Have you heard of breed fulfilment β
Certain breeds require particular outlets in order to fulfil their needs. If these needs are not met, then your dog can become frustrated which can lead to them becoming reactive.
For example, my dog, Golden Retriever, a breed originally bred for sports & retrieving game birds. Cali has always had an high prey drive so I make sure she has exposure to these environments & situations and allow her to fulfil those needs. ( picture above : yesterday doing exactly that ) π² πΏοΈ
Collies, Labradors,German Shepards, spaniels etc are examples of breeds that require an outlet.
Balls, flirt poles, bite work, hearing, chasing, pulling heavy weights etc are only a few examples of how outlets can be met, however, all of this has to be done in a controlled way.
Please do your research before purchasing a dog and make sure you are knowledgeable in the best way to train and develop the breed.
If you donβt, the chances are you will hit a point where you will struggle to manage the dogs behaviour π
