Is your dog hitting the roof at the sight of another dog, a passing car, or an unexpected sound? You're not alone. In this mini-series, we're pulling back the curtain on canine reactivity - exploring…
Max O'NeilHostJack LaurenceHostWe have spoken about reactivity in the past, but today we kind of want to kick off like this little mini series because reactivity is basically, would you say, the biggest topic when it comes to our dogs.

Number one, where we are in Australia is a very highly populated and very dense area, the Gold Coast.

You know, when we can find them on the leash, expose them to a lot of dogs, it can lead to a lot of stuff.

And number three, you know, unfortunately people have had a lot of bad socialization experiences where that's not getting their dog out soon enough or whether that's our dog, you know, having a negative experience with another dog.

So it's something that I personally specialize in and I find really rewarding to work with.

So we want to try and disseminate some good, helpful information all for free so that you guys are armed with the best possible knowledge.

And, you know, when you're going into your training session, whether that's on your own or with another trainer, you're armed with the right knowledge so you can know what to do in certain situations.

So we're going to do a little mini series on various topics that I find pretty helpful with reactivity.
So if people obviously can get some tips from what we're going to be talking about over the next few episodes, but if they need more detailed help and advice, you've obviously recently released your Reactivity Rewire program.
Yeah, sponsored by.
