In this episode, we meet Lolly, a spirited poodle with a heart of gold—and a mind that often won’t let her relax. Lolly struggles with generalised anxiety, making even simple daily activities challenging, along with separation anxiety that causes distress whenever she’s left alone. We follow Lolly's journey as her dedicated owner learns to understand her triggers, works with trainers and behaviourists, and tries different techniques to help her feel safe in her world.

From calming routines to innovative tools and therapeutic approaches, this episode explores effective ways to support an anxious dog and the patience and compassion it takes to bring peace to pups like Lolly. Tune in for expert insights, real-life advice, and a candid look at life with an anxious dog—a must-listen for anyone navigating the ups and downs of canine anxiety.

In this episode, we dive into the journey of addressing canine reactivity and resource guarding. Our guest shares their personal experience with a dog who struggles with barking and lunging at other dogs, especially bigger or running ones, as well as noise sensitivity and guarding high-value items like bones or spaces.

Through trial and error, multiple trainers, and eventually finding the right fit, they’ve made significant strides, from seeing their dog disengage from triggers without cues to gaining the confidence to do parallel walks. They also share insights on managing training solo, balancing progress with financial limitations, and the importance of daily practice.

Tune in for relatable struggles, actionable tips, and inspiring progress in the ongoing journey of helping a reactive dog thrive.
