ONLINE EVENT: The Human Side of Reactivity

ABOUT THE EVENT:
Loving a reactive dog can be incredibly rewarding — and it can also be exhausting, frustrating, isolating and sometimes overwhelming. Traci Bisson, owner and founder of the Golden Dog Adventure Co. knows this well.

Join us for the September’s Wellness Support Group, as we create a safe space specifically for the people who love and handle reactive dogs.

This isn’t a training class or a session about fixing your dog. It’s a supportive conversation about what it is really like to share your life with a dog who may struggle with other dogs, people, unfamiliar environments or everyday situations that others take for granted.

Maybe you’ve changed where or when you walk. Maybe you’ve skipped events because you knew your dog wouldn’t be comfortable. Maybe you’ve felt embarrassed by a reaction, discouraged by a setback or frustrated when other people simply didn’t understand. And maybe you’ve also celebrated victories that seemed small to everyone else but felt enormous to you.

This is a place to talk about all of it.

Together, we’ll have an open conversation where reactive dog handlers can:

• Share challenges and frustrations without judgment
• Celebrate progress and those important little wins
• Talk about the emotional impact of managing reactivity
• Share experiences, ideas and strategies that have helped
• Connect with people who understand what life with a reactive dog can really look like
• Remember to support their own well-being while supporting their dog

There is no expectation that you have the answers or that everything is going perfectly. Come as you are, listen if you’d rather listen, share if you’d like to share, and spend time with a community that understands that sometimes the human at the other end of the leash needs support, too.

Please note: While sessions are recorded for internal purposes, they are not shared externally to preserve a safe and supportive environment. We encourage you to attend live to be part of the conversation.
