Has your dog ever shown fear, anxiety or reactivity?  If your dog hasn’t, I’d be willing to bet that you know someone whose dog is dealing with one of these issues. Returning guest Dr. Zazie Todd is a psychologist who digs into the science of dog behavior to help us make the best decisions for our dogs. Her new book, Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful or Reactive Dog is going to help so many dogs & their people.  And I’m so thrilled that she’s here to share her insight with us. Have you ever heard that it’s wrong to comfort your dog when you they’re showing signs of fear?  This is just one of the outdated dog training myths that Zazie helps us myth bust.  So what should we do to help our fearful dogs?  Zazie shares how we can create a safe space for our dogs and how to be their safe person. From gaining the trust of a fearful dog to adjusting our own expectations of our dog’s behavior, Zazie & I dive into the best practices to help our dogs who struggle with the world around them. I also share some challenges & lessons learned from my own dogs’ fears, anxiety and reactivity – the things we’ve gotten right and the areas where we need to keep learning.   Find photos, links & show notes at:https://believeindogpodcast.com/episodes-1/episode105   Get your free checklist: Join Erin the Dog Mom's email list to receive the 12 Changes in Your Dog to Never Ignore checklist.
