69 | How Can I Tell if My Dog Is Overwhelmed?

Hey, fellow dog lover! 🐾 Have you ever wondered if your dog is feeling overwhelmed but weren’t quite sure how to tell? Dogs are constantly communicating through subtle body language and behaviour—and learning to recognize these signs and to move into action to help them feel safe and supported. In this episode, we’re diving into: The telltale signs of an overwhelmed dog (spoiler: it’s not always what you think!). How stress builds up and why recognizing overwhelm early can prevent reactive behaviours. What to do when your dog is feeling overstimulated—without adding to their stress. Real-life examples (like what happens at the vet clinic) to help you spot overwhelm in action. The more you understand your dog’s stress signals, the better you can show up for them with confidence and calmness. Big NEWS🎉 👉 Join us for the Calm Down, Dog! Bootcamp happening AGAIN!
