Have you ever heard of the concept of a threshold ladder when it comes to dog training? 🪜 This concept is extremely beneficial when working with dogs that experience high levels of stress, being nervous and reactivity - the best part, once you learn about it, it isn’t complicated and rather easy to implement into your training 😇

It is likely that you may already be practicing this when training and if not, we hope you learned something from this ✨🐾

Halloween can be a fun time of the year for lots however for our dogs with big feelings, it is a very chaotic, busy and scary time of the year. However we can always try our best to prepare our dogs for a successful spooky season by taking a few extra steps! 🎃

Always remember that your dogs comfort and safety matter more than participation. This isn’t failing as a dog parent but prioritizing your dogs well being, safety and needs above your own ❤️

How will you be preparing for Halloween night? Share things that have worked for you and your dog in previous years below!

I’m meeting so many clients who feel like their anxiety is causing their dog’s reactivity or unease. The truth is - it’s not your fault, and we need to stop blaming ourselves ❤️‍🩹

A more productive approach? Take care of you! If you notice anxiety, guilt, or shame about how you’re showing up with your dog, that’s a sign to prioritize your own well-being first 😌

When we take care of ourselves, we show up as calmer, more present companions—and that’s when both you and your dog can truly grow together 🌱💗

If you need help navigating these feelings, let us help ✨🐾
