## Resource

Is a dog with gamma syndrome bad? This week, Tara and Laura talk in depth about what it means if a dog has gamma syndrome. They explain how this behavior starts, why it is completely human-caused, and what a dog with gamma syndrome will display when reacting. This syndrome is completely different than omega syndrome, which they discussed in episode 162, and is more dangerous for handlers and other people and/or dogs in the space.
