🟪Emotional threshold & reactive dogs🟪

➡️Working with reactive dogs “below threshold” is crucial to their progress & emotional journey. When a dog is below their threshold, they’re calm enough to learn, process, and respond to cues without being overwhelmed by stress. This approach is critical when we are trying to build positive associations with triggers (like other dogs, people, cars, etc) while avoiding the fight-or-flight response, which is completely counterproductive to training.

🤔Imagine a reactive dog as a balloon: every trigger they encounter adds pressure, making it easier for them to “pop” into a reactive state. Training below the threshold keeps that balloon from overfilling, allowing gradual exposure to things that the dogs struggle with, but without overwhelming them. By keeping the dogs at a safe, manageable distance from their triggers, they can observe, learn, and respond calmly, helping rewire their response over time.

✅Starting below threshold also benefits the handler. It lets them practice effective techniques without the added pressure of managing an intense reaction, building trust, enabling better two way communication and improving teamwork. A dog who feels safe and understood is more likely to stay below threshold over time, leading to lasting progress in behaviour and confidence.

🤓Training below threshold takes patience, but it’s the only effective ways to help a reactive dog thrive long term. Learning where your reactive rascal’s threshold may be is the first step to better quality of life, for both you and your pooch.
