Diane Garrod - Understanding Stress & Reactivity in Dogs
Understanding and Mitigating Stress in Dogs with Diane from Canine Transformations Learning Center
In this episode, I have an insightful conversation with Diane, a specialist in canine behavior and stress management, currently based in Langley, Washington.
With over 25 years of experience, Diane shares her journey from her early days in dog obedience training to her current focus on stress and behavior problems in dogs.
We discuss the evolution of dog training over the decades, highlighting the shift from aversive techniques to positive reinforcement methods. Diane elaborates on how modern urban environments can exacerbate stress and reactivity in dogs and provides practical advice on managing and mitigating these issues.
We delve into specific cases, such as dealing with over-arousal in walks, the importance of problem-solving exercises for mental stimulation, and ways to ensure dogs get adequate rest and relaxation.
Diane also introduces her systematic approach to stress release, detailed in her book, and announces upcoming works on resource guarding and a more comprehensive guide on canine stress detox. For dog owners looking to better understand and support their pets, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable strategies.
