In this episode, I want to have a chat with you about how YOU feel. We talk about settling your rescue dog on this podcast a lot. It's what it’s all about. But now that I’ve had my dog Rosa for 8 months, I realise the importance of talking about our emotions as humans.Once your rescue dog has settled in, you're probably going to start seeing some behaviour changes and not all of them are easy to manage without professional help. And some behaviours can be really stressful for us as the humans in the relationship. So in this short episode, we talk about what to do if you're feeling emotionally overwhelmed. If you ever need to chat, feel free to reach out to me via email [email protected] or on Instagram @nihal_and_rosa.

In this episode, I invited behaviourist Angie Cook back to the podcast to talk about reactivity. We chat about why some dogs become reactive or sensitive to other dogs and what to do about it. Angie explains that our dogs often give us signals that they are uncomfortable well before they get anywhere near an approaching dog. We talk about how to read those signals and respond to them to avoid the reaction in the first place. We also chat about some of the behaviours that dogs naturally do that we as dog parents would prefer they don’t like rolling in dirt, barking or eating poop. Angie explains how suppressing a dog’s natural behaviours can in some cases lead to reactivity so we need to find a balance between managing behaviours and trying to stop them altogether. Angie is a certified Dog Behaviourist and a certified Family Dog Mediator with the Dog Door Behaviour Centre in North Carolina.  As always I hope you enjoy this episode. Links we love 🧡Listen to the first interview with Angie - https://www.rescuetails.co/podcast/episode/1e1195c6/why-our-dogs-are-reactive-to-other-dogs-and-what-we-can-do-to-support-them Read Kim Brophey's book, Meet Your Dog - https://www.meetyourdogbook.com/ Connect with Angie on https://www.facebook.com/angie.wilt.1 Follow The Dog Door on instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thedogdoor/ Visit The Dog Door Website  - https://www.dogdoorcanineservices.com/
