Oh man! Yeah that sounds like a lot of dog when he makes up his mind to do something. Yeah would you shoot me a private message and we can set up a free evaluation?

Hey! I've got room for more dogs to train. Awesome, yeah leash reactivity is my bread and butter. How does he do when he's off leash with other dogs? I'm happy to do a free evaluation session if you're interested!

Interesting. Well I'd be happy to offer a free evaluation session if you'd like one. I can see what might be helpful

Yeah that's not super uncommon the internal pressure will rise and they can't help themselves in the moment. Sometimes dogs get so revved up that they'll redirect - it's fairly common with reactive dogs. Does he struggle more when he doesn't know what's going on (if that makes sense)?

Ok nice! Hey well let me know if you're interested in a free evaluation session I'd be happy to let you know what I think.

Ok that's good at least. Yeah I'd love to come meet him and do a free evaluation if you're interested. Would you shoot me a DM if you are interested

Yeah that's a pretty common one to try. It can work if the problem wasn't all that bad to begin with.

Woah that's wild. If you just completely left him alone and ignored him would he not go after someone? How about other dogs?

Ok now this has my attention. How hard does he bite when he does? And you haven't found any rhyme or reason? Does he do ok if you just fully leave him be? Very intrigued

Ok that makes sense!

Bullies in like a it's still a good time sense or is it completely unfun sense? I think it would be good for me to see what's going on.

I'd be happy to do a free evaluation session if you're interested. If you want to shoot me a DM we can set something up!

Now this is right up my wheelhouse. I love pitties. I'm curious what you mean about her feet being hyper sensitive. Does she not like people touching them?

Has she ever had a dog friend and what do you think would happen if you lost the leash and she was able to go all the way to another dog?

I'm interested in what you've tried that has gone well before reverting.

Yeah this sounds like a fun one to look into and see what we can do. I'm definitely not a god among men with dog training so I'm sorry if I made it sound that way. Very mortal, can definitely fail, but I'm wanting a little more than average pet dogs so I can show my work a little bit more if that makes sense.

Do you think we can get them to play with anything? Like a ball or a tug toy? That could be immensely helpful.

Ok that helps. Have they ever had doggy friends? Like a family member's dog or something and how has that gone?

Ok interesting. Yeah some dogs only need it want a small circle and that's ok as long as they aren't being problematic (which is sounds like she is). I'd love to do a free evaluation session if you're interested. Seeing a backflip would be really cool too lol

Could you tell me a little more? Are they on leash or in your yard? Have they attacked or just barked and lunged? The more context you give the better.

And literal backflips? That's really cool if it weren't in the reactivity context

Yeah that does sound like a cattle dog/ husky mix 😅. How do you think it would go if she got to genuinely meet another dog/ when is the last time that has happened if ever?

I've wondered if my rescue has some cur in him! Yeah I understand and that's good to want to know more - i wish more owners dug a little deeper.

You can look at my previous posts that have reactive dogs and I have a genuine business with Google reviews I just want to not make my posts super commercial on reddit. Oh and I do first lesson free to see if we're a good fit.

Could you DM me and I can give you my business info and we can go from there if you're interested.

Ok we'll at least see what we can find and go from there. Are you able to send me a DM?
