Reactivity and fixation. Often hand in hand.
While many may be familiar with the hard face, stiff body and possible closed mouth when fixating on a stimuli...there are plenty more signs your dog may be fixating.

Raised hackles/Piloerection....
This can cause a dog to "fluff" up or bristle their tail...it could be in just a few areas or the whole coat. This can certainly happen at many other times too and many of these are not connected to reactivity/fixation.
As with everything in reading your dog...context is everything.
As is the whole picture.

Another sign your dog may be fixating is the lengthening of the whole neck...straining forward while usually not moving the body..... often this is paired with the chest puffing/sticking out and legs anchored well back.
The lengthening and stretching out can accompany a lower or higher neck/head position or just straight out in front.

Peeking is often displayed too.
This is a dogs head moving their head side to side without turning their head.
It can look like they have an invisible tree in front and need to peek around it to see the stimuli....but the body usually stays still.

These are only some of the signs of possible fixation.
There are many more and some dogs will certainly not display them all. Some breeds will never have their hackles raised due to their type of coat...but may certainly have other signs.

Exciting! Baby is growing fast and things have been going smoothly with your family dog adjusting as well. That is fantastic! Lately you have been spending more time playing with your baby on the living room floor. This can raise interest, fear, conflict or playfulness in your dog as your baby wiggles, coos, and engages in the familiar environment that once was only adults and your dog. These new movements and happenings can appear to your dog like your baby is a whole NEW baby!

The most exciting and sometimes challenging times often present themselves around new mobility. This is why we offer our Live Dogs & Toddlers program. This webinar is designed to answer your questions about toddlers and dogs, delving into grumble and growl zones, and other helpful tips to expand and enhance your Dog Aware skills. This is a must for any dog lovers with kids or visiting kids!

Join us on tomorrow, February 9th for our live Dogs & Toddlers Webinar at 7 p.m. ET! You can register with the link below!

Meet Violet and Daisy. Daughter and mother, this bonded pair does everything together - including barking at anything and everything! 😆 We met with them yesterday and worked on alternate behaviors. These two are very sweet, once you get to know them! Good work girls! 💞🐶💞🐾🐾
