Living with a Reactive Dog: The Hidden Challenges

Having a reactive dog is tough in ways most people don’t understand. Every walk feels like navigating a minefield of triggers—other dogs, people, bikes, or even just the unexpected. The fear of a meltdown can be exhausting, both mentally and emotionally.

It’s not just the public moments either; it’s the constant second-guessing. Should we go to the park today? What time is safest? What if we meet an off-leash dog? It’s managing judgmental stares when your dog barks or lunges, even when you’re doing your absolute best to handle the situation.

But there’s also an unseen side to it: the love and dedication it takes to help your dog feel safe in a world that feels overwhelming to them. Training, adapting routines, and celebrating the small wins—it’s all part of the journey.

To anyone struggling with a reactive dog, you’re not alone. Every step forward is a victory, no matter how small it feels. And remember, your dog’s progress may not look like someone else’s, but your efforts matter.

Share your experiences below—what’s been the hardest part of living with a reactive dog? Let’s support each other!

Lets talk dog body language.

What do you think your dogs tail is telling you?

They're happy right? No, not necessarily.

Below is a info graphic of what tail positioning could mean.

** Always look at the rest of your dog too while looking at body language **

I think Bruce has to get 🌟 of the week just for this ⬇️

I have been working with Bruce and his owners for a good few months now. Sometimes it takes people, as well as dogs, a while to catch onto things but Regan has thought on her feet in this situation and boom 💥 it's paid off 🥰

Well done guys, I'm super proud of you all.

5 🌟 Star review

This client brought her puppy Maverick to Puppy classes. My puppy classes only lasted 4 weeks and they took him to another set of classes with another trainer yesterday.

Maverick was so fun to teach in classes...I see bright things in his future 🤩

Ghost had a training walk this morning and did soooo well! Ghost is reactive to humans and dogs and over the time we were training, 2 people walked by and Ghost was 'ok' with it 👏

Yesterday, Bruce did 𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 in our session!

Despite a big challenge—an 𝙤𝙛𝙛-𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙 dog running straight up to him—he managed to calm himself down and then 𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚 beautifully with his owner.

You can see in the video that while Bruce is still 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙛𝙪𝙡 after that interaction, his response is a huge improvement from just a few months ago.

Well done to Bruce and his guardian for staying calm and bouncing back so well!
