Why do U-turns help reactivity?
Well… it’s not always for the reason people think.

✅ Early recognition.
By spotting those subtle and tiny posture changes, you can turn before reactivity kicks in. That’s the optimum time to help change emotions.....not when they’re already reacting.

✅ Distance creates comfort
Re-engaging while the trigger is still at that manageable distance turns this into a training opportunity......your dog learns this other dog isn’t so “bad” after all.

Well look at you!
You're building resilience and optimism.

✅ A controllable cue.
Having a reliable U turn gives you something predictable to use in "unpredictable" situations.

Are there pitfalls with this method?
You betcha...as there are in many dog training techniques.

Timing is key, so rehearse before you need it.

Don’t rush straight back to the same distance that triggered that escalation. Sometimes you can return partway....sometimes a bit closer.
Sometimes not at all.

Often just an extra metre or two is the confidence boost your dog needs.

Your dog can literally smell how you’re feeling 🧠👃🐾

Dogs don’t just have a good sense of smell — they’ve got a superpower. While we have around 5–6 million scent receptors, dogs can have up to 300 million!

The part of their brain that processes smells is about 40 times larger (proportionally) than ours. This allows them to detect incredibly subtle chemical changes — including the ones your body gives off when you're feeling stressed, angry, or anxious.

This is how your dog can smell your emotions.
And it explains why some dogs appear to “look guilty” when you’re upset — not because they know they’ve done something wrong, but because they’re picking up on your emotional state and reacting with appeasement or fear-based behaviours.

That so-called “guilty look” is actually your dog saying, “You feel different, and that’s making me nervous.” 😔🐶

Understanding this helps us respond with compassion instead of blame. 💜
