Over Threshold, Under Threshold: Why It Matters


Listen Later

Does your dog seem fine one moment… and then suddenly react the next?

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most important concepts in dog training: over and under threshold.

Because behaviour doesn’t come out of nowhere—there’s always a build-up.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What “threshold” actually means
  • The difference between a dog that can learn vs a dog that is reacting
  • Why training doesn’t work when your dog is over threshold
  • How to spot the early signs before behaviour escalates
  • How to keep your dog in a state where they can succeed

If your dog struggles with reactivity, pulling, or ignoring cues in certain situations, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do instead.

Because the key to progress isn’t working through the reaction…

It’s working before it happens. 💛
