Annie and Little Bear with their friend Grace
Oh my poor neglected blog. Seven whole months on its lonesome, twiddling its pixels in cyber space wondering if this was it, the thing every blog dreads – the last post.
Well, despite my tardiness, TLBDB, now in its fifth year, need not fear, I have no intentions of abandoning it. I have though come to accept that my posts may not be quite so frequent as they once were.
My less frequent updates are due to a couple of factors. Finding a group of people locally who are all living and working with reactive dogs has been an enormous help, not just for the opportunity to socialise our dogs, but to find support from people who really, genuinely understand the challenges.
Working for myself also means that I now get paid to write. Admittedly, I don’t get paid to write about dogs, but you never say never!
Little Bear and Annie have come such a long way and continue to be a source of joy and hilarity. They still have issues and we’ve come to realise that when working with fearful dogs, there’s rarely ever a destination, just a better quality of road.

Every year that goes by they get more doggy friends. Anyway, don’t stay away so long next time. 🙂

Hi. I’ve just discovered your blog following a difficult weekend with my highly reactive miniature schaunzer. I can really empathise with the challenges you have had with little bear. After feeling very low about the situation and panicking whether there will ever be a light at the end of the tunnel, I have decided to have a renewed positive attitude about things and your blog has really inspired me to work harder to understand my pup, stop worrying about what other people think and continue with the positive re-reinforcement training. Thanks! 🙂

Thank you so much for your comment and I’m so pleased it’s helped. Having a reactive dog can sometimes feel like a lonely place to be but there are plenty of us out there. Feel free to email via the blog address if you ever need to chat. Keep up the great work. 🙂
