Triangle
Here's a summary from one of our reactive dog sessions - a sneak peek and breakdown of what goes on and what types of reactivity I'm dealing with on a daily basis. Not all reactivity responses fit into the same pigeon hole. Reactivity is an outward display of an internal pressure build up.

Snippet of our Weds session. Two of these dogs are ‘reactive’ for different reasons and with different outcomes, however, focus and engagement are key to guiding them to respond in more acceptable ways. Here they are simply ‘ignoring’ eachother, and reaping the rewards 👍 #ttcanines #staypositive #LifesGood #believeintheprocess #dogtraining #dogs #resiliance #Mali #gsd #focus #engagement
It is what you want it to be
So, I’m going to stick my head above the firing line 😴 so, tonight, walking back from the pub, young Mali, high prey drive, off leash, no long line, no pinch collar, no e-collar, working for food, ignoring a field full of sheep, sheep roughly 50 paces away, bleeting, running around, but she is working with me. Can I let this dog run free in this field without me as a focal point, f**k no, can I walk her through / near any live stock and not loose control, f**k yes, so why am I posting this. Firstly, understand this is a 24hr process to achieve this, secondly, stop expecting your dogs to ignore their breeding without constant clear guidance and thirdly, PUT THE TIME AND EFFORT IN AND STOP LOOKING FOR QUICK FIXES, love your dogs, stop loving having ‘fur babies’ 😁👍#ttcanines #staypositive #LifesGood #believeintheprocess #dogtraining #dogs #Mali #instinctivedrift #impulsecontrol

Keela’s Hide & Seek skills coming on nicely 👍Hide & Seek can end in various outcomes, such as being fed, getting a ball, fuss etc it just so happens that Keela likes the ‘Bite the Badguy’ outcome 😂 #ttcanines #staypositive #lifesgood #believeintheprocess #dogtraining #dogs #Mali #tracking #mantrailing #bitework

Hide & Seek
Miss Pink and Gas doing a bit of ‘Man Trailing’ to earn breakfast. Follow the trail to find the target to get breakfast 🐕🐕👍 #ttcanines #search #dogtraining #fastandfurious #Mali #gsd #staypositive #engagement #believeintheprocess #commitment #dogs
Search
Blue and Pink doing some trailing with item indications at the end and Gas doing an ‘Area Free Search’ for target item. Great way for earning some food. #ttcanines #scentwork #nosework #search #staypositive #engagement #believeintheprocess #dogtraining #commitment #dogs #
Ruby
Ruby had an introduction to the gang all at once yesterday. She has met them all individually over the time Iv had her so far, so it was time to introduce her to a little more high energy interactions, and she coped well. #ttcanines #staypositive #engagement #believeintheprocess #dogadoption #dogtraining #commitment #dogs #consistency #rehab
