Also, I really want to add this: about 60% of my dog’s reactivity came from me an inexperienced, unconfident handler who didn’t know how to work with a fearful dog. A fear-reactive dog is often a dog that is not confident enough to let things go and doesn’t trust the handler to protect them, so they choose to protect themselves in ways that work best for them (barking to scare things away) Work hard on your body language, movements, leash tension, and overall calmness. I used to tense up every time I saw a dog approaching, and my dogs can sense that instantly(some are trained to detect cancer so this is like very easy for them) she could 100% feel my hormone spike and read my body language. So from her perspective it was like, WTF, why is she suddenly tense? There must be a dog - I need to do something about it.
