Listen Dog Training: The Walk & Talk18 Huhti 2025

Your Dog Just Got Rushed... Here’s What To Do Next (From a Pro Dog Trainer)

You’re doing everything right—training consistently, building your dog’s confidence, setting them up for success… and then BAM. An off-lead dog barrels into your walk and turns everything upside down. In this episode of The Walk & Talk, I’m sharing exactly what to do after a negative experience like an aggressive dog encounter, so it doesn’t undo all your hard work.

Whether your dog is a reactive teenager, a nervous puppy, or just sensitive to bad vibes (honestly, same) this episode walks you through my exact “regulation recipe” to help your dog bounce back—emotionally and behaviourally—after a stressful incident.

💛 You’ll learn:

What to do immediately after an incident
How to activate your dog’s parasympathetic nervous system (aka calm-the-heck-down mode)
The simple on-lead strategies that promote healing, not fear
Why coddling can backfire—and what to do instead
How to protect your training progress long-term

🎧 Whether you’ve been there before or you just want to be prepared in case, this is a must-listen for every devoted dog owner.

📢 P.S. If you want to take this a step further, grab my Reactivity Training Pack from my website—packed with real-life solutions and stress-free strategies for helping your dog feel safe, seen and supported. It’s available instantly here.
