Are you Struggling with barking madness when you walk your companion; it is miserable.
You feel stuck in an endless loop. Trading moments of pulling for barking and growling .. or squealing.. while jumping/ running all over during daily walks…. is reactivity ! Your dog is having BIG feelings about the world around them! And no idea what to do or how to process all the feelings, thoughts, input, and impulses .
Dogs can react to so many things - other dogs, people, kids , skateboards, vehicles , novelty, and they find it exciting, scary, frustrating, or intimidating….
It’s emotionally unhealthy for you and them - and decreases the likelihood they will get to walk longer or more often ! Affecting there overall wellbeing- and quality of life !
Here’s a peak at our latest Gnawty Dog KoKo as he works on his reactions when presented with something that triggers his “BIG” feelings.
With our help & training it took this boy a week to get here NOW he can calmly begin to process the environment without having big feelings!
The WORLD is so big and our dogs are so small… how can we help them to adapt and be more like the dog we want and less … LESS .
