My brother has 2 Staffordshire bull terriers and the mum used to tremble with nerves when being stroked and loved around 6 years ago. My brother rescued her from a dog fighting environment and human attention resulted in her feeling nervous and triggered. Her son (one of the litter that my brother held onto) is the most annoyingly energetic dog I have ever met, yet also one of the most submissive. There is no doubt in my mind the positive effect that a loving environment has on traumatised souls. Her name is Sky, and she doesn't tremble with fear when she has her belly scratched anymore.
