The Nervous and Anxious Dog Episode


Listen Later

Some takeaways you'll get from this episode:


  • Using the E-Collar can be helpful in addressing anxiety and reactivity in dogs.
  • Providing clear guidance and clarity to dogs can boost their confidence.
  • The E-Collar Starter Guide provides step-by-step instructions and videos for using the E-Collar in different situations.
  • Correcting unwanted behaviors with the E-Collar can help dogs understand what is expected of them.
  • Misconceptions about the E-Collar should be challenged, as it can be a valuable tool when used correctly. Using food as a positive association can be helpful for some nervous dogs, but it may not work for all dogs.
  • Giving dogs a clear job and holding them accountable for behaviors can help build confidence.
  • Movement is important for both a dog's confidence and the owner's confidence.
  • The e-collar can be a valuable tool for addressing nervous behaviors, but it should be introduced gradually and with guidance.
  • Exposure work, combined with a clear job, can be a game-changer for helping nervous dogs.
  • Resources such as the e-collar starter guide and the guide to separation anxiety can provide additional support and guidance.
