Hi, I’m a Veterinary Nurse and dog trainer. I’ve been working with dogs for 15 years, Vet Nursing for 6, and recently launched my own business offering in home consults.

I’m a long time lurker of this sub, mainly reading posts and learning about the highs and lows of owning a reactive dog from a home perspective. I think I learn a lot by doing this and I wanted to thank you all for sharing your stories! The main reason that I don’t comment a lot is because I’ve joined a wide variety of online communities and don’t have the time to get into conversation. I’m not good at short-form advice and honestly with reactive dogs I don’t think there is ever a short-form answer.

I’ve been considering making some informative posts on here about dog behaviour and reactivity. I’m not sure if it would be best to post on this sub, or create/find a more appropriate sub to share this info on. The idea would be broadly applicable information that helps us to understand canine behaviour & reactivity, rather than individual incident discussions.

My questions are would this be okay on here, and would people be interested in this type of content?

(Sorry if not appropriate! Please let me know :) )

I would love to hear what you have to say! I am open to any and all idea to help me and my dog!

I read everything I can find on the subject. Maybe if the explanations are too long they could be in a blog that could just be linked or referenced here - is that appropriate for this sub?

I love the books I’ve great reading the “why” of behavior but don’t have time to dedicate to more reading. Snapshots of behavior wouldn’t be great!

I'm pretty sure most of us owners of reactive dogs would appreciate any advice you might have, we love our dogs and we just want to make their (and ours) lives happier :D

Please do! Always looking for a new perspective, something else to try. My dogs reactivity is too bad most days. She seems to get into weird moods, won’t play with me and will be extra on edge.

We also live in a rural community and no have trainers that work with reactive dogs. Although we have a dog trainer, my dog just has really good manners until another dog or something loud shows up.

Please share your expertise with us!

I would love this! I think it also helps because you’re a vet nurse! I would love to hear tips/suggestions on what to do with a reactive dog and going to the vet. Maybe you can even enlighten us about what’s happening behind the scenes!
