So often we’re told:
💬 “Just distract him!”
💬 “Use a firmer tone!”
💬 “Correct it immediately!”

But barking, lunging, hiding, freezing… they’re all just the tip of the iceberg.
This week, we’re going deeper.
Because when you understand what’s really going on, everything changes.

I don't know about you, but I saw far too many people out with their dogs yesterday!! For me it's a no no if it's over 21C!

“What if you didn’t have to figure this out alone?”

You’ve read the books. Tried the tips.
You thought you had it figured—and then your dog loses it again.
You feel awful. You’ve tried everything… but nothing seems to stick.
That’s because reactivity isn’t a one-problem, one-solution kind of thing.
It needs structure, support—and a kind approach that looks at all the layers: emotions, environment, health, and you.
That’s what we do.

I’ll never forget the first time it didn’t happen.
The first time Dash didn’t react.

He used to react to everything—barking, lunging, or freezing in place, completely overwhelmed. He was that dog.

We were walking in a quiet field when a dog appeared, about 10 metres away. My stomach dropped. I braced for it.

But Dash… stopped. Looked. You could almost see the wheels turning—should I react? Should I panic?
And then… he looked at me.

Those big, brown, trusting eyes.
They said: “I trust you. You’ve got this.”

That one look meant everything. It was a choice—a moment of trust and calm.
I took action to keep him feeling safe, and we carried on. No drama. No meltdown.

That’s what we help our students build. Step by step.
Want to feel that shift too? We can show you how.

Let’s build a Calm Library!

💬 What’s one thing that helps your dog settle or feel safe?
(We’re talking snuffle mats, chewing, routines, cuddles, quiet zones…)

Some dogs aren’t “badly behaved.”
They’re just overwhelmed.
And when the world feels chaotic, dogs do what they must to cope.

Structure isn’t about control.
It’s about creating a life that makes sense to your dog.
A rhythm. Predictability. Safety.

That’s how we help them thrive.

Let’s play: What’s the weirdest thing that sets your dog off?

We’ve heard:

A man in a top hat

A paper bag blowing in the wind

A squeaky flip-flop

Someone eating crisps too loudly 😅
