As much joy as dogs bring to our lives, we sometimes overlook the other emotions that can come with ownership. Stress, frustration, and anxiety are common, along with even more intense feelings like shame, guilt, and grief among others. If you have a reactive dog, you may be experiencing a combination of some, all, or even more emotions. For those looking to find ways to cope with the emotional toll of owning a reactive dog, you’ve come to the right place.

Coping with the emotional toll of owning a reactive dog involves understanding what you’re feeling, accepting the situation, riding the waves of grief and other emotions, setting boundaries and parameters, and treating yourself gently with regular breaks.

To get a better understanding of how dog owners can cope with the emotions and stress of owning a reactive dog, I spoke with several mental health experts about handling the sometimes intense emotions and building a better toolkit to help you move forward with your beloved pet.
