Summary
This is the first in our series where we explore the reactive dog. Whether they are frustrated, excited, or unsure, dogs have triggers that launch them into orbit - just like people. Once that trigger is pulled, the fight or flight reflex kicks in - Game On. Unlike people, dogs can't always reason their way past it. Understanding what triggers your dog can help you manage and change those habits. We talk about causes and suggest some "interrupters" that can help recondition how your dog responds, bringing their minds and bodies back down to earth. We are suggesting you LEAN IN instead of pulling away or reacting yourself. You and your dog will both feel so much better!
