Do you long to have a happy, confident dog you can take anywhere? Are you worried your reactive, fearful dog may hurt someone or something else? Do you have to “prepare” yourself to take your dog for a walk around the block? Hey there! I’m Tracy, a retired vet tech turned dog trainer, mom, wife and all-around dog lover. When I realized the key to building confidence in my dog was in understanding him and NOT just tossing treats and obedience my life changed! Now I have a pack of “just good dogs”...

I have a new dog who is reactive and this podcast has changed my way of looking at my dog. In addition to the information Tracy has a fun and entertaining way of doing her podcast

I’m so fortunate to have found Tracy a month before we brought home a beautiful rescue dog from Houston. I have been binge listening to episodes, practically nonstop, and our sweet cautious pup has had the most successful integration into our family. In just two weeks, she is deeply bonded to us and trust me to keep her safe and care for her. She is responsive and brilliant and I am so grateful to Tracy for giving me the framework to set us all up for so much connection and mutual trust. Also, I am autistic and so is my son and I am geeking out about how much overlap there is in supporting fearful dogs, and supporting divergent people in an affirming and nervous system informed way. ❤️🤣🌟

Our pack lived through traumatic times together. We chose to heal as a pack. First my husband and I, then my four dogs. The final piece to the puzzle didn’t click until I began listening to you. I’ve always known they were always calmer first thing in the morning. Turns out, it’s me thats calmer. One of ours is a Pitt and the day I found that out and knew he cared about the relationship with me more than playing fetch. He instaneously became the one who walks along beside me. The rest are corgis. All bluster and hair and emotional barometers alike. Because three are male siblings, I’ve allowed them to maintain the structure they seem to want. As long as we all feel safe. Because of you, I sit and listen with them. I see what they are looking at, approach their barks with curiosity and let them know how very much I appreciate them looking out for us. Thank you Tracy. The toothy disagreements are traumatic and everyone of us bears the physical and emotional scars. For now, we all remain a bit fearful. Because of this podcast, a majority of our days are spent simply loving one another.

Thank you!

I got my puppy to stop barking at everything outside in 3 days with no training and I’ve been listening to this podcast for only a week! Fan for life
