Ep 18: Support for Reactive Dog Clients with Rachel Laurie Harris

Join Marissa Martino of Paws & Reward interview Rachel Laurie Harris of A Good Feeling Dog Training about reactivity. Marissa and Rachel talk about the many, necessary skills both the pet parent and dog need in order to be successful in navigating this behavior concern.
