    Dog’s Transformative Journey to Overcoming Aggression

    We delve into the complexities of treating dog aggression with our guest guardian, Kate, and her dog, Walter. Together, they've navigated through various trainers and training programs, witnessing progress but lacking a sustainable outcome.   "In the world of dog training, progress is not just about managing behaviors; it's about creating a sustainable, positive transformation that lasts. It's the difference between short-term fixes and the long game of understanding and connection."   Focused on the big picture, Kate seeks long-term solutions beyond mere management. As Kate shares her journey, from initial adoption to encountering setbacks after a vacation, the challenges of addressing Walter's newfound aggression become apparent.   Traumatized by previous training experiences, Kate is now at a point of managing Walter's behavior but aims for more. The heart of the matter lies in building Walter's confidence and positive interactions, especially with new people.   Join us as we explore Kate's energetic pulse, her expectations, and the direction she envisions for Walter's training in the next four months. It's a journey of understanding, guidance, and the pursuit of creating a harmonious bond between Kate, Walter, and the world around them.   SEP Anx FAQ Guide here ➡️ https://mailchi.mp/2480b41de068/sep-anx-faq-page   Learn how to work with Jenna & Team Dog Liaison here: https://www.getacalmdog.com/   Subscribe to the Dog Liaison Channel on YouTube   Join our mailing list for a weekly blog-style newsletter and Dog Liaison’s latest updates!   And follow us on Instagram @dog_liaison   So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and become a part of our Dog Nerd community.

    Why Just ‘Exposing Your Dog to The Trigger’ Is NOT Working to Desensitize Your Dog’s Reactivity

    When your dog starts demonstrating reactivity to triggers, a trainer says, “Just walk him around the park. Expose him to the triggers. And he’ll get over it.”   So you’ve been doing this ‘exposure to the triggers’ method for some time, only to realize it’s still not working.   This episode breaks down why not.   "Exposing your dog to triggers without a strategic approach is like expecting a[n artwork] masterpiece  without understanding the brush strokes."   In this episode, we delve into the common misconception around exposing your dog to triggers and why it might not be as effective as you think. Jenna explores the pitfalls of the "exposure-only" approach, revealing insights gained from audience interactions.   Many dog owners attempt exposure without the desired results, leading to frustration. The discussion navigates through the extremes of avoidance and overexposure, emphasizing the importance of a balanced middle ground. This episode provides a critical analysis of desensitization techniques, shedding light on the vulnerability to errors and the need for a more refined approach.   Join us as we explore the challenges of playing the role of a spectator versus an active participant in your dog's journey, uncovering the intricacies of desensitization that go beyond mere observation. Tune in for valuable tips on restructuring your exposure methods for a happier, healthier relationship with your dog.   Learn how to work with Jenna & Team Dog Liaison here: https://www.getacalmdog.com/   Subscribe to the Dog Liaison Channel on YouTube   Join our mailing list for a weekly blog-style newsletter and Dog Liaison’s latest updates!   And follow us on Instagram @dog_liaison   So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and become a part of our Dog Nerd community.

    Delving into the Nighttime Behavior of Reactive Dogs

    Did you know that dogs waking up to triggers in the middle of the night can impact their sleep quality? In a recent discussion by Team Tilly, it was revealed that dogs exhibiting this behavior, especially reactive ones, may experience disrupted sleep patterns up to 3, 4, 6, or even 7 times a night.   In this insightful discussion from Team Tilly and the Recover Rover guardians, the spotlight is on a crucial question about being a protector for your reactive aggressive dog, particularly when they wake up to triggers in the middle of the night. The conversation delves into the nuances of what it truly means to be a defender for your dog.   "When your dog barks at triggers in the middle of the night, it's not just a game – it might be a sign that their brain is on guard, attributing meaning to sounds even in sleep. The real question is, why does the brain feel the need to stay alert, and how can we address the root issue?"   Jenna explores deeper-level questions, challenging the knee-jerk reactions of immediate training or management solutions. A recurring scenario is examined: a dog waking up frequently, barking at unseen triggers, and Jenna raises thought-provoking inquiries about the dog's quality of sleep and the underlying reasons for this behavior.   Drawing parallels to childhood fears and the brain's innate response, the discussion navigates the complexities of deciding whether to play the role of Defender or let the dog independently navigate its reactions. This podcast encourages listeners to move beyond simplistic solutions and engage in a profound exploration of understanding their dog's behavior and needs, emphasizing the importance of considering individual contexts rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach.   Learn how to work with Jenna & Team Dog Liaison here: https://www.getacalmdog.com/   Subscribe to the Dog Liaison Channel on YouTube   Join our mailing list for a weekly blog-style newsletter and Dog Liaison’s latest updates!   And follow us on Instagram @dog_liaison   So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and become a part of our Dog Nerd community.

    Can a dog look Brave but actually be Anxious?

    Ever seem like your dog is scared or anxious about a trigger, but still going up to them and sniffing? In other words, does it seem like your dog is anxious or worried about an event, but still demonstrating brave signals?   This episode talks about dogs who experience anxiety attacks while simultaneously demonstrating behaviors associated with bravery. The discussion originated from a coaching call where Team Lola and Mater's interactions sparked curiosity about the complex interplay between anxious and brave behaviors in dogs.   "You must train your eye to look objectively, to get rid of outside bias. We must reject blanket statements on social media. Saying a lip lick means this is one thing. Saying a lip lick is correlated to stress. So, you need to keep an eye out for it, and you need to track where in your dog's stress repertoire does the lip lick occurs."   We explore the paradoxical nature of a dog's response to adversity, considering both the biological fight, flight, or freeze responses and the historical selection of certain breeds for traits that defy self-preservation. This episode challenges conventional labels attached to behaviors, emphasizing the need to objectively observe and interpret a dog's actions without predetermined notions of good or bad, stress or bravery.   Join us in unraveling the nuanced dynamics of anxiety, bravery, and the importance of objectively assessing canine behavior in this thought-provoking conversation.   Learn how to work with Jenna & Team Dog Liaison here: https://www.getacalmdog.com/   Subscribe to the Dog Liaison Channel on YouTube   Join our mailing list for a weekly blog-style newsletter and Dog Liaison’s latest updates!   And follow us on Instagram @dog_liaison   So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and become a part of our Dog Nerd community.

    Dog Barking at Windows when Neighbors Walk By - What to Do

    Is your dog barking at the window when neighbors, dogs, and triggers go by?   Kaylee from Team Marnie shares her experiences and challenges in managing her one-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix, Marnie, who exhibits window barking behavior.   "The dog will tell us what it needs if we allow it to acknowledge and process feelings. Decoding these needs becomes crucial… for understanding the dog's [window barking]."   We talk about the distinction between ACTUAL dog training techniques - not just trigger avoidance recommendations - and the limitations of using interrupters as a long-term dog barking solution.   Jenna emphasizes how to fully decode Marnie's triggering event and suggests a more effective dog training approach to counter-conditioning and desensitization.   As always, the discussion goes beyond typical dog training methods, and pinpoints reconditioning the dog's central nervous system and addressing the emotional associations before prioritizing behavioral responses.   This episode provides strategies for dog owners facing dog window barking and how they can train their dog to not be so reactive to triggers outside. So, if you're navigating the challenges of window barking, we encourage you to explore the full depth of counter-conditioning and dog behavior change strategies.

    Reactive Dogs with SO MANY Triggers - It’s Overwhelming

    How can I manage my dog's reactive behavior?   Today, we have a listener, Lorena, who reached out with a question about her dog, Scooby. A curious and social pup, Scooby still faced reactivity during his puppy training days. In fact, he ultimately got kicked out of Puppy School for his overwhelming desire to play with other dogs.   "In dog training, tackling every issue at once is like deciding to play every position in a basketball game. Start with one, master it, then move on."   As Scooby has grown, he's become more reactive towards other dogs, leaving Lorena puzzled about whether it's aggression or something else. She describes his behavior, including a deeper growl and assertive gestures with some dogs, while being more curious and tentative with others.   Lorena shares Scooby's unpredictable reactions and her attempts to hide behind cars or bushes to avoid explosive behavior from Scooby.   Jenna breaks down all the overwhelming triggers (and pieces of the reactive dog puzzle) so that Lorena can create an action plan.   Listen in as Lorena and Jenna discuss Scooby’s goals so that Lorena can create a training plan.   Join us in this insightful episode as we navigate the world of canine reactivity and learn valuable tips for effective dog training.   Learn how to work with Jenna & Team Dog Liaison here: https://www.getacalmdog.com/   Subscribe to the Dog Liaison Channel on YouTube   Join our mailing list for a weekly blog-style newsletter and Dog Liaison’s latest updates!   And follow us on Instagram @dog_liaison   So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and become a part of our Dog Nerd community.
