Hi! I’m Shannon.

I know firsthand how challenging, isolating, and sometimes overwhelming it can feel to live with a reactive dog. When I adopted Luna, my first dog, I quickly realized that reactivity wasn’t something most people understood - and finding professionals who truly got it was even harder.

Over the years, I have worked as a pet sitter and rescue volunteer, and I have met so many dogs just like Luna - amazing, loving companions who just need a little extra patience & understanding. Through my journey, I have met owners, who, like me, were looking for the right pet professionals to help support their dog’s needs.

That is why I created Reactive Resource: a central directory where reactive dog owners can:

• Find professionals who specialize in or welcome reactive and anxious dogs

• Access resources and information to better understand reactivity

• Feel supported by a community that truly understands.

My hope is that this site helps you feel less alone, more empowered, and connected with the right people who can make life with your reactive dog a little easier.
