Episode Fearful, Anxious, and Reactive Doodles: What’s Really Going On and How to Help (with Dr. Zazie Todd)
Does your Doodle bark at harmless noises, freeze on walks, or react intensely to everyday sights and sounds? Fearful, anxious, and reactive Doodles are more common than you think and it’s not a training failure.
In this episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, Corinne Gearhart sits down with Dr. Zazie Todd, author of Bark: The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, and Reactive Dog, to unpack what’s really happening in your Doodle’s brain and how science-backed, positive reinforcement strategies can help.
You’ll learn:
• The difference between fear, anxiety, and reactivity in Doodles • Why some Doodles are more sensitive to their environment • How positive reinforcement builds optimism and emotional safety • When relaxation protocols can be a game-changer for daily life
