9. Understanding Reactive, Fearful or Aggressive Dogs

33 minutes

Reactive, fearful or aggressive dogs cause a lot of stress to their owners and the people around them. It's hard for dog owners to understand what is going on with their dog, and are often desperate for help when their dog is reactive, fearful or aggressive.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to these issues because every situation is different - the causes can be complex and multi-layered. It’s not always clear what approach will work best for your dog's specific needs.

This weeks podcast episode provides a chance to learn from an experienced professional. LWDG Featured Expert Helena Woodfield explains common causes behind reactivity in dogs and how she approaches these cases so you can decide if it might be helpful to you too!
