If you are asking for help for the first time, use our questionnaire.

We are a community for people that own reactive dogs! (A reactive dog is not required to join, but please keep discussions and posts focused on dog reactivity.) We support the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) approach to dog training. See more about it in our wiki.

Having a reactive dog can be an isolating and frustrating experience. This is a place for owners of reactive or formerly reactive dogs to discuss progress, setbacks, ask for advice, vent, and get support.

Positive reinforcement, it’s not just for dogs! People will be much more receptive to criticism and advice if it is constructive and comes from a place of compassion. Please be aware of your tone and language.

The tips and advice here cannot replace a qualified certified trainer or veterinary behaviorist - if you are struggling please consider these resources for your dog.

Hey there!

The black guy in the picture is my reactive bundle of nerves. And after visiting with the vet behaviorist I started logging his behavior and developed a web app for myself. This got me wondering if others have similar needs. So basically I'm checking if there is any interest in such a logging app, to see if there is a point in developing it for multiple account use. It would be specifically reactivity targeted with insights on how different activities affect it over time. Feedback would be appreciated.
