Hosted by professional rehabilitation specialist Claire Lawrence, this podcast explores the emotional reality behind living with reactive, sensitive, fearful, frustrated, or behaviourally complex dogs.


These are honest conversations about:


  • reactivity
  • aggression
  • emotional overwhelm
  • nervous systems
  • behaviour science
  • realistic rehabilitation
  • responsible ownership
  • and the emotional toll reactive dog ownership can take on people too


This is not a podcast about creating perfect dogs.


It’s about understanding behaviour more deeply, building emotional safety, creating realistic progress, and helping owners feel seen, supported, and understood along the way.


Through real stories, practical education, behavioural insight, and compassionate conversations, Claire breaks down the truth about reactive dogs in a way that is calm, honest, and easy to understand, and all without shame, gimmicks, or unrealistic promises.


Because, sometimes the dog isn’t the problem.

Sometimes the advice is.


And, often progress starts the moment we stop trying to force dogs into impossible expectations and start understanding the dog in front of us instead.


If you’ve ever cried because of your dog’s behaviour…you’re in the right place.

In the very first episode of Reactive Dog Training, Claire Lawrence explains why she chose to dedicate her work to reactive, emotionally overwhelmed, and behaviourally complex dogs. The dogs most people misunderstand, fear, or eventually give up on.

This is an honest conversation about:

  • reactive dogs
  • emotional overwhelm
  • behaviour vs emotion
  • why obedience doesn’t always equal emotional stability
  • the hidden struggles reactive dog owners face
  • and why compassion, clarity, and realistic expectations matter so much in rehabilitation

Claire also shares her own experiences working with dogs like Dot, Logan, and Digger, and explains why she believes behaviour is far more than bad behaviour or disobedience.

Because, sometimes the barking, lunging, shutdowns, or chaos we see on the surface are symptoms of something much deeper underneath.

This episode is for reactive dog owners who feel exhausted, isolated, judged, or overwhelmed and need a reminder that they are not alone.

If you enjoy the episode, make sure to follow the podcast and share it with another reactive dog owner who needs to hear this.
