The Way Dogs Humble Us Dog Mom Mentality

This week we are talking to Tiffany from @loons.and.roogs! The crew behind the account Loons.and.Roogs is made up of Luna, a 5-year-old Aussie mix, Ruger, a 5-month-old Bernese/Pyrenees mix, and Tiffany. Luna was Tiffany's first dog, who she got back in college. And like so many college kids, she knew nothing about how to properly raise and care for a dog. Because of this, Luna developed severe fear-based reactivity towards dogs, kids, and some adults. Tiffany didn't understand what reactivity was, so this went unaddressed for years, and as you can imagine, got worse and worse. Thanks to the Dog Instagram community, Tiffany learned about reactivity and balanced training and embarked on the year and a half long journey working through Luna's fears. So much so, that Tiffany and her partner Austin recently added a second dog to their family, Ruger. Ruger and Luna were best friends at first sight. His goofy and calm demeanor has helped Luna accept him, and finally give her a companion that Tiffany always wanted to give her. They live in Colorado and spend as much time as they can in the mountains exploring.
