213 | Why Does Your Dog React Differently Around Certain Dogs/People?

from Beyond Obedience | Dog Training, Dog Behaviour Training, Scared Dogs, Reactive Dogs · host Tracy Franken- Dog Trainer, Vet Tech, Dog Lover, 🐾

Hey Dog Lover 🐾Have you ever noticed that your dog behaves differently around certain people?Do you sometimes wonder why your dog seems calmer around some dogs and more reactive around others?Have you ever considered that your presence might be influencing your dog's behaviour more than you realize?In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most important lessons I've ever learned about dog behaviour.And surprisingly, it didn't come from dog training.It came from my Newfoundlands.Over the years, I watched fearful, reactive, anxious, and overwhelmed dogs interact with my Newfs. What fascinated me wasn't what my dogs did.It was what they didn't do.No corrections.No drama.No interventions.And yet, time and time again, the other dogs would settle.When they did, something remarkable happened.Their true nature appeared.In this episode, we explore:🐾 Why calm reveals truth🐾 How emotional energy affects behaviour🐾 How you are part of your dog's environment🐾 The hidden cost of emotional static🐾 How grounded leadership creates clarity🐾 Why understanding your dog starts with understanding yourselfWe'll also talk about:relationshiptrustawarenesscommunicationemotional reliabilityand why sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply become quiet enough to listen.Because when we stop adding to the noise, our dogs often tell us exactly who they are and what they need.Hope you enjoy this one!
