Good Info

Found this podcast bc we are getting a puppy - gasp, have two at home. One is a bit crazy. Or at least he was crazy until I realized it was the reactive way he was acting to our crazy home. Who knew. Love how Fern takes a real world approach, very down to earth and helps you understand how your actions oftentimes create the chaos that surrounds your dog. Gave me a better way of thinking about how to interact with my now not so crazy dog. Thx you!!

Trying to be trilingual ,

Great tips!

This podcast is so helpful for me as a first time dog owner with a rescue with anxiety and reactivity. In tandem with 1:1 professional training, this podcast has provided so many tips and best practices that I can do with my dog at home. I love that the positive reinforcement work! I just pop in headphones and listen while I’m walking with my pup, Piglet. Thank you for this content!
