Though reactivity and aggression are not the same thing, reactivity can often become aggression if it isn’t dealt with. That’s why it’s so important to get reactivity handled as soon as possible. You’ll know your dog is reactive when they overreact to normal situations, and they become overstimulated easily. They might act out by barking, lunging, or even growling. A healthy, well-balanced dog won’t care if another dog or person is walking down the other side of the street, but a reactive dog won’t be able to let it go. Reactivity can come from several factors, including improper training, fear, or even something as simple as a lack of socialization.
If you’re fighting reactivity right now, know that you don’t have to do it alone. Our team is knowledgeable, compassionate, and ready to take on the toughest cases. We start with identifying your dog’s triggers, then we create a battle plan (a personalized training program) that will safely, efficiently, and durably remove reactivity.
