Eps 93. Rem’s reactivity journey

Welcome to this episode of Potter Paws, where Debbie Potter shares the inspiring story of her middle dog, Rem, and his remarkable journey with canine reactivity. In this candid and insightful episode, Debbie opens up about the challenges and triumphs of managing Rem’s unique “quiet” reactivity—where instead of barking and lunging, Rem freezes and lays down when unsure about other dogs. Debbie discusses why this less obvious type of reactivity is often misunderstood and, at times, even more complex to address.

Whether you have a reactive dog yourself or you’re simply interested in compassionate, ethical dog training, this episode is packed with practical tips and heartfelt advice to help you feel supported on your own dog parenting journey. Stay tuned for inspiration, education, and a healthy dose of real-life honesty from someone who’s lived the reactivity rollercoaster and found success on the other side!
