If you’re an owner with a reactive dog, you’re probably familiar with how overwhelming it can feel when your dog exhibits strong reactions to certain triggers—whether it’s other dogs, people, cars or bikes. But don’t worry, there is a path forward. Here are a few tips to get started:1. **Understand the Root Cause**: Reactivity often comes from fear, anxiety, or frustration. Your dog may be overwhelmed in certain situations. Identifying their triggers and recognizing the signs of stress is key.2. **Create a Calm Environment**: Set your dog up for success by providing a peaceful, consistent routine. The more predictable their world is, the less reactive they may become.3. **Meet your dogs needs** Your dog likely has pent up frustrations, meeting their needs can give appropriate outlets for their energy 4. **Desensitize Gradually**: Take baby steps in exposing your dog to their triggers at a distance they can tolerate, rewarding calm behavior along the way. This slow, controlled exposure can help reduce reactivity over time.5. **Stay Patient**: Progress with reactive dogs can take time, and each dog will respond differently. Consistency is your friend, so keep up the hard work.If you’re looking for more structured guidance, I’ve created a comprehensive course that walks you through step-by-step methods to resolve your dog’s reactivity.

It’s totally normal to get frustrated with your dogs behaviour BUT they are doing their absolute best with the education you provide. Here’s some tips on ways you can manage your dogs frustrating behaviour until theyve got a better education: 1. Make use of long lines when out on walks instead of letting your dog off lead to rehearse unwanted behaviour like chasing prey or ignoring your recall 2. Invest in stairgates, crates or leads in the home to help manage their behaviours at home like jumping on guests, chewing skirting boards or stealing food off the counter top 3. Invest more time in playing with your dog instead of walking them. You will be surprised just how much of a difference this makes to their listening skills! Got a dog training question?

Do you feel like your dog is just FULL of energy and you just can’t quite keep up and satisfy their needs? Walking them more isn’t the answer. What you need is the following: 1. Make sure your dog is getting enough sleep 😴 by creating a relaxation routine 2.

What?!! Yup, thats right. Not only is your dog rehearsing the behaviour making it stronger each time they react, they’re also making their body more equipped, on edge, alert and therefore more likely to react in the upcoming hours and days. Provide your dog with a “cortisol” holiday for a few days while you prep your dog on some new, alternative skills you want them to perform instead of reacting.
