6 Comments on “The Best Advice I Have for Reactive Dog Guardians #dogtraining #dogtrainer #reactivedog”

  2. Suppressing the energy or reaction to something, in my mind, is like suppressing depression which isn’t a good thing. It causes more problems

  3. Exactly!!!! And then we get the folks who say that’s it’s “impossible” to do that (to avoid triggers and manage the environment and that’s their excuse for using aversive techniques). Perhaps if it is “impossible” for them to avoid the dog’s triggers, the dog would be off in a better situation where someone IS able to avoid the triggers. Simply shutting down behavior does nothing to actually help the dog. It can only harm the dog in the long run.

  4. And all it took for this dog training professional to get to this breakthrough advice was completely fucking up his training with his reactive border collie for over a year… 😂

  6. I have 2 dogs. When I got the second one, they both became reactive to other dogs when they are on leash which makes walking them together very unpleasant for every other dog owner.

    They are totally fine at the dog park or at doggy daycare.

    Obviously the leashes make them feel trapped and therefore reactive.

    Any tips?

    Thanks!!
