Welcome to Reactive Dog Training: the podcast for reactive dog owners who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and tired of feeling alone.
Hosted by professional rehabilitation specialist Claire Lawrence, this podcast explores the emotional reality behind living with reactive, sensitive, fearful, frustrated, or behaviourally complex dogs.
These are honest conversations about:
This is not a podcast about creating perfect dogs.
It’s about understanding behaviour more deeply, building emotional safety, creating realistic progress, and helping owners feel seen, supported, and understood along the way.
Through real stories, practical education, behavioural insight, and compassionate conversations, Claire breaks down the truth about reactive dogs in a way that is calm, honest, and easy to understand, and all without shame, gimmicks, or unrealistic promises.
Because, sometimes the dog isn’t the problem.
Sometimes the advice is.
And, often progress starts the moment we stop trying to force dogs into impossible expectations and start understanding the dog in front of us instead.
If you’ve ever cried because of your dog’s behaviour…you’re in the right place.
