Letters From Your Dog

Thank you to the wonderful insight regarding reactivity close to home. Bailey my 4 yr old Dachshund is very reactive to dogs while on leash, especially in my neighborhood or park area that we frequent regularly. He is very friendly when he approaches dogs, it’s when he sees them and realizes the less us restricting him from a meet and greet. I am learning that I need to focus on his body language as well as my own. It is still a work in progress. I watch as many videos as I can on reactivity and I find it challenging to correct a dachshund wearing a harness. I feel now I need to get him to feel comfortable in his own paws, so he doesn’t need to pull in the leash and bark when he sees a dog. He can be as courteous as the other dogs in the area. I perform animal Reiki which relaxes him before and after walks. I am very interested in learning more about why an acts the way they do vs the gesture. Wish I had listened to this pod cast a few weeks ago as I could have gotten in on the Q&A. Look forward to learning more and learning more information through reading, video, or podcasts.

I have enjoyed listening to Dr. Holly Tett so much I have gone to the beginning and I am working my way through her talks. My dogs benefit from her spreading of kindness every day now. I’m truly grateful to have found her.
