This is what progress can look like when working through dog reactivity. 🐾💛
In this video, Walk Star Rex notices a dog barking from its yard - but watch what happens next: instead of escalating, he turns back toward his walker for guidance and support (and a reward for good behavior), then calmly continues on his way.
Reactivity is often big feelings, overstimulation, uncertainty, or frustration bubbling over. And progress doesn’t always mean silence or perfection overnight.
Sometimes progress looks like:
• recovering faster
• checking in with their person
• choosing connection over escalation
• feeling safe enough to disengage
Working through reactivity is a journey built on trust, communication, and confidence - small moments of consistent positive reinforcement over time that lead to bigger wins. 🐕
