Probably THE MOST common type of behavior problem I see in dogs: Reactivity/Aggression/Bullying due to insecurity and too much free attention and affection given at the wrong times. I am never surprised when I pull a dog away from their owner and they completely change like this. It’s a revelation and a dead giveaway as to what the root cause of the issue is: Insecurity, lack of understanding, no confidence, no leadership. Why do they instantly change? Because being pulled away from their “power source” and having to be alone with the person or thing they so desperately want to go away is THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what they are trying to achieve. You can almost see the “oh crap” look on their faces as they try to figure out what the heck is happening, and try to get back to their comfort zone (with their owner) So what’s the solution? ✅ Build real confidence by encouraging investigation and curiosity (meeting the right people and dogs) ✅ Use obedience as a way to create consistency and predictability in certain situations ✅ Attention and affection given at the right times (learn to earn) ✅ Implement meaningful corrections to discourage aggressive/bullying behavior (clear rules and boundaries) #dogpsychology #aggressivedog #dogaggression #dogbehaviormodification #dogbehavior #dogreactivity #reactivedog #balanceddogtrainer Are you dealing with a reactive dog??👇🏽
