🐾Why No Reactive Dog is Ever the Same🐾

Every dog is an individual. Even within the same breed — or the same litter — no two dogs are identical.

A dog’s behaviour is influenced by a complex mix of genetic, environmental, social, and experiential factors. These elements combine to create the unique individual standing in front of you.

Genetics lay the foundation. They influence temperament, stress thresholds, resilience, and even predispositions toward certain behaviours. But genetics are only one piece of the puzzle.

The environment a dog grows up in — from early socialisation experiences to the stability of their daily life — plays a huge role in shaping confidence and coping skills. A dog raised in a calm, consistent environment may interpret the world very differently from one exposed to chaos or unpredictability.

Then there are social experiences: how dogs interact with humans, other animals, and their surroundings. Positive encounters help build trust and understanding; negative or overwhelming experiences can contribute to fear, uncertainty, or defensive behaviours.

Even learning history matters. If a dog discovers that barking or lunging makes a perceived threat move away, that behaviour is likely to repeat — not out of “badness,” but because it worked for them.

So, when we talk about reactivity, it’s never just about the behaviour we see. It’s about what’s driving it underneath — fear, confusion, genetics, past experiences, or a combination of them all.

Every reactive dog tells a different story, and understanding that story is the first step toward helping them write a new one.

ABOUT US...

Hi my name is Elsa, I created Mental Mutts Pet Services in March 2018. A caring, responsible, trusted and reliable dog walking and pet service. I cover Hitchin and surrounding areas. I started Mental Mutts with the aim to let dogs be dogs, to have fun whilst socializing and well being a little on the loopy-side! I pride myself in the one- to -one dog and walker connection. Making walks engaging, helping with training and letting dogs have fun- as dogs should do! Mental Mutts began with just 1-1 walks, group walks and then began pet sitting for all animals too... We now cater for all breeds, furs and scales! I’ve has always had a deep-love and respect for animals, whilst growing up had a multitude of pets from fish to horses. From 2015 I spent time volunteering for local animal charities and doggy day care. I began building experience and pet sitting/walking local dogs for neighbours etc when I began to dabble with the idea of what Mental Mutts is today. I have continued to expand my knowledge by completing a First AID/CPR course for dogs (able to administer medication). I’m also a IMDT trained, dog trainer and currently studying to be a behaviourist. I aim to tailor our services to your best-friends needs, we love your pets just as much as I love my dog Coco (who comes to work with us!) And my cats Cookie and Britney. I truly understand what it's like to leave a pet with someone else (nerve wrecking!). However I offer a service which is loving, fun and responsible to assure you that your best-friend is always in the best hands! Mental Mutts is fully insured by Pet plan and DBS checked. Dog First Aid trained/CPR. Reliable and caring service with 5+ years experience. Available weekdays and weekends for all your pet needs.
