120 | Vet Visits Hit Different: Your Dog's Worst Day


Listen Later

Hey Dog Lover đŸŸ
Does your dog panic the moment you pull into the vet clinic parking lot?
Do you start sweating before the car's even in park?

Vet visits with a fearful or reactive dog can feel like emotional combat.
You’re doing your best—but somehow it still ends in trembling, barking, and that deep, gnawing feeling: “Why is this so hard?”

Here’s the truth no one tells you:
You’re not failing.
Your dog’s not broken.
You’re just both navigating a world that doesn’t understand how safety is built.

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

  • Why vet visits overload your dog’s nervous system

  • How trauma sticks—and shows up in places you least expect

  • What calm leadership actually looks like in the chaos

  • A practical survival guide for tough vet days

  • A story of one very shaky car ride (and the lessons it taught me)

If you’ve ever wished the vet visit could just be less dramatic, this episode is your go-to plan for calm, clarity, and connection—even in the hard stuff.


Hope You Enjoy!

Tracy

Next Steps đŸŸ

If your dog spirals at the vet—and you spiral right along with them—you don’t need more treats. You need a better way to lead.

Inside the Fearless Framework, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build trust before the crisis hits

  • Handle high-stress moments without shutting down

  • Walk into the clinic like you’ve got a plan (because you do)

  • Be the calm in the chaos—even when your dog is losing it

This isn’t about “fixing” your dog.
It’s about becoming someone they can follow through the hardest stuff.

Come and be a part of an incredible community of dog lovers like you! I can't wait to start this journey with you.
