These HANDSOME GUYS came over as soon as Ryan left for work… Hopefully, he won’t be too jealous. But don’t worry, babe—I’ve got two stunning ladies named Sparkle & Talulah that you can hop into bed with….I will even join you!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you can handle my sassy humor. ❤️🐶💋

02/14/2025

Today I received an email from the owner of a reactive dog who told me:

“I am scared, but I try to be brave and take him on walks …”

Reading the email I could really feel her worry and conflict - I called her and told her that there was NO reason to *be brave* in dog training.

She had heard sayings like these before:

😒 “If you are anxious, your dog will be anxious”
😒 “Dogs are reactive because their owners are not confident enough”
😒 “Your dog will feed off your energy”

This is so dangerous and stupid … because it implies that if the human only was a bit more daring, the dog would do much better (NOT TRUE).

And it leads to humans trying to “be brave”, and putting their reactive dogs into situations that are way too challenging, and escalating and potentially even hurting others in the process.

Let me be very clear:
🙅🏻‍♀️ Your dog will not become less reactive by you not worrying about their responses
And “Being brave” is never required in training!

IF you are worried about any specific part of training, you should LISTEN to that worry. Because there probably is a good reason for it.
Don’t push through and disregard it ... you know your own dog and their behavior best.

Training should be safe and NOT stressful for you and your dog. If any trainer gives you instructions that make you worry about training, walk away 🚩

A good trainer will ALWAYS make you and your dog comfortable 🫶

Feel free to email, call or text me if you want help.

Sincerely,

Margaret

🆘 From Abandoned to Reborn: The Journey of Aggressive & Reactive Dogs 🐕❤️

Every dog has a story. Some start with love, stability, and security—until tragedy strikes. Many reactive and aggressive dogs are not “bad” dogs; they are survivors of circumstances beyond their control.

Imagine being dumped then losing the person who was your whole world—the one who fed you, loved you, and made you feel safe. Did you know dogs feel the loss just as deeply. Confusion, fear, and grief can manifest in ways that make them seem “unmanageable”—growling, lunging, shutting down. And too often, these dogs end up abandoned, misunderstood, and labeled as “dangerous.”

But here’s the truth: aggressive and reactive dogs can heal. With patience, training, and a deep understanding of their trauma, they can learn to trust again. They can find safety in a new routine, a new home, and a new heart willing to love them despite their past.

🏡 If you’ve rescued a reactive dog, know this:
🔹 They’re not broken—they’re grieving.
🔹 Fear can look like aggression, but it’s really a cry for safety.
🔹 Your patience, structure, and love can be their second chance.

🐾 To those who take in dogs with difficult pasts—you are their hero. You see the soul beneath the struggle. You give them what they need most: a reason to believe in love again.

💔 To anyone facing loss and unsure how their dog will cope, please seek support. There ARE options beyond surrender. Rescue groups, trainers, and behaviorists can help.

If you’ve transformed a once-reactive, abandoned dog into a thriving, happy companion, share your story below. You never know who it might inspire to give another misunderstood dog a chance. 💕🐾
