I have learned (and continue to learn) an immense amount from these groups:
- Fearful & Anxious Dog Support Community by Dogkind - a lovely supportive group
- Dog Training Advice and Support - this is different to other groups in that it's run by trainers. You have to read the guides (which are very useful) before posting
- ABC Dogs NZ - lots of advice regarding reactivity and dog behaviour in general
- absoluteDogs - games-based training ideas
- Leslie McDevitt's Pattern Games - pattern games create predictability which can really help anxious dogs
- Karen Overall's Relaxation Protocol - great for building independence within the home
This article helped me a lot when deciding we might need to trial medication: https://www.drjensdogblog.com/behavior-medication-first-line-therapy-or-last-resort/
