I had a client with a pug who refused to stop using a tight harness that made it harder for him to breathe. I sat down with them after a session and just showed them a video of their dog panting normally versus struggling with that gear. I explained it like, this isn't about winning a ribbon next week, it's about him still being able to play ball when he's ten. They switched to a wider, padded harness the next day. Sometimes you have to connect the dots between today's choice and the dog's future.

My trash can is getting lonely since I started hoarding every half-dry tube. I think it filed a complaint about the lack of colorful sludge lately, lol. Guess being eco-friendly has its casualties.
