Is your dog’s reactivity keeping you from enjoying walks? In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I worked with Noelle, a highly reactive Australian Shepherd mix, and the game-changing approach that made all the difference using the e-collar.

I’ll walk you through:

✅ The most common mistake owners make when correcting reactivity
✅ How I determine the right e-collar level for each dog
✅ Why addressing the big reactive moment first is key
✅ The connection between anxiety, crate time, and the place command
✅ How one owner finally got it - and why her dog’s “calm muscle” is stronger than ever

If you’ve been hesitant about dialing up the e-collar or wondering if you’re doing it right, this episode is for you. Plus, I answer a fantastic listener question about whining vs. barking during reactivity - how do you know what to correct?

Let’s get into it!
