Reactivity and aggression in dogs: managing and treating: “while we’re quick to label many of the dog’s behaviors as aggressive, most dogs are simply reactive, in other words, they overreact to certain stimuli in the environment.. 3) keep your dog below threshold. the threshold is the distance where your dog begins his/her reaction to the trigger. once your dog is in a reactive state, s/he is not able to learn effectively, so keeping an appropriate distance so that your dog remains below threshold and able to work (follow commands and eat) is very important.. Working on reactivity is a very meaningful way to deepen your relationship with your dog and it just so happens there are a ton of great training approaches to help your dog learn to replace disproportionately reactive behavior with socially appropriate behavior..
Clicker training can be helpful as it allows you to reward your dog for calm, non-reactive behaviour - safer and nicer for both of you, more effective, and making it easier for you to adopt a calm and positive approach to problem solving.. Help your reactive dog become a good citizen pattern 4: heel forward, then change directions by turning 90°-180° and heel in the new direction. the exercises involving backwards movement are generally required for the more highly reactive dog and dogs earlier in their stages of training.. At any point if you feel your dog is beyond reactive, that he is truly dangerous or has bitten people or got in fights with other dogs, seek the help of a qualified professional in implementing the appropriate training program for your dogs problem..
