๐พ The Reality Of Owning A Dog Who Struggles Around Other Dogs ๐พ
People often see the barking, lunging or pulling.
What they don't see is everything that happens before it.
They don't see you checking out of the window before every walk.
They don't see you crossing roads, turning around, hiding behind cars or ducking into driveways.
They don't see you scanning the horizon constantly looking for other dogs.
They don't see the stress you feel when you spot another dog before your dog does.
They don't see the frustration of feeling like every walk has become a military operation.
They definitely don't see the guilt of wondering if you're doing enough or comparing your dog to other dogs, wishing walks could be easier.
They certainly don't see the emotional toll it can take on you as thier guardian, because when your dog struggles, you struggle too.
The truth is, most dogs who react to other dogs aren't trying to be difficult.
Many are worried, overwhelmed, frustrated, overexcited or simply don't yet have the skills to cope in those situations.
That's exactly why I created the Calm & Confident Dog Course. Not to create the "perfect dog" or force dogs to tolerate situations they can't cope with. But to help dogs feel safer, calmer and more confident around other dogs, while helping their owners feel more confident too.
Because life with your dog shouldn't feel like a battle every time you leave the house. โค๏ธ
Have you ever crossed the road, changed direction or avoided a place because of another dog?
You're definitely not alone.
If this is you then be sure to join our next set of Calm & Confident Dog Classes. Starting Sunday 5th July.
