
Scientists now speak of a silent epidemic — copper toxicity in dogs and magnesium deficiency. Copper is everywhere: in water, food, and even supplements. Deficiency is almost impossible today, but overload is very real and dangerous.
Excess copper pushes magnesium out of the body, directly affecting heart function, the nervous system, and energy. This imbalance is linked to increased cardiovascular problems, fatigue, and hyperreactivity.
The diagram shows how minerals interconnect and impact a dog’s health and behavior.
How to Help Your Dog — A Step-by-Step Approach
-
Never remove copper abruptly: Copper is essential, but too much creates imbalance. It works in partnership with zinc to regulate brain function. The goal is balance, not elimination.
-
Avoid food enriched with copper: Most dry kibble contains added copper, increasing the toxic load.
-
Include natural mineral sources: To neutralize copper toxicity in dogs, use zinc, magnesium, manganese, and vitamin A. These are best from whole foods: red meat, egg yolks, pumpkin seeds, and leafy greens. Note: Avoid liver for reactive dogs as it is very high in copper.
-
Support the liver: Herbs like milk thistle (silymarin), dandelion root, and artichoke root support the liver’s detox process.
Balance Is the Key to Health
Copper isn’t the enemy — it’s vital for life. But when it builds up, it becomes a silent saboteur. Balance between copper, zinc, and magnesium is essential. If your dog seems reactive, anxious, or restless, the issue may not be behavioral — it may be biochemical. With proper nutrition, a calm environment, and patience, the body can restore its natural balance.

by Sasha Riess | 13.02.26. | Emotions
Dogs may live in the present moment, but their reactions often reveal something much deeper: our anxiety, our fears, and the tension we suppress. When a dog looks worried, unsettled, or reacts without an obvious reason, it is often a reflection of negative projections coming from us, not from the dog.
Can Dogs Project Negative Outcomes?
Anxiety in dogs functions like the projection of a negative scenario into the future, even though a dog is not naturally a being that thinks ahead the way humans do. This leads to an essential question: How can a dog have a “negative future” in its mind if it does not think the way we do?
The answer is simple: A dog does not project its own future; a dog projects ours.
Dogs absorb our emotional tone, our tension, our unspoken fear, and every subtle shift in our energy. If the owner is worried, under pressure, internally chaotic, or carrying repressed anxiety, the dog feels it as if its own future is threatened. This is a primary driver of anxiety in dogs.
Why a Dog Carries the Emotion We Suppress
What is especially interesting is this: the more we believe we are calm while actually suppressing anxiety, the more the dog becomes tense.
Why? Because a dog has no filter. What is repressed in a human is active in a dog.
A dog reacts to what we try to hide:
While we rationalize, the dog feels. This is why it can seem as if a dog “thinks negatively,” when in reality, it is simply manifesting our inner world.
Dogs feel every unspoken emotion and tension within the family.
How to Recognize When a Dog Is Carrying Your Anxiety
The most common signs of anxiety in dogs that mirror human stress are:
-
Restlessness without reason
-
Stress twitches, sighing, trembling
-
Avoiding contact or becoming overly attached
-
Aggression that appears “out of nowhere”
-
Hypervigilance, constantly scanning the environment
-
Behaviors that resemble “fear of the future”
This is not the dog’s burden. It is the burden the dog has taken from us.
How to Help the Dog and Yourself
For a dog to be truly stable and free from anxiety in dogs, the owner must:
-
Slow down their pace.
-
Allow themselves to feel instead of suppressing.
-
Lower expectations of the dog.
-
Recognize their own stress.
-
Restore emotional presence.
A dog does not need a perfect owner, only a present one. When a person returns to their authentic emotional state, the dog responds with immediate relief.

Chronic Stress in Dogs Is Not a Momentary Fear
Chronic stress in dogs is not just a momentary fear or short term discomfort. It is a condition that quietly builds through our everyday actions. What surprises owners the most is that stress rarely comes from major events. It most often arises from small, repeated inconsistencies in human behavior around the dog.
When one family member allows something and another forbids the same behavior, the dog enters a state of constant confusion. Over time, this confusion turns into chronic stress in dogs, which can lead to serious physical and emotional disorders.
How Chronic Stress Develops in Dogs
Chronic stress most often develops when a dog cannot predict the consequences of its behavior. If the dog is sometimes punished and sometimes rewarded for the same action, it enters a state of insecurity.
A dog does not understand the difference between “mom allows it” and “dad does not allow it”. The dog only experiences that the same stimulus leads to completely different reactions. For the dog, this becomes an alarm that never turns off.
Inconsistent rules, shouting, unfair punishment, and sudden changes in owner behavior directly activate stress hormones. When this repeats day after day, the dog loses its sense of stability, and the body shifts into a state of constant tension. This is the physiological foundation of chronic stress in dogs.
Confusion as a Trigger for Serious Problems
A dog can appear obedient, calm, and affectionate, while still being deeply confused. Confusion is one of the most dangerous forms of emotional pressure in dogs because dogs do not have the ability to rationalize situations the way humans do.
If a dog is allowed on the bed one day and forbidden the next, if one family member feeds the dog from the table while another punishes it for the same behavior, the dog’s nervous system enters a chaotic survival mode.
This state can lead to:
-
loss of energy and lethargy
-
withdrawal and depressive behavior
-
sudden aggressive outbursts
-
psychosomatic illnesses
-
weakened immunity and digestive problems
For a dog, confusion is not just discomfort. It is a state in which the body remains in constant physiological defense, as if danger is present at all times.
Chronic stress in dogs leads to both emotional and physical health issues.
How Family Disharmony Affects a Dog
Dogs live in the present moment. They do not process the past the way humans do, nor do they imagine the future. Their perception of the world exists entirely in the here and now. Even small inconsistencies within the family create inner chaos for the dog:
-
one owner shouts, another stays calm
-
one allows the dog on the bed, another forbids it
-
one punishes a mistake, another rewards the same mistake with attention
-
children allow behaviors that parents forbid
In such conditions, the dog no longer knows what is right and what is wrong. And when a dog does not know, it prepares itself for the worst-case scenario. This leads to constant activation of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. As a result, the dog may begin to behave unpredictably, becoming withdrawn, tense, fearful, or aggressive. Even sudden reactions in public spaces, such as snapping or rough play, are often rooted in accumulated confusion and chronic stress in dogs.
What Owners Can Do Immediately
To reduce chronic stress in dogs, the family must function as one clear voice. Not as several individuals with different rules, but as a unified structure the dog can understand.
The most important steps are:
-
Agree on clear rules within the family
-
Follow those rules consistently
-
Avoid shouting and confusing punishment
-
Provide routine and predictability
-
Build the relationship through calmness and consistency
A dog does not seek perfect owners. It seeks consistency. Consistency creates safety, stability, and a healthy life without unnecessary stress.
