Are you frustrated or embarrassed by your reactive dog’s behavior?
-
Are you feeling like you’re the only one dealing with a challenging dog?
OR
It's very common for reactive dog owners to feel one or more of the following:
-
I’m afraid to go for walks because my dog is barking and lunging on leash.
-
I’m nervous about my dog growling, snapping, or biting when someone is nearby?
-
I don’t know how to help when my dog gets stressed and starts pacing, panting or drooling.
-
It’s impossible to handle my hyper and overaroused dog when a trigger is near?
I have felt all of these things!
My dog Merle was my heart. But, after he bit several people and dogs, I've never felt so scared, alone, and devastated.
I allowed the wrong trainers to convince me that it was my fault, and that corrections were the only way to stop these behaviors so he could have some quality of life.
Later, while trying to repair our relationship, ethical and kind professionals introduced us to ways to help him build confidence, and feel good about the world, so he could have the life he deserved, and we both could heal.
After spending thousands of hours taking courses, and working with dogs, I have learned what dogs and their people need in order to move forward and thrive.
