If I hear one more person tell a reactive dog owner that their anxiety is “travelling down the lead” and causing their dog’s reactivity, I’m going to scream 🫠

Let’s be real, reactivity isn’t that simple.

Dogs don’t become reactive because you are worried they’d bark. Genetics, learning history, frustration, fear, pain, arousal and the environment can all play a role. And yes, I’m not saying dogs can’t pick up on things like your body language and the tightening on the lead when you see a dog.... but blaming owners with a one line explanation just adds guilt and pressure to an already challenging journey.

You can absolutely make huge progress with your reactive dog, even if walking them causes you anxiety 💛

Here’s what I have my clients focus on instead ↓

✨ Learning to read their dog’s body language and understand the WHY behind the reactions
✨ Setting them and their dog up for success by building the right behaviours away from triggers first

If you’re ready to ditch the outdated comments and start training in a way that actually makes sense, drop me a DM and let’s see if we’d be a good fit x

Your reactive dog doesn’t need

endless treats
or someone trying to dominate them

They need skills and guidance.
And someone who understands what’s actually going on.

That’s the difference between “managing” behaviour… and genuinely changing it.

Hear me out…

Avoiding everything is not the answer to all of your problems

BUT you just can’t beat a quiet woodland walk where you know you’re not gonna bump into a single soul

No scanning
No “what’s coming round the corner”

Just space and time for you and your dog to move together

It’s not a solution but sometimes it’s exactly what you both need

If you’re constantly training your dog around triggers, here’s your sign to decompress and go for a nice quiet walk with f*ck all training

If you’re a girlie with a daxie that turned out to be a feral demon… you’re not alone 🫠

Turns out “small” doesn’t mean easier 🤷🏻‍♀️

They’re clever, chaotic and fully convinced they run the household (because… they probably do)

If you’re struggling with your daxie, you’re in the right place. I help owners who’ve got a dog that barks at anything and everything and would abandon you mid-walk the second a squirrel appears 😂

Follow for relatable daxie content + tips for a less chaotic life with them 💘

Ps I WISH this was mud 😭
This was actually manure 😅

Most people get dachshunds because they are cute…

And they are
But they are also a lil ball of chaos and destruction which is the best part🤣

If you’re not properly walking and fulfilling your dachshund, you’re missing out on so much dog…
And so much fun!!!

Getting Sully off lead is where his life completely changed

Sully was never meant to stay restricted to a 10m long line for the rest of his life and honestly, I think he agrees 🤷🏻‍♀️ ^^

What do you think? Comment below ☺️

*pls don’t ditch the long line until recall is solid (which I can help with😏)
