Ep 30: Discover Your Dog’s Reactivity Persona (Part 2 of 2) & The Nightmare Jun 26, 2024

Show notes

It’s here! Part Two of our Dog-Dog Reactivity special double feature! This week, we’re introducing you to the final two characters that could be causing your dog reactivity. We think Character #3 isn’t talked about nearly enough as it can be the root cause of so many different behaviour struggles – reactivity to dogs and people, noise sensitivity, even separation anxiety. Character #4 shows up even before you go out on your walk! Even if your dog isn’t dog-dog reactive, these characters might play a role in YOUR struggle. Can you guess who they are? Tune in to find out (and hear about one of Dr Tom Mitchell's worse nightmares)!
