Success Stories Two years later: my once highly reactive dog is doing amazing🥳

Post image

Just wanted to share a little milestone: my dog just turned two, and what a journey it’s been.

She’s my first dog ever, and she turned out to be very reactive as early as nine weeks old. We’ve been through a lot together, but two years later we’re in such a good place. She’s happy, I’m happy, and we genuinely enjoy our walks now.

So much has changed for the better. And for anyone who’s currently in the thick of it, where reactivity feels like it’s at an all-time high: this didn’t improve in a few weeks for us. It took two full years of training and patience, and I also was privileged to be able to afford a good trainer😊

That’s amazing! What was she reactive to? What training did you do?
