Reactivity is on my mind……. And the huge difference exposure training makes.

🐾Exposing your dogs to small amounts of stress increases resilience.
Teaching the dog to cope around different stimuli.

🐾Reactivity is an inability to deal with stress. By working around small stressors, dogs learn calm down.

🐾Exposing your dog to noise, people, traffic, construction, storms, other dogs & animals is like an inoculation to reactivity

Don’t think your dog could be as calm as Saxon? He wasn’t always this good, particularly around traffic.

Reactive behavior can be changed with the right training, patience and support.

Crazy Mutz specialize in making reactive dogs feel more confident, while giving you the tools to handle tricky situations.

Want a calmer more connected relationship with your dog? Message me and let’s chat about your dog

Meet the beautiful Mr Burns ❤️
This year old little munchkin has a bit of a sad back story. He was rescued from death row in a shelter after being caught running feral with his litter mates in rural Victoria.
Needless to say, trust with humans is not his strong suit. After a long time fending for himself, he is learning that his handlers will advocate for him and he doesn’t have to handle every challenge for himself.
Confidence building exercises and impulse control techniques plus exposure to new environments are high on our training agenda

The timid Mr Jaxon learning to be neutral around noise, traffic & humans. These big windows at Aldi used to scare the bejesus out of him.
