114 | Fireworks Freakouts: Helping Your Fearful or Reactive Dog Stay Calm
Description
Hey there Dog Lover! š¾
Itās fireworks season!
And while we humans love the festivities... our dogs? Not so much.
If your fearful dog hides under the bed or your reactive dog goes into full panic mode at every boom, this episode is for you.
In todayās chat, weāre diving into why loud noises like fireworks trigger fear-based behavioursāand how you can start building a more confident, resilient dog without relying on obedience commands, endless treats, or outdated training methods.
Weāll talk about:
Whatās really happening in your dogās nervous system during stressful events
Why relationship-based training works when traditional obedience doesnāt
How to build trust and relevance so your dog sees you as someone worth following
The difference between managing fear vs. leading your dog through it
If youāre ready to step into calm, connected leadership, Iām here to show you itās possibleāwithout dominance, distractions, or ājust let them bark it outā nonsense.
⨠Letās replace confusion with clarityāand fear with confidence.
