# Beyond Obedience | Dog Training, Dog Body Language, Anxious Dogs, Scared Dogs, Reactive Dogs

A podcast by Tracy Franken- Dog Trainer, Vet Tech, Dog Lover, 🐾. Wish you could enjoy life with your dog again? Struggling with a reactive, fearful, or anxious dog? Tired of dog training that never seems to work? I'm Tracy, retired vet tech, dog trainer, and founder of Beyond Obedience. I know how frustrating life with a struggling dog can feel. This podcast will help you understand your dog's behaviour, build trust, develop leadership and influence naturally, and enjoy everyday life together—without constantly trying to fix your dog. If you're ready for less stress, more confidence, and a better relationship with your dog, you're in the right place.
