130 | Dog struggle with guests? Help Your Dog Build Bravery (Not Just "Tolerate Visitors") - Beyond Obedience | Dog Training, Dog Behaviour Training, Scared Dogs, Reactive Dogs

Hey Dog Lover 🐾
If your dog struggles when guests come over—whether it’s barking, hiding, or pacing—this episode is for you. Inspired by Jenee from the Living Beyond Obedience community, we’re digging into the Build Your Brave Protocol: Guest Edition so you can create a space where your dog feels safe and even starts to build confidence with each visit.

We’ll talk about:

Setting up a comfort zone before guests arrive
Responding based on your dog’s personality and needs
Prepping your guests so they’re part of the solution
Reading early signs of discomfort before things escalate
Knowing what “success” actually looks like for a fearful dog in guest situations

You’ll walk away with a step-by-step plan to help your dog move from just surviving visits… to feeling a little braver each time.

hope you enjoy this one! Tracy.
