Why Is My Dog So Reactive? Part III: Car Reactivity, Nighttime Barking, and More Listener Questions
Update: 2025-10-10
Description
If your dog barks in the car, growls at visitors, or goes wild on walks, you’re not alone. In this listener Q&A, I address five real-world questions about reactivity, ranging from car meltdowns and nighttime barking to leash explosions and unexpected bites.
You’ll learn how to recognize the emotions beneath the behavior, create safety through small daily shifts, and turn stressful moments into chances for trust and calm.
Because when we stop reacting to our dogs and start listening with them, everything begins to change.
