‘Dipper is once again a happy goofy goober at the dog park’: Owner’s guilt over her rescue dog’s re-emerging fears is transformed into pride and joy as they work together to manage the dog’s anxiety and successfully reclaim the freedom of walks and play

Reactive doggos are a difficult bunch. It is not their fault that they have ended up this way, it is completely their hooman's fault, but as we all know, cleaning up after other people's messes is one of the toughest things we have to do. And for the pawrents who end up adopting a doggo with reactive qualities, their road to recovery is largely uphill and fraught with struggles and strife. But as with the pawrent in this story, the main thing is to never give up on the darling doggo. To make sure that no matter what, they know that they are safe, and will be loved even once they finally calm down from their reactive behavior.

Which is exactly how this woman managed to help her traumatized pupper overcome his painful past and step towards a brighter future full of love, laughs and wholesome memories. This is the story of never giving up on the sweet soul of a pupper.

Well, yeah, when your whole entire world from birth was a cage/garbage area, of course every sight and sound in the world would be terrifying. Goodness, that must have been quite the rehabilitation process to go through. The amount of dedication and persistence that this must have taken to achieve is unreal.

Oh, jheez, that is not quite the development that anyone would be hoping for. What a wrench in the works. It’s kind of annoying as well as no one is truly at fault, for who could have imagined that something that big and scary would jump out in the middle of the night. No matter how rehabilitated Dipper was at this point there was nothing that could have prepawed him for this.
