Improving reactivity requires opening lines of communication between you and your dog. YES you need cues to be able to communicate what you want your dog to do and when, but you also need to be open to hearing what your dog is telling you with their body language! TIMING is also critical when working with a reactive dog. Part of improving your timing requires you to build your observation skills. Intervening at the right time—usually the moment your dog notices the trigger but before they react—is critical. Observation also allows you to recognize your dog’s threshold and adapt your own behavior accordingly. Reminders: 1️⃣ Not every encounter with a trigger is a good training opportunity. Learning how to avoid triggers or prevent your dog from noticing/watching them is important. 2️⃣ If you’re struggling with your reactive dog, we recommend reaching out to a qualified trainer for help! What are some observations you’ve made about your reactive dog’s body language on walks?
