Patience Isn’t Passive: Why Slowing Down Gets Faster Results in Your Dog Training
Are you stuck in an endless cycle of training frustration? Rushing progress, pushing too hard, and still not seeing results? In this episode of The Walk & Talk, I’m breaking down why patience isn’t passive—it’s actually the secret to training success.

🐾 What actually happens when we push too fast (spoiler: it’s not good)
🐾 Why slowing down speeds up results—science-backed insights you need to hear
🐾 Actionable steps to meet your dog where they are and build strong, lasting progress
If you feel like you’re wading through treacle with your dog’s training, this episode is for you. Let's shift your mindset, embrace patience, and finally start seeing the transformation you’ve been working toward.

Why is Reactivity Becoming More Common in Dogs?
Reactivity in dogs is on the rise—but why? And more importantly, what can you do about it?
In this episode of The Walk & Talk, I’m breaking down what reactivity actually is, why more and more dogs are struggling with it, and how you can take real, effective steps to help your dog feel calmer and more in control. Whether your dog reacts out of fear, frustration, or over-arousal, I’ll guide you through mindset shifts, management strategies, and powerful training techniques you can start using today.
🔹 Why modern life makes reactivity more common
🔹 The key differences between reactivity and aggression
🔹 Simple training exercises to grow your dog’s ability to disengage
🔹 How to introduce triggers safely without overwhelming your dog
🔹 Why punishment makes reactivity worse (and what to do instead)
Reactivity can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone—and it IS something you can change. If you’re ready to follow a structured plan that takes you step by step through the reactivity training process, check out my Reactivity Rehab Pack at ListenDogTraining.com. It’s affordable, easy to follow, and designed to help you and your dog succeed.
