Spicy Dog Mama
Real talk about rescues, puppies and reactivity. 29-year-old dog mama (and toddler-mama) on a journey with my girl, Rey. A 6yr old bully breed with attitude. In 2018 I rescued a dog named Reese who changed everything I thought I knew about dogs and training. In 2019 I brought home my puppy (Rey), and shortly thereafter my now-ex moved in with his hyperactive Golden, Riley. The past five years I have grown so much as a dog mom. I trained these three VERY different dogs and learned so much about dog behaviour, reactivity, and training in general. Navigating drastic life changes, loss of pets, moving, and reactivity. I have a passion for training though I'm NO expert and continuously learning from my mistakes and from others. But I'm out here doing what is best for the dog in front of me, trying different methods to give her the most fulfilling life. I am meeting such incredible people who are helping me on this journey, and brushing off the shame and negativity that comes from others in the dog community. I'm hoping that sharing my experiences (and others') provides some hope and joy to those that listen, and maybe we can all learn some things along the way!

26 Who Do You Surround Yourself With
One of the greatest blessings in my life is the people that have been a part of my journey since bringing Reese into my life in 2018.
We have made so many friends through training, Instagram or friends that have adapted from other areas of our lives. Having people in your life who support you and encourage you changes the game and I would not be where I am at today if it weren't for each and every one of them.
Community is everything and feeling alone with your dog, your situation, reactivity and training can be so hard. Feeling like people are judging you because of your dog or the way you try to work with them is so isolating. That is why we started the FB Page Balancing Reactivity Canadian Dogs so that people had a safe place to share their wins, struggles, vent or ask for advice. I won't lie... it's a little dead there but life is crazy. We use the page to also plan pack walks with those in our area and it has helped develop even more relationships even just online!
If you are missing that supportive person in your life, reach out! I would love to help encourage you and be someone that you can go to to feel less alone.

I am not a dog trainer. I'm an uneducated, untrained and unqualified dog mama over here learnig from my own mistakes, the amazing people around me and the dogs in front of me.
I'm sharing my own experiences and my own opinions.
Always consult (and research) a professional trainer to help you with your dog.
With love,
Cass & Rey
