#27: Why Your Dog’s Barking, Lunging, and Freakouts Aren’t the Real Problem

Reactivity doesn’t mean your dog is “bad”—it means they’re overwhelmed. And when a baby enters the picture, things can get even harder.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what reactivity really is (spoiler: it’s not disobedience) and how to address it compassionately and effectively—especially when your dog is adjusting to life with a newborn or toddler.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why reactivity often spikes after baby comes home

  • How to train without obedience cues during meltdowns

  • The power of praising your dog while they’re barking or lunging

  • What to do about barking during naps, guest visits, and stroller walks

  • How to avoid turning your baby into the “bad guy” in your dog’s eyes

This episode is packed with emotional insight, practical strategy, and reminders that you’re not failing—you’re learning two languages at once: baby and dog.
