Today’s episode coincides with World Mental Health Day, a day to raise awareness and break the stigma around mental health struggles. If your dog struggles in the world, it’s not surprising that this can impact your own mental health. Feelings of frustration, isolation, guilt, or even embarrassment are common. In this episode, I'll explore how important it is to care for your mental health when managing a reactive or challenging dog.

For dogs that are nervous, sensitive or reactive, scent work can be transformative. And it's easy to start at home. This week's podcast is another recap from Pup Fest 2024. My guest is Jack Fenton, The Dorset Dog Trainer. Every dog and every breed can have fun and benefit from doing some simple scentwork. You can use it to help grow their coping skills with something scary. As well as using scentwork to open up a dog's world. And if you've got an anxious or reactive dog, their world can feel pretty small.
