In our first LIVE unPACKing of 2025, we're talking with Grace about her rescue dog Stella. 

Stella came to Grace from a neglectful situation where she was crated with two other dogs.  And although Stella has clear discomfort with the kennel, the most impactful behavior in Grace's life is Stella's intense stranger danger (both at people out in the world as well as her partner within the home).  We're digging in to strategies to help her teach new behavior patterns to Stella so the cycle doesn't continue to feed into and reinforce itself.

Come back next month for another new case and LIVE unpacking, and later this year we'll check back in with Grace and Stella to get an update on their training journey.

We are beyond excited for the next evolution of unPACKed that will bring even more transparency to this project.  This season, we are going to be doing LIVE unpacking episodes with our guests before they train with an intern. Don't worry, we'll still have follow-ups with the trainers and guests to hear how things have progressed. But we know that this new format is going to spark some humanity back into the clinical world.

In this episode, we sit down with Emma to discuss her two rescue dogs, Bounty and Galaxy, and their challenges with reactivity and fear. After relocating to Kuwait, Bounty’s triggers—bikers, cars, and strangers—have intensified, while Galaxy remains unpredictable in her confidence. Emma shares her struggles with training in a high-stimulation environment and managing two dogs at once.

Mattison and Jerri explore the importance of shifting from overanalyzing triggers to focusing on practical solutions. They break down the difference between management and modification, emphasize the role of structured training, and discuss how small, consistent changes can make a big impact. This episode is all about reframing how we approach reactivity and finding a path forward.

Come back next month for another new case and LIVE unpacking, and later this year we'll check back in with Emma to get an update on her training journey.
