When Things Turn to Sh*t (Life with Reactive Dogs)

Season 1 · Episode 22

Thursday, September 4, 2025 • Duration 13:46

In this episode, Deb from Busy Pawz opens up about what life has really been like lately—with six dogs, shifting energy, and a nervous system that’s barely hanging in there. If your dog has felt extra reactive, sensitive, or just off lately… you’re not imagining it.

We explore how unsettled energy in the world (and in our homes) impacts our dogs, why calmness doesn’t always mean control, and what “back to basics” support can look like when things get messy.

✨ You’ll learn:

Why your dog might be reacting more than usual right now
What “calm” actually looks like for different dogs
How to gently reset your routines without guilt
Why regulating your nervous system matters more than you think
Practical examples of supporting sensitive or reactive dogs during high-stress times

This is an honest, compassionate episode for anyone navigating a wobbly season. You’re not failing. You’re adapting. And your dog is doing the best they can, too.

Is Your Dog a Little Bit Woo?

Season 1 · Episode 20

Thursday, August 7, 2025 • Duration 14:00

Some dogs just feel more. They soak up the energy in a room, mirror your emotions, and act differently when something’s off long before you notice anything yourself.

In this episode, Deb from Busy Pawz explores what it means to have an energy-sensitive dog, how to recognise the signs, and what you can do to support them emotionally and energetically.

We talk about:
🐾 What “energetically sensitive” actually means
🐾 The science behind dogs and energy
🐾 Real-life examples of how energy impacts behaviour
🐾 Support strategies for dogs who feel it all
🐾 Why calm isn’t just trained - it’s shared

If your dog seems like they’re picking up on something you can’t explain, this episode is for you.

Does Your Dog Need a Stress Bucket Holiday?

Season 1 · Episode 19

Thursday, July 31, 2025 • Duration 13:10

Ever feel like your dog’s behaviour has changed after a stressful event—even when everything seems “back to normal”? 😕

In this episode, we’re diving into the concept of the stress bucket holiday—why some dogs need a full emotional reset, and how to support them when their nervous system is overloaded.

I’ll share a recent example from my own dog Kenya, signs your dog might need a break, and what a “holiday” actually looks like (hint: it’s not fancy—it’s just what they need).

💡 You’ll learn:

Why recovery is more than physical
How to recognise subtle stress signals
What to pause, ditch, or soften to help your dog truly reset
How nervous system rest can fast-track your dog’s long-term progress

Sometimes doing less is exactly what your dog needs most. Let’s unpack that together.

5 Behaviour Myths That Could Be Holding Your Dog Back (Plus One Bonus!)

Season 1 · Episode 14

Thursday, June 19, 2025 • Duration 13:27

Let’s bust some myths. In this episode, I’m unpacking five common beliefs about dog behaviour that could be getting in the way of real progress—and doing more harm than good.

From “naughty” dogs and outdated dominance advice, to the myth that your dog is just being stubborn or can't change… we’re digging into what’s actually going on behind the scenes.

I’m also sharing:
🛏 The story of the dog who peed on her owner’s pillow (and why it wasn’t about revenge)
🐑 A personal story about my dog Kenya, and how a sheep herding workshop changed how I see leadership forever
🧠 Why “stubborn” is usually just a mismatch in communication
🚪 A better approach when your dog jumps at the front door
🐾 And a bonus myth—what to do instead of waiting for your dog to “grow out of it”

Because with the right support, your dog can change. And so can you.
