We delve into the complexities of treating dog aggression with our guest guardian, Kate, and her dog, Walter. Together, they've navigated through various trainers and training programs, witnessing progress but lacking a sustainable outcome.
"In the world of dog training, progress is not just about managing behaviors; it's about creating a sustainable, positive transformation that lasts. It's the difference between short-term fixes and the long game of understanding and connection."
Focused on the big picture, Kate seeks long-term solutions beyond mere management. As Kate shares her journey, from initial adoption to encountering setbacks after a vacation, the challenges of addressing Walter's newfound aggression become apparent.
Traumatized by previous training experiences, Kate is now at a point of managing Walter's behavior but aims for more. The heart of the matter lies in building Walter's confidence and positive interactions, especially with new people.
Join us as we explore Kate's energetic pulse, her expectations, and the direction she envisions for Walter's training in the next four months. It's a journey of understanding, guidance, and the pursuit of creating a harmonious bond between Kate, Walter, and the world around them.

When your dog starts demonstrating reactivity to triggers, a trainer says, “Just walk him around the park. Expose him to the triggers. And he’ll get over it.”
So you’ve been doing this ‘exposure to the triggers’ method for some time, only to realize it’s still not working.
This episode breaks down why not.
"Exposing your dog to triggers without a strategic approach is like expecting a[n artwork] masterpiece without understanding the brush strokes."
In this episode, we delve into the common misconception around exposing your dog to triggers and why it might not be as effective as you think. Jenna explores the pitfalls of the "exposure-only" approach, revealing insights gained from audience interactions.
Many dog owners attempt exposure without the desired results, leading to frustration. The discussion navigates through the extremes of avoidance and overexposure, emphasizing the importance of a balanced middle ground. This episode provides a critical analysis of desensitization techniques, shedding light on the vulnerability to errors and the need for a more refined approach.
Join us as we explore the challenges of playing the role of a spectator versus an active participant in your dog's journey, uncovering the intricacies of desensitization that go beyond mere observation. Tune in for valuable tips on restructuring your exposure methods for a happier, healthier relationship with your dog.

Did you know that dogs waking up to triggers in the middle of the night can impact their sleep quality? In a recent discussion by Team Tilly, it was revealed that dogs exhibiting this behavior, especially reactive ones, may experience disrupted sleep patterns up to 3, 4, 6, or even 7 times a night.
In this insightful discussion from Team Tilly and the Recover Rover guardians, the spotlight is on a crucial question about being a protector for your reactive aggressive dog, particularly when they wake up to triggers in the middle of the night. The conversation delves into the nuances of what it truly means to be a defender for your dog.
"When your dog barks at triggers in the middle of the night, it's not just a game – it might be a sign that their brain is on guard, attributing meaning to sounds even in sleep. The real question is, why does the brain feel the need to stay alert, and how can we address the root issue?"
Jenna explores deeper-level questions, challenging the knee-jerk reactions of immediate training or management solutions. A recurring scenario is examined: a dog waking up frequently, barking at unseen triggers, and Jenna raises thought-provoking inquiries about the dog's quality of sleep and the underlying reasons for this behavior.
Drawing parallels to childhood fears and the brain's innate response, the discussion navigates the complexities of deciding whether to play the role of Defender or let the dog independently navigate its reactions. This podcast encourages listeners to move beyond simplistic solutions and engage in a profound exploration of understanding their dog's behavior and needs, emphasizing the importance of considering individual contexts rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach.

Ever seem like your dog is scared or anxious about a trigger, but still going up to them and sniffing? In other words, does it seem like your dog is anxious or worried about an event, but still demonstrating brave signals?
This episode talks about dogs who experience anxiety attacks while simultaneously demonstrating behaviors associated with bravery. The discussion originated from a coaching call where Team Lola and Mater's interactions sparked curiosity about the complex interplay between anxious and brave behaviors in dogs.
"You must train your eye to look objectively, to get rid of outside bias. We must reject blanket statements on social media. Saying a lip lick means this is one thing. Saying a lip lick is correlated to stress. So, you need to keep an eye out for it, and you need to track where in your dog's stress repertoire does the lip lick occurs."
We explore the paradoxical nature of a dog's response to adversity, considering both the biological fight, flight, or freeze responses and the historical selection of certain breeds for traits that defy self-preservation. This episode challenges conventional labels attached to behaviors, emphasizing the need to objectively observe and interpret a dog's actions without predetermined notions of good or bad, stress or bravery.
Join us in unraveling the nuanced dynamics of anxiety, bravery, and the importance of objectively assessing canine behavior in this thought-provoking conversation.

Is your dog barking at the window when neighbors, dogs, and triggers go by?
Kaylee from Team Marnie shares her experiences and challenges in managing her one-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix, Marnie, who exhibits window barking behavior.
"The dog will tell us what it needs if we allow it to acknowledge and process feelings. Decoding these needs becomes crucial… for understanding the dog's [window barking]."
We talk about the distinction between ACTUAL dog training techniques - not just trigger avoidance recommendations - and the limitations of using interrupters as a long-term dog barking solution.
Jenna emphasizes how to fully decode Marnie's triggering event and suggests a more effective dog training approach to counter-conditioning and desensitization.
As always, the discussion goes beyond typical dog training methods, and pinpoints reconditioning the dog's central nervous system and addressing the emotional associations before prioritizing behavioral responses.
This episode provides strategies for dog owners facing dog window barking and how they can train their dog to not be so reactive to triggers outside.
So, if you're navigating the challenges of window barking, we encourage you to explore the full depth of counter-conditioning and dog behavior change strategies.

How can I manage my dog's reactive behavior?
Today, we have a listener, Lorena, who reached out with a question about her dog, Scooby. A curious and social pup, Scooby still faced reactivity during his puppy training days. In fact, he ultimately got kicked out of Puppy School for his overwhelming desire to play with other dogs.
"In dog training, tackling every issue at once is like deciding to play every position in a basketball game. Start with one, master it, then move on."
As Scooby has grown, he's become more reactive towards other dogs, leaving Lorena puzzled about whether it's aggression or something else. She describes his behavior, including a deeper growl and assertive gestures with some dogs, while being more curious and tentative with others.
Lorena shares Scooby's unpredictable reactions and her attempts to hide behind cars or bushes to avoid explosive behavior from Scooby.
Jenna breaks down all the overwhelming triggers (and pieces of the reactive dog puzzle) so that Lorena can create an action plan.
Listen in as Lorena and Jenna discuss Scooby’s goals so that Lorena can create a training plan.
Join us in this insightful episode as we navigate the world of canine reactivity and learn valuable tips for effective dog training.

Is there a real difference between prey drive activation and reactivity, and how do emotions play a role in this distinction? Distinguishing between prey drive activation and reactivity in dogs, especially around small animals triggering their instincts is the question for today that comes from Christine with Team Gigi.
"Behavior is always tied back to the essential needs of any animal—finding and hunting for food and ensuring safety. Understanding this link is crucial in distinguishing between prey drive activation and reactivity in dogs."
If we pretend for a moment that dogs are emotionless robots, the exhibited behaviors, such as lunging, pulling, or hiding, are closely tied to predatory instincts—whether the dog sees itself as the hunter or the hunted. However, of course dogs are not emotionless robots.
This episode examines the primary difference between prey drive and reactivity lies in the emotions motivating the behavior.
Next, Jenna discusses the ‘dog training’ lens: how do you actually train a dog to not go after small prey (or small breed dogs that look like prey)?
Using personal experiences with Max, a Dalmatian with a strong prey drive, we’ll discuss the importance of understanding a dog's DNA, breed characteristics, and individual reactions in evaluating the prognosis of your dog’s behavior modification.

"In this episode, Jenna coaches dog guardian, Jo, through how to navigate her dog's hyperarousal towards other dogs and his resource guarding. We'll meet Tanner, a three-year-old small breed dog, who has big reactions towards other dogs when he feels threatened."
Jo talks about Tanner's playful, intelligent, and communicative nature, yet his journey is marked by anxiety-driven behaviors. Tanner exhibits resource-guarding towards unexpected treasures like a picnic blanket.
“The problem is not that he doesn't like certain dogs. The problem is that he has a compulsive reaction when he sees a certain size of a dog. And it's really important that you identify those differences because that's going to change how you set up a learning environment. Your objective in that case shouldn't be, ‘Let's get Tanner to love every single thing that he comes into contact with.’"
Jo candidly shares Tanner’s challenges faced in dog parks and play sessions, emphasizing Tanner's unique reactions to dogs based on their size and certain physical characteristics.
If you're a fellow dog guardian facing similar challenges, or if you'd like to be part of a live coaching session, don’t hesitate to reach out via Instagram DM, or email! Don't miss this episode as we embark on a journey to unravel the layers of canine behavior and enhance the bond between dogs and their guardians.

Let’s dive into the story of Tara and Sully, a one-year-old dog who, after a traumatic attack at 13 weeks old, now exhibits fear and anxiety during walks. Sully freezes up, whines, pulls, and refuses food, making walks a challenging experience for both Sully and his mom.
Our live coaching session with Tara troubleshoots the issues Sully faces and establishes an actionable training plan. If you have a dog reluctant to go outside or exhibits inconsistent behavior during walks, this episode is a must-listen.
"It's really taxing to have to move at that snail's pace, and just as in human nature, we're kind of compelled to want to skip steps and move forward, and we have no choice but to keep that kind of self-control and bring ourselves back, and move at a snail's pace, and that requires a lot of effort from you.”
The conversation delves into the importance of developing a framework or process to guide experiments effectively. Tara expresses the struggle of hitting a wall in identifying possible experiments and seeks guidance on how to better educate themselves.
Jenna emphasizes the need to methodically expose oneself to challenges, drawing parallels between human experiences and the process of exposing dogs to specific situations. The discussion touches on the taxing nature of the dog recovery journey, the rewards that come with patience, and the importance of acknowledging incremental progress.
Join us for a deep dive into Sully's world, exploring Tara's efforts, challenges, and the coaching process to help Sully overcome his anxiety and fear of walks. If you've faced similar struggles with your furry friend, you'll find valuable insights in this episode. Don't miss it!

How can we move beyond obedience commands and foster a more organic, enjoyable relationship with our dogs?
"I look at dog training like a very objective experience. It's just information. When I'm working with a dog, it's just information. I'm just learning from them. I'm just seeing what they see. I'm just experiencing what they experience."
Drawing parallels between dog training and experimentation, Jenna emphasizes the importance of treating dog training as an objective learning experience. Using examples from dog separation anxiety and dog reactivity, Jenna highlights the need for running experiments to understand a dog's behavior better.
The episode emphasizes the significance of data collection in dog training. From tracking minor stress signals to experimenting with variables like medication, training time, and triggers, Jenna guides listeners on building a comprehensive log to analyze trends and overcome training plateaus.
Lastly, Jenna advocates for breaks in training schedules, underlining their role in preventing plateaus and promoting mental well-being for both the owner and the dog.

Is loving your dog actually enough to recover your dog’s mental health, particularly anxiety?
"In the journey to help your dog overcome anxiety, motivation is like a roller coaster. What brings you back to action is not just love but discipline and commitment to the end game."
Jenna explores this vital question prompted by a conversation with Tara from Zen Dog Fearless Grooming.

However, as we discover, when facing a dog's anxiety disorder, rearranging your life and expressing affection are merely initial steps.

Motivation can be a roller coaster, and Jenna emphasizes the need for steadfast dedication to the end game. Drawing parallels to personal fitness journeys, we discuss how a holistic approach, beyond just passion, is crucial for long-term success.
This episode challenges the conventional narrative, urging listeners to consider a more comprehensive strategy for nurturing their canine companions. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of whether love alone is enough to treat your dog's mental health.

Unlock the secrets of canine behavior with us today as we tackle the prevalent issue of resource guarding among our dogs. Resource guarding, a behavior normal to all animals, not just dogs, can strain the human-canine relationship if not trained methodically.
"We need to think about what our dog tells us they need. What is the thing that our dog has taken that the dog is saying, 'Hey, this is what I want,' and be like, 'Okay, what is a comparable and perhaps even more valuable equivalent to that thing that you've taken.'"
Join us as we delve into the subtle signs and triggers of resource guarding, and uncover why resource guarding happens in dogs. Then we’ll unpack how to train resource guarding using positive reinforcement training techniques, emphasizing the importance of fostering trust and creating a positive environment around valuable resources.
Our discussion includes practical tips on gradual desensitization, enabling dog owners to navigate this behavior with patience and empathy.
Tune in for actionable advice and the key to fostering a bond that stands the test of dog-guarding behavior.

Every dog is unique, and that means individualizing their training plans. But that does not mean there isn’t a formula for dog training.
Yes, there is indeed a formula to train dogs. And we’re unpacking that formula for you in today’s episode.
“I don't do basic skills, I don't do puppies, and that's for several reasons. But one main reason is that most of the stuff that is put in those programs, I personally believe, should be FREE.”
In the world of dog training, where countless techniques and methods are touted, it's easy to get lost in the sea of options.
But what if there was a clear path to follow, a formula that could guide us in helping our canine companions? In this thought-provoking episode, Jenna passionately outlines the core elements in addressing dog anxiety: counter conditioning, desensitization, enrichment, and building a trusting relationship.
These elements form a formula, and they are non-negotiable when it comes to training anxious dogs.
However, what sets this approach apart is the recognition that the techniques used within this formula can vary based on the context and the individual dog's needs. It's not about a one-size-fits-all approach; it's about empowering guardians to make informed choices and tailor their training to their unique situations.
