Things people think will fix reactivity… but won’t 🚫🐕

When your dog reacts to other dogs, people, bikes or noises, it can be tempting to try a quick fix.

But these common approaches often don’t address the reason behind the behaviour — and some can actually make things worse.

❌ “I need to become the pack leader.”
Reactivity isn’t caused by your dog trying to dominate you. Your dog needs clear guidance, safety and skills — not a power struggle.

❌ “I’ll tell my dog off when they react.”
Punishing barking, lunging or growling may suppress the behaviour, but it doesn’t change the underlying emotion. Your dog may still feel worried, frustrated or over-excited — they just learn that showing it gets them in trouble.

❌ “They just need to play with more dogs.”
More exposure isn’t necessarily better. Repeatedly putting a reactive dog into overwhelming situations can rehearse the behaviour and increase stress.

❌ “A choke chain will stop the lunging.”
Pain or discomfort may interrupt a reaction, but it doesn’t teach your dog how to feel or behave differently around their trigger. It can also create negative associations with the thing your dog is reacting to.

✅ What actually helps?
Managing your dog’s environment, working under threshold, gradually changing their emotional response through desensitisation and counter-conditioning, and teaching them what you want them to do instead.

Reactivity is a behaviour problem — but underneath it is often an emotional response. Address the emotion, and you have a much better chance of changing the behaviour. ❤️

No Excuses

“I don’t have time to walk my dog.”
“It’s raining.”
“I’m tired.”
“They have a big backyard.”
“We played inside.”

Your dog doesn’t understand your schedule.

They have energy, needs, instincts and a world they’re designed to explore.

A backyard is not a replacement for a walk.
Throwing a ball for 10 minutes isn’t necessarily enough.
And being busy doesn’t make your dog’s needs disappear.

Dogs are a choice.

You chose to bring a dog into your life — and with that choice comes responsibility.

If you don’t have the time, energy or willingness to walk a dog daily, don’t get a dog.

And if your circumstances change after getting one, find a solution. Change your routine. Get help. Hire a dog walker. Ask for support.

Because your dog didn’t choose your lifestyle.

You chose them.

So make sure you’re prepared to give them the life they deserve. 🐾

He didn’t bark. He didn’t lunge. But he was NOT okay.

This is something we often miss when looking at reactivity.

The dog being trained in this video isn’t reacting to the other dog — but he is shaking. That tells us he’s feeling worried, even though he isn’t barking or lunging.

Real-life reactivity training isn’t just about teaching a dog not to react. It’s about helping them feel safe and giving them the skills to cope when another dog is barking, lunging or behaving unpredictably.

And that’s why controlled training setups are so valuable.

We can’t always control what your dog will encounter in the real world. Another dog may suddenly bark, lunge, run past, or behave in a way your dog finds scary.

Our goal is to gradually expose dogs to these real-life triggers at a level they can handle, while teaching them that they can stay safe, disengage and look to their handler.

Because a quiet dog isn’t necessarily a comfortable dog.

Look at the whole dog — not just whether they bark. This anxious dog finds the world rather scary but has done great progress and was able to handle a situation he would have previously found very challenging. Instead of joining in with the other reactive dog, he stayed quiet - a big win for us!

Unrealistic expectations.

You can’t skip 2 years of training and expect 2 years of results.

Dog training isn’t something you simply do to your dog when you suddenly need them to behave a certain way.

The dog you have today is shaped by what happens every day: their needs being met, their environment, the boundaries you set, the skills you reinforce, and the relationship you build with them.

A trainer can teach your dog skills, but they can’t build that relationship for you.

Real reliability comes from consistent, long-term training and practice—not a few sessions when life suddenly changes and you need your dog to be obedient.

If you want a dog who can perform at a high level, you need to invest in them at that level.

Training isn’t a quick fix. It’s a relationship you build over time.

One of the best recall games you probably aren’t playing…

Hide and seek isn’t just a fun game—it’s a powerful way to build a dog who wants to find you.

When your dog learns that searching for you is rewarding, you’re building the foundations of a stronger recall:
🐾 Your dog learns to pay attention to where you are.
🐾 Your dog practises choosing you over distractions.
🐾 Your dog learns that finding you is exciting.

Start somewhere easy:
1️⃣ Wait until your dog is engaged with something else.
2️⃣ Hide nearby.
3️⃣ Call your dog once.
4️⃣ Celebrate when they find you!

Keep it fun and don’t make every recall mean the end of freedom. Sometimes your dog should come back… and then get released to go play again.

The best recalls are built through hundreds of positive experiences—not just when we need our dogs to come back.

Have you played hide and seek with your dog before? 🐾
