About this episode
Tracy shares strategies for handling reactive dogs during stressful situations to build trust and confidence.
Hey Dog Lover! 🐾 Are your walks starting to feel more stressful than enjoyable? Do you ever find yourself constantly scanning the environment… just trying to avoid a reaction? When your dog “loses it,” are you left wondering… what am I actually supposed to do right now? In this episode, I’m sharing what to do when your dog loses it—so you can stop feeling overwhelmed in those moments and start showing up with clarity and confidence. We’re diving into why those big reactions aren’t the time to “train,” what it really means when you’ve missed it, and how having a simple exit strategy can completely change the way you handle these situations. Because this isn’t about fixing your dog in the moment… It’s about learning how to guide them through it—and becoming someone your dog can trust when it matters most. Hope you enjoy!
