Mindfulness & Dogs - Calm Starts With You

Walking a reactive dog can feel overwhelming. If your dog barks or lunges on walks, you know how stressful it can feel. But what if the first step toward calmer walks had nothing to do with your dog? In this episode, you’ll learn why calm truly starts with you and how this shift can transform your walks.

In this episode, I will tell you about my own reactive dog, Charlie, who was also very patient when it came to teaching me what it means to let go and open my heart and mind to new ways of seeing him, our relationship, and our walks together.

I will also guide you through a short Baseline Check exercise that will help you set a calm tone for your walk before you even leave the house.

Listen in, enjoy, and breathe.
