Reactive Mini Session 🐾

Teddy (on the right) is very interested in other dogs, and his reactivity stems from the frustration of wanting to see them. So, we’ve compromised with him: 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 instead of dragging his owner over to meet them. 😉

Teddy also has some guardian breeds in his mix, so this kind of watchful, interested behavior isn’t entirely unexpected given his genetics!

Woods, on the other hand, is unsure about other dogs. His goal is building confidence through lots of easy reps of 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 = 𝐧𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 combined with reinforcement for looking away. 🐶

These two are a great example of why reactivity training isn’t cookie-cutter! 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲. We want to understand what’s driving the behavior and then build a training plan that meets that individual dog’s needs.

September Reactive Mini Session dates are scheduled! 🐾
