Reactive Dog Training | The Key to REAL Behavior Change

If you want to stop your dog’s reactive behavior, you need to break it down to its simplest form:

🚨 Reactivity = An exaggerated response to stress 🚨

Just like humans turn to habits like smoking as a coping mechanism, dogs develop less-than-ideal behaviors to handle stress. So how do we truly create change?

Two Approaches to Behavior Change:
1️⃣ Management & Training – Using tools (like gum for a smoker) to manage the behavior while building new habits.
2️⃣ Deep Change & Reprogramming – Addressing the core motivator behind the behavior to create lasting neurological change.

Want real, lasting change? Don’t just manage—get to the root of the behavior and build a response that meets your dog’s needs in a way that works in the human world.

(But know that management is an important part, too!)
