Having a dog as a companion can be very rewarding, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. Reactivity can be misinterpreted as your dog is showing aggression.

Behaviour is not a constant state: Changes in a dog’s environment and in wider circumstances can impact upon confidence and coping behaviour. Reactivity, obsessive or compulsive behaviour to name just a few are means of communication. It’s important as an owner/caregiver to be able to support your dog through these challenges and to strengthen his and your coping strategies.
