"Best review ever"

THIS persons review was the reason I wrote this book!

Review: I could not put this down once I started reading - it was like reading about my own dog and her reactive issues.

I am now using the tips from the book and she is slowly learning to calm and not be so reactive. We have a lot of work to do but this was the most concise and eye-opening book that I have read on the subject of reactive dogs. I no longer feel hopeless with my dog.

I was shocked to learn that what I thought was helping her - going to the dog park and being around other dogs - was causing her more stress. Though now I do see it was not a good thing. She was barking, lunging, running away, etc. She WAS telling me it wasn't good for her - I just wasn't listening.

After reading the book I understand now. I am more in tune with her body language and reactions and we have a closer bond. This quick read has made me a better dog owner. Very happy I purchased this book.

Not every dog is “easy.”
Not every dog fits in at the park, the groomer, or even on a quiet walk.
But every dog deserves love — especially the misunderstood ones.

When I first brought Mick home, I had no idea what I was in for.
He barked at strangers and lunged at other dogs.
But beneath that reactivity was a dog longing to trust…
And this is the story of how we found that trust — together.

The question is...
Do females really have this much power and authority? Or, do we give it to them?
The answer is a resounding YES! 🤣

The untrainer (husband) strikes again!

Photo 1
Husband texts me photo of Spice jumping on a forbidden chair. Notice the questioning expression on her face. "I know I am not supposed to but moms not here and Papa is not telling me no". Instead of telling Spice no Papa goes to get his camera, text caption under photo "she bad"! 😗
Photo 2
"I think I may get away with this"! Notice uncertain look on her face. Papa takes another picture to send to mom. Caption "she really bad" 😉
Photo 3
"Yep, I've gotten away with it"! Notice satisfied look on her face.

When husband was asked why he didn't tell Spice "no" his response was "she's so cute" 😜
