Pup Talk The Podcast Episode 148: When dog struggles affect your mental health

Today’s episode coincides with World Mental Health Day, a day to raise awareness and break the stigma around mental health struggles.   If your dog struggles in the world, it’s not surprising that this can impact your own mental health. Feelings of frustration, isolation, guilt, or even embarrassment are common.   In this episode, I'll explore how important it is to care for your mental health when managing a reactive or challenging dog. From simple self-care practices to seeking support, you are not alone in this journey.   This episode is kindly sponsored by Tug-E-Nuff, who create interactive and durable tug toys.   You can sign up for their free Power of Play course by visiting http://tug-e-nuff.com/puptalk You can even get 10% off your first order.    If you want help moving your anxious, reactive or over-excitable dog towards feeling calmer and more confident, check out Pup Talk The Pack dog training and support community https://pup-talk.mykajabi.com/the-pack   You can also join my free Facebook community www.facebook.com/groups/puptalk/
