About this listen
What happens when you are walking with your dog and see a dog off lead? Does the presence of the strange dog unnerve you? Do you become tense? Does your dog tense up?
If this is you, read on.
Living with a reactive dog can accidently create a reactive person and a cycle of negative experiences begin. There is an answer though! With understanding comes positive change. It might not have always been this way; perhaps walking once triggered positive emotion. Maybe we were happy until something specific happened; for example, we met someone with an unfriendly dog that attacked ours or made them really scared. We, too, could have felt scared, then that fear grew over the next few walks, until we felt it the moment we saw another dog in the distance. Maybe we, too, began to experience the negative emotion with every walk, it became a habit and we even experience it whilst thinking or remembering. Nowadays, we don’t even have to be out with our dogs to experience the fear and frustration, we can get angry at home, on our own.
When we walk our dogs the two of us become one emotional, physical, and psychological state. If we are relaxed that’s amazing. If we are tense, we become unified with a self-reinforced cycle of tension. We address this self-reinforcing cycle here, in great depth, to take you both from reactive to relaxed, for lasting and effective results. Welcome to your journey of understanding your precious influence, the wonder of your dog and the amazing individual, powerful force you become when the two of you truly connect.

Story
Dogs are one of the most popular companion animals, and many of them go through life confident and happy with the world around them. A significant number do not - the scared dogs, the anxious dogs, the ones that are terrified when approached by another dog, person, or a whole range of possible things. These dogs react to the causes of their fear in a range of ways, all of which combine to make what are called "reactive dogs", the ones that cannot cope and have to find a way to tell us.

Did you know you're always missing out on half of the conversation? Scientists have proven that words only make up seven percent of face-to-face communication. The tone of your voice, the speed and rhythm of your speech, and the pauses you make between words account for 38 percent. Fifty-five percent of face-to-face communication is body language. If you're not paying close attention to body language, you're literally ignoring more than half of all the information that's being exchanged between you and the person you're talking to.

Story
Some people are naturally more sensitive than others are. It does not just mean that their reactions are more emotional, but they can also correctly sense the emotions of others. This power is usually called empathy and can be a powerful weapon for dealing with people and life in general if you know how to control it. But if you don't put a leash on it, you can soon find yourself spiraling into a vicious circle of anxiety and depression.
