An in-depth conversation with Victoria Stilwell about new ways to think about reactive dogs

The one and only Victoria Stilwell from It’s Me or the Dog and positively.com offers a new way to think about reactive dogs. And what to never think about (using a shock collar, as just one example). She explains how often we not-so-intentionally make matters worse by pulling the dog in opposite direction. Does a shock collar ever work as a last resort? And how can you help reactive dogs? Stilwell explains a new approach. Also, with upcoming Dog Bite Prevention Week, we discuss preventing dog bites and why to Ask the Dog , which is my most recent book is all about. The not so romantic frog croaking story. Why dogs, cats and other animals get the zoomies. https://serve.castfire.com/audio/7973361/7973361_2026-02-12-193501.64kmono.mp3 Recent Posts Steve Dale’s Pet World Free dog cancer tests and the adoption debate .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} <div class="article-list__article-text" data-context="link_group" data-article-lis
