🐾 What happens when your dog’s reactivity forces you to rethink everything you thought you knew about being a “good” pet parent?

In this raw and relatable episode, Em sits down with her client Cobia to talk about Majic—a big-feeling, reactive dog who’s completely transformed her life. From breakdowns to breakthroughs, this is a powerful look at what it really takes to show up for your dog when the world doesn’t always understand.

🎧 You’ll hear:

• Why reactivity isn’t “bad behavior”—it’s communication

• The mental and emotional toll of being judged as a dog parent

• How Majic’s growth reshaped Cobia’s confidence and perspective

• What our dogs really need from us to feel safe and connected

If you’ve ever felt alone, ashamed, or overwhelmed by your dog’s big feelings—this episode is for you. Because sometimes, the dog we think is “too much” is the one who teaches us the most.
