Hey Dog Lover! 🐾

Do you feel like you’re just going through the motions with your reactive dog?

Has your world quietly gotten smaller… even though you swore it never would?

Are you surviving with your dog instead of intentionally leading?

In this episode, I’m sharing an honest conversation about survival mode, shrinking leadership, and the difference between going through the motions and intentional movement so you can reconnect with your dog without trying harder or doing more.

Sometimes leadership doesn’t slip away because we explode.

Sometimes it slips away because we quietly withdraw.

If you’ve been feeling heavy, tired, or stuck — not because you don’t care, but because the world feels loud and overwhelming — this episode will help you shift from survival to intentional presence with your dog.

This also marks the beginning of the Calm Down, Dog! Reset happening inside the Bootcamp community — where we focus on doing less, noticing more, and rebuilding steady leadership from the inside out.

Enjoy!

Tracy xoxo

Hey Dog Lover 🐾

Are you trying everything with your reactive or fearful dog… but nothing seems to stick?

Do you find yourself talking more, soothing more, managing more — and still feeling stuck?

Have you ever stopped to ask… what if leadership isn’t about doing more, but about becoming clearer?

We’re breaking down:

• Why “it’s okay” isn’t always helpful

• The difference between clarity and noise

• What dogs actually respond to (hint: it’s not volume)

• How your nervous system affects your dog

• Why your presence matters more than you think

If you’ve ever had that moment of realization — “I didn’t realize how much influence I have” — this episode will shift the way you see yourself in your dog’s world.

Hope you enjoy! xoxox

• help you determine whether you’re helping or unintentionally hindering your dog’s progress.

You’ll see — in real time — how calm, confident presence changes behaviour. (🤯)

This isn’t about fixing your dog in three days.
It’s about gaining clarity on what truly needs to shift.

Hey Dog Lover 🐾

Are you doing everything “right” with your reactive or fearful dog… but still not seeing progress?

Have you ever wondered if the thing holding your dog back might not actually be your dog?

Does it feel uncomfortable to admit that maybe your influence matters more than you thought?

In this episode, I’m sharing the leadership shift most reactive dog owners miss so you can stop trying harder and start leading clearer.

We talk about:

• The uncomfortable realization that influence isn’t blame

• Why awareness doesn’t automatically equal leadership

• The difference between empathy and direction

• Why tools (yes, even treats) don’t create trust

• How shifting from shame to curiosity changes everything

If you’ve ever had that quiet thought — “What if I’m part of the pattern?” — this episode will help you reframe that realization as empowerment, not failure.

Because if you’re part of the equation…

You’re also part of the solution.

Hope you enjoy this one!
