Let me tell you about Lexi, a rescue who had a tough time with reactivity on walks, and I had a rough time dealing with her intensity. With some patience,(which I struggled with) understanding, and this game-changing adviceā"Be what you want your dog to be"āLexi taught me so much!
Hereās what weāre chatting about today:

Some cool research from Psychology Today that links heart rate changes between dogs and their humans.

š” Creating a Chill Home Environment:
Why simple routines and calm interactions make all the difference.
Easy things you can do to help your dog feel safe and curious.
š Seeing Things from Your Dogās Point of View:
Your dogās reactivity isnāt about youāit's about how they see the world.
Why swapping frustration for curiosity can change everything ( "How interesting!" If you know you know š).
