Episode Summary
In this episode, I share my personal experiences with my dogs Ivy and Poppy, while stripping away the illusion of social media perfection and dive into the nitty-gritty of dog training and pet behaviour change from the unanticipated joy in a perfectly executed cue, to the occasional despair when things don’t go as planned.
I’ll also explore the nuances of setting achievable targets, taking into account each pet’s unique personality and pace, while sharing strategies that can help carve out time for training in our daily routines & often busy lives.

I’ll share experiences, valuable expert tips, and candid conversations that inspire, empathise with and motivate you to lead the best life possible with your pet.
Have you ever wondered what living with a reactive dog is like?
In this episode, I will share my personal experiences with my Greek rescue dog, Poppy, and the ups and downs of life with a sensitive canine companion. I will discuss how I initially felt embarrassed about her reactive behaviour but gradually realised it was a cry for help and not a sign of hostility.
You will gain insights and strategies on managing your reactive pet’s environment, respecting their social boundaries, and recognising the importance of their downtime needs.
