🎃 Happy Halloween! We’re having a little fun, but if you have a reactive dog, you get it. IYKYK

Which spooky situation scares you the most?

10/31/2026

🎃 We’re re-sharing this popular Halloween post. Today can be a lot for your dog: doorbells, costumes, kids, candy… all the excitement can be overstimulating.

👉 Help us keep all the dogs safe today. Share and repost!

👀 Set your dog up for success and check in on them.

❓Are they showing signs of stress?

❓Are the door knocks, doorbell sounds, and stream of strangers too much?

❓Is your dog afraid of the costumes?

❓Could the candy stash be too tempting?

❓Can your dog handle being out for trick-or-treating, or should they stay home?

You probably want to have your dog with you for all the festivities. After all, they’re family.

But the kindest thing for your dog is to consider what they can handle and make adjustments for their safety and comfort.

If they need to sit this one out, it’s ok.

Stay safe, have fun, and don’t forget to keep the candy out of reach. 😉

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Moving too fast or avoiding triggers altogether are two common mistakes reactive dog owners make with anxious dogs.

❌ To help their dogs get over their fears, people jump right into exposure training before preparing their dog.

❌ Or they try to protect their dogs from reactions by avoiding triggers. Their dogs never get a chance to build confidence.

👉 Both are understandable. And both make it hard for your dog to develop coping skills.

Your dog needs a mix of management and strategic exposure to develop coping skills.

✅ When you use them the right way for your dog, they’ll show improvement in weeks, not months or years.

Many of our students were trying for a long time to help their anxious dogs and got stuck before we could help them.

👉 If your dog’s anxiety isn’t getting better, it’s not because you aren’t working hard. You just need to learn new skills to help them.

Professional help and a few weeks can change your walks. You can stop guessing and start seeing results.

✅ Comment or DM “CHANGE” to learn about a program that will change barking, lunging, and growling into new, calm behavior.

Small dogs aren’t just “yappy.” They can be reactive too.

👉 Some have genetic predispositions for bold behavior. But that doesn’t mean reactivity is inevitable.

🐾 They can learn to interact with triggers calmly. But they often get less support than bigger breeds just because they aren’t as intimidating.

‼️ Just because they can be picked up doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling. Just because they are cute doesn’t mean their fear and stress around triggers isn’t real.

➡️ If you have a reactive small dog, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

✅ There is a proven way to help your dog with reactivity so you can walk without the embarrassing outbursts.

✅ Comment or DM “SMALL” for the exact steps we teach our students to relax instead of react.

❌ These won’t work to fix your walks

-Shortening the leash to force heel
-Yanking to correct your dog
-Shouting to get attention
-Using treats in the wrong way

👉 They’re popular walking moves and it makes sense why you instinctively use them. But they won’t teach your dog how to walk in sync with you. They just create frustration.

✅ Instead, comment or DM “LOOSELEASH” to join our 28 Days to Loose Leash Walking Challenge. You’ll learn how to:

-Keep your dog’s attention even with distractions
-Get your dog to choose to walk with you
-Feel like a confident handler
-Let your dog sniff and be a dog AND listen to you

👉 Join our challenge so you can stop the pulling and walk in a nice flow with your dog.

✅ Ready to Stop the Leash Pulling?

The 28 Days to Loose Leash Challenge is going to teach you how to walk in sync with your dog. You can finally stop:

❌ Shortening the leash to force a heel that doesn’t last
❌ Yanking to correct your dog, but they just keep pulling
❌ Shouting to get their attention only to be ignored
❌ Using treats, but your dog dines and dashes instead of walking with you

Instead we’ll teach you how to:

👉 Keep your dog’s attention even with distractions around
👉 Get your dog to choose to walk with you
👉 Feel like a confident handler
👉 Let your dog sniff and be a dog AND still listen to you

✅ Comment or DM “LOOSELEASH” and we’ll send you the link to join our 28 Days to Loose Leash Walking Challenge so you can both enjoy your walks.

Reactive dog owners who’ve had success with training their dog struggle the most. If your dog has great manners and a training history, reactivity is especially confusing.

- “They should know better.”
- “We’ve done so well before, so why doesn’t my dog listen now?
- “I don’t need help. I can figure this out because I’ve done it before.”

👉 Reactivity is entirely different than your other training. Reactivity is your dog’s response to stress around triggers.

It’s not an obedience issue. What you did before won’t work with this behavior.

‼️ Your dog’s reactions are them struggling to regulate their emotions around their triggers.

Reactivity is a complex behavior, and split-second decisions make the difference between a reaction or calm.

👉 You and your dog aren’t failing. You just need the right training approach.

That’s an easy fix. You need a new plan that focuses on teaching your dog how to settle their emotions when they’re around their triggers.

✅ Comment or DM “NEWPLAN” and we’ll show you exactly how to teach your dog to relax instead of react. You can start making progress again.

Comment or DM “CALM” to learn how to change barking, lunging, and growling into new, calmer behaviors.

‼️ It’s easy to get stuck with reactivity. It’s a challenging and complex behavior.

👉 And there’s a proven way to help your dog stop struggling with reactions and to take the stress out of your walks.

✅ First, you have to minimize the reactivity. Your dog needs to stop practicing reactions to learn a new way of responding to triggers.

✅ Then you add in training that teaches your dog to develop resilience and coping skills so they don’t get upset and react in the first place.

👉 To do this, you need the right training approach.

✅ Comment or DM “CALM” and we’ll tell you exactly what we teach our students to change stressful walks into calmer ones where you feel confident.

‼️ If your dog isn’t taking treats, they’re already fixated. The part of their brain that can focus on you or treats is offline.

👉 Not taking treats is a telltale sign your dog is about to go over threshold.

👉 There were early warning signs that are easy to overlook if you haven’t been trained to spot them. Their body language tells the whole story.

✅ When your dog isn’t taking a treat around their trigger, that’s your cue to create space quickly before a reaction happens.

👉 That will help to prevent a reaction. But distance won’t teach your dog how to stop barking, lunging, and growling.

✅ If you want the reactions to stop, you need to teach your dog how to make a new association with their trigger so they don’t get upset in the first place.

👉 That’s exactly what we teach our students in our 6-week reactive dog training program. How to turn reactions into new, more relaxed behaviors.

✅ Comment or DM “TREATS” and we’ll show you how to use them in the right way to take the stress of our walks.
