In this episode, I urge you to have a shift in your mindset and thinking. Instead of thinking of the struggles and the challenges of owning a reactive dog, try to see the positive in those situations. Buster has taught me a lot in life, and I really believe that I wouldn't have learned these valuable life lessons - at least to such an extent - if I would have had an easy, friendly dog. Looking at the positive side of owning a reactive dog can be a challenge, but when we choose to shift our thinking, it opens us up and can truly make you a more positive person, which in turn, will improve your relationship with your dog.
Here are the 5 life lessons that owning a reactive dog has taught me:
