I’m just feeling pretty bummed out about all the things that are so hard or off the table bc of my dog’s reactivity. When I got my dog I really wanted to be able to go solo camping with them and just generally get out more and have adventures. I was naive. Camping really doesn’t seem like an option with the dog I got. We can barely take her anywhere. I feel so held back and just sad and am wondering how other people cope with the limits placed on their lives because of their dogs.
