Welcome to mindfulness & dogs, the podcast for dog guardians who are walking the path of reactivity with heart, courage, and compassion. I’m Biggi, dog trainer, coach, and longtime student of mindfulness. Life with a reactive dog can feel overwhelming. But what if the first step toward calmer walks has nothing to do with your dog? In this episode I share some of my own story of living with a reactive dog and how I discovered that regulating my own nervous system was the missing piece. You’ll learn why calm truly starts with you and how this shift can transform your life. Because calmer walks don’t start with a quick fix. They start with you. And your calm is your dogs safe place. If you’d like to go deeper, I invite you to download my free guide “Support Your Leash Reactive Dog. 3 mindful tools to help your dog calm down on walks”. It’s full of simple, practical tools you can start using right away. Click Here to access your free guide. If your enjoying the show, I’d love for you to subscribe or share it with a fellow dog guardian in need of support. And if you feel like leaving a review, that would really make my day. You can always find out more about me and what's new on my Instagram profile and on Facebook. And I'd love to hear your feedback on how the episode resonated with you.
