• 158 | Are You Coming in Too Hot? Understanding the Fearful Dog's Mind

  Hey Dog Lover 🐾🐾Ever saw a dog so cute you couldn’t help but just rush over to give them a little pet?(Yeah, me too.)But sometimes we need to pause and consider what our movement means to a dog.In fact, this is one of the biggest—and most misunderstood—reasons fearful dogs struggle to feel safe, even with people who love them dearly.In this episode, we explore what it means to “come in too hot” from your dog’s perspective.We’ll talk about prey-mind vs. predator-mind, body language, and the often-overlooked subtleties of pressure and approach that can either build trust… or blow it.You’ll learn:What “predator energy” looks like from a dog’s point of viewHow to soften your presence so your dog can breatheWhy the way you connect matters more than the thing you doIf you’ve ever been told your dog is “weird” or “overreacting,” this one will shift your lens completely—and help you show up in a way your dog can actually feel safe around.I hope you enjoy this one.Tracy xoxoNext steps: 🐾👣Join the Fearful Dog: Fearless Framework—our 12-month online coaching program that’s changing the game for reactive, anxious, and misunderstood dogs.When you enroll, you’ll get:Monthly live Zoom Q&A calls and trainings to guide you through the tough stuffAccess to a supportive private community of humans walking this same roadA Relationship-First Roadmap that helps you lead with calm confidenceReal coaching.

• 157 | Tossing Treats Making Things Worse for Your Fearful Dog?

  Hey Dog Lover 🐾🐾You’ve probably heard it before—“just toss some treats when your dog sees a trigger, to change their emotional response to the trigger."And yes, that can work.But there’s a small problem...You’re not part of the solution.In this episode, we’re unpacking the popular advice around food, fear, and emotional responses in dogs—especially when it comes to the why behind the behaviour.Because here’s the truth: if you’re not part of the process, you’re missing out on how YOU can influence your dog’s behaviour in a meaningful way.We’ll talk about:Why “treat and retreat” might not be the whole pictureThe difference between influencing vs. observing behaviourHow to build trust from the inside out—not from the sidelinesIf your dog is still anxious, reactive, or unsure—despite all the food and effort—this one’s for you.I hope you enjoy this one.Tracy xoxoNext steps: 🐾👣Join the Fearful Dog: Fearless Framework, our signature 12-month online coaching program built for dog lovers just like you.This is where everything changes.Here’s what you’ll get inside:Monthly Zoom Q&A calls and trainings where we tackle your real-life challengesA private, supportive community of people walking the same pathStep-by-step lessons on trust, leadership, and relevance—not just rules and techniquesCoaching that grows you, not just your dog’s behaviourYour relationship will bloom.Everything gets better and easier when you understand how to be the person your dog needs you to be.Join us at: 👉 beyondobedience.ca/fearlessMusic Credit 🎶Special thanks to Shawn Trotter – www.shawntrotter.com
