In today's episode, you'll get a seat at the table for a reactivity masterclass with yours truly. We'll go over: what factors contribute to leash reactivity, why your dog's reactions aren't random, the systems I teach my clients, and the mindset shifts that will keep you sane when living with a leash-reactive dog. I'm sharing how I view every dog I work with as a mini science experiment, testing and tracking what works best in different scenarios to support them, what to do when you're trigger stacked and sh*t out of luck, and why supporting your dog's nervous system isn't about doing more...it's about doing things differently. Whether you're a trainer or a reactive dog parent, this episode will inspire you to get curious and build a relationship with your dog that fits the life you truly want.
