Training ideas during lock down is now the new norm for now which means we need to evolve. No one we know saw this coming, it’s the stupidest thing and it’s very serious.

What is even more serious during this lock down process is how it will effect peoples lives and businesses. Not to mention the impact it’s already having on mental health.

So the lock down means change to our life and to our income. Fortunately we have access to the internet and we can still be somewhat social.

To many people, it’s a lifestyle they are sadly familiar with. Staring at their phone all day, living inside, being anti social. They can now live their best life without judgement.

For the rest of us, adaptation is the key. Get used to it and gear up for change.

Living with a reactive dog can be difficult and for some, upsetting. When most people think of reactivity, they are immediately drawn to aggression.

Reactivity is beyond the scope of just aggression as it is really about how any species responds to stimuli. For example, you may have a dog that is very quiet normally, except when a cat is present. In this example, the focus is now on predatory drive rather than that of fear based aggression.

Many forms of reactivity are associated with frustration and sometimes the end result is different than initially believed.

A reactive dog draws a lot of attention to itself and the owner which is where the emotions come into play. They are more than likely to be avoided and excluded from social play. Many times this is the best outcome as these dogs can be aggressive.

In any event, if you are living with a reactive dog, you should be seeking advise from a creditable behaviour expert.

Their assessment and advise can often correct the behavioural pathway and improve the relationship between you and the dog.
