Big changes are coming in 2026 — and they’re all rooted in what I’ve learned from working with reactive dogs and their people over the past decade. 💛🐾

This post is about what’s evolving, why it’s evolving, and how I’m continuing to shape Creature Good Dog Training into a space that offers deeper support, clearer guidance, and truly individualized care.

From how programs are structured, to what kind of help reactive dog parents actually need (hint: it’s not quick fixes that mask the behavior temporarily), 2026 is about doing this work more intentionally — and more compassionately — than ever.

If you’re raising an anxious, reactive, or sensitive dog and you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or unsure if you’re “doing it right,” this one’s for you. My hope is that this next chapter feels steady, supportive, and realistic — for dogs and the humans who love them.

✨ Read about what’s new, what’s staying the same, and what I’m most excited to offer in 2026 — https://www.creaturegooddogtraining.com/post/what-s-new-for-reactive-dogs-in-2026.

As always, thank you for being part of this community. Your dogs, your questions, and your honesty continue to shape this work in the best possible way.

🐶 Reactive Dog Tip: What you do in the moment matters more than you think!

If your dog barks & lunges on your walk today, try not to panic, yell, or pull on the leash 😣 (I know it’s easier said than done in the heat of the moment!) Panic responses usually just add more stress for both of you.

👉 Try this instead:

The moment you see another dog, calmly turn and move away. 🚶‍♀️Don't wait to see if your dog will react or not!

Moving away keeps your dog under their stress threshold and gives you both a chance to reset your energy.

Remember, reactivity isn’t about disobedience — it’s an emotional response. 💙
Your calm, proactive moves teach your dog they can trust you to handle the situation.

✨ Little changes like this build confidence, reduce outbursts & strengthen your bond.

💬 If you've tried this before or try it today share your experience in the comments! Your experience can inspire other reactive dog parents to try as well.❤️

🐾 I often talk about setting your dog up for success. That's great…but what about YOU? 💛

Setting YOU up for success means creating a training plan that fits your real life — not some perfect Instagram version of it.

Setting you up for success means acknowledging that not only are you dealing with a reactive dog, you’re juggling work, family, errands, etc.!

My training fits into your current lifestyle so it doesn't feel like just another chore.

✨ Human success looks like:
☕️ Two-minute training sessions while your coffee brews
😴 Management strategies that work when you’re tired
💬 Clear communication everyone in the house can follow
🎉 Celebrating small wins (vs. perfection)
💗 Grace when things don’t go as planned

Between Halloween prep 🎃, school schedules, weather shifts 🌧️, and shorter days, the last thing you need is a training program that eats up hours of your day!

Instead, you need real-life strategies that work on tired Tuesday evenings and chaotic Saturday mornings.

When humans feel supported and capable, dogs thrive. ❤️

Comment “REAL” if you’re looking for training that fits your real life, not an unrealistic fantasy.

When your dog is feeling wound up, stressed, or just a little “too much,” sometimes the best thing you can do is lean into their natural calming behaviors. 🐾💛

This carousel walks you through three simple activities that help your dog settle their nervous system — no fancy tools or long training sessions required.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

✨ Licking — great for self-soothing and perfect for lick mats, frozen treats, or even safe plate-licking after dinner
✨ Sniffing — the ultimate canine stress reliever; slow, sniffy walks or snuffle mats give your dog an instant sense of calm
✨ Chewing — a biologically satisfying way to relax (and bonus: it helps keep teeth cleaner!)

These activities tap into your dog’s natural instincts, helping them decompress after a big outing, a reactive moment, a busy day… or honestly, whenever life feels a little overwhelming.

If you want a calmer, more regulated pup, start here. Small changes make a big difference. 🐶💙

Walking your reactive dog in the dark can feel like a whole different world — mystery shadows, surprise joggers, and all the little hazards you can’t see until you’re right there. 🌙🐾

But with a few simple tweaks, those early-morning or after-dinner walks can feel a whole lot safer and calmer for both of you.

In this carousel, I’m sharing 3 ways to protect your reactive dog when visibility is low, including:

✨ The gear that makes you easier to spot
✨ Why staying on leash matters even more at night
✨ My favorite hands-free lighting trick (yes, headlamps are dorky… and yes, they’re amazing)

These tiny adjustments can reduce startle reactions, help you spot triggers sooner, and give your dog the predictability they need to feel more secure.

If you walk in the dark — whether because of your schedule or because it's quieter for your reactive pup — this one’s for you. 💛

Save this post for tonight’s walk, and tell me in the comments:
Are you Team Headlamp or Team Flashlight? 😉
