When we got Mutton 3 years ago, it was really hard. She would excessively bark at anything that passed by, would pull on the leash, lunge and bark at other dogs, would get into recurring fights with Luchi, my other dog, would guard her food - it was just really hard. I was struggling to love her and feel safe around her. But I was also struggling to help her feel safe and secure. 

While all of that has changed today, that journey was challenging. It didn't help that mainstream and conventional training advice didn't seem to focus on building safety, support and security for a dog like her, but really focused on bending them to our whims and needs by using force, scarcity and other unkind wasy that didn't resonate with me at all.

My own journey with Mutton and my work as a behaviour consultant with dogs who struggle with reactivity have inspired this program. In collaboration with Sowjanya from Dog Pawmise, another BHARCS Consultant, we are excited to bring you this program for your "reactive" dog, anchored in a holistic approach and built on science & empathy.
