How did it start?
Long story short my late dog Rocky had severe reactivity towards dogs. Going back all those years ago I did not know what I do now. I found it really hard to cope day to day and the effects of living with a reactive dog was taking it's toll on me personally. I felt so alone and upset, embarrassed, ashamed etc. I would have given anything for there to have been a safe space or community where I could go to know I was not the only one suffering, where I could rant if I had a disastrous walk, with people who understood, but most importantly wouldn't judge.
As I developed my career path in training and behaviour I decided at the end of 2021 to specialise in reactive dogs ownly. As much as I want to help the dogs, I am very much aware that the owner needs support too.
And so their you have it, the Canine Reactive - Support Hub was born.
