Dartmoor Dogs Pet Services Friendly, flexible Pet Services for Hennock, Teign Valley, Chudleigh, Bovey Tracey and Dartmoor area

We are a small family business, with an aim to provide quality pet services for our customers and ensure the best possible care for the animals we look after. As a pet owner, I am very aware that there are times when, for whatever reason, we could all do with a little help to give our animals what they need, whether that is a visit whilst we are out, a good walk or plenty of company and attention.

And this is where I can help, I can offer a range of services such as daily group dog walks at a variety of locations, pet visits and day care as well as some home boarding. Our prices start from :

1 hour group dog walk from £8

1/2 hour home visit from £8

Day care from £14

But please telephone / email me, Karen or see our website, for more information. Please note that I am a fully insured pet sitter and dog walker.

REDEFINING REACTIVITY

Reactivity is a complex topic that requires an individual approach for each dog and their specific circumstances. But the underlying driver is often the same — it’s an emotional response.

Trying to “fix” it through obedience training, corrections, or punishment-based methods focuses on what a dog does, instead of how a dog feels. It doesn’t address the root of the problem—and often creates new ones.

Reactivity can quickly become self-reinforcing because it works. When the trigger moves away, the dog experiences relief—and that emotional shift strengthens the response. The more it’s repeated, the more it becomes a default or a habitual behaviour.

Changing an emotional response is not a quick fix. Real change takes time, patience, understanding, and consistent practice.

Behaviour is the symptom. Emotion is the cause. Work on changing that emotion and the behaviour will follow.

Understanding that behaviour is driven by emotion, should change how we respond to our dogs. They’re not being difficult—they’re struggling.

Looking at reactivity from this perspective should encourage us to be more empathetic and understand that we need to support them rather than control them.
