My Soul Dog
I Am Reacting
On this episode, I am reacting to how a certain person was helping a rescue pup overcome her reactivity. I TRY to stay in my own lane, but I just couldn't any longer seeing this poor pup get harmed in the attempt to "cure" the reactivity. No worries, this is not a bashing episode. I will explain the why and what I would do instead as a teacher to help my fearful pup. I want my pup to feel safe and comforted. I want to use up to date research in my approach. Prong collars have GOT TO GO! Take a listen!
