This episode was sparked by a rare moment of peace in my home after a hike with my seven dogs. In it, I dive into the emotional and physiological toll living with reactive dogs can have on our lives and why it's crucial to let your nervous system reset before jumping into another dog. I share why I advised a close friend, who just lost her reactive dog, to take time for herself before bringing another dog into her life. If you've ever lived with reactive dogs, this episode will resonate as I explore the deep need for healing, how the body stores stress, and why calm dogs feel like such a gift.
