Ever had a stranger’s “friendly” off-leash dog charge you and your reactive pup during a walk?
In this empowering and practical episode, Em teams up with Laura from Curious Snoots to unpack the cultural norms around dog walking—and why they often fail reactive, anxious, or sensitive dogs. If you’ve ever felt like your dog walks are survival missions instead of bonding time, you’re not imagining it.
You'll Learn:
How to handle real-life walking stressors like off-leash dogs and sudden encounters
Discover how leash skills and advocacy can help protect your dog’s emotional safety
Shift your perspective on walks from obligation to enrichment and training opportunity
Press play to reclaim your daily walks—and walk with confidence, boundaries, and compassion for both your dog and your community.
