023 | Megan and Luna, on the intersection of pica, food indiscrimination, and reactivity
Megan and I talk about all things complex dog:
– Labels and when to use them. Is Luna, reactive, aggressive, complex, or “simply” a dog dealing with health issues?
-What are her health issues? What’s causing her extreme pica and food indiscrimination?
-Is pica a cause or symptom of Luna’s anxiety?
-What’s behind her resource guarding of her own vomit? And what is making her vomit in the first place?
-The importance of having a great primary care veterinarian, especially a force-free one
-The magic of a muzzle
-Feeling alone in having a dog with such a peculiar and unique set of behavior problems
-The importance of doing things without your dogÂ

Could you use some help with your mental health?
It’s tough and stressful to be the guardian of a complex dog. In my coaching, I teach you tools to be able to reduce the amount of stress so you feel more relaxed in the relationship with your dog.
