π Bella Girl π
Reactivity training is never a straight line. Some dogs follow a pattern and we can help them learn to deal with stress and make choices fairly quickly.
My girl Bella has a few more missing pieces to her puzzle than the average dog so it's important to give her time to just "be a dog" instead of forcing constant control and pressure to make forward progress.
Reactivity training inevitably is stressful for the dog so a balance between addressing the issue and finding outlets in exercise, play and nose work helps everyone remember that we're working towards a more fulfilling life overall. Lucky to be entrusted with this special girl π
