Pod to the Rescue

Understanding Dog Reactivity with Renée Erdman


Listen Later

Dog reactivity is one of the most challenging behavior issues we face in dog rescue, but there is hope for reactive dogs! We’ve helped lots of reactive foster and rescue dogs over the years, and so has Renée Erdman of Bravo Dog Behavioral Health. In this episode, we sit down to talk about reactivity: what it is, what it isn’t, and how to help your dog.

🐶 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • What is reactivity in dogs?

  • How is it different from aggression in dogs?

  • Why we often label this as “leash reactivity”

  • How to help your dog’s underlying emotions that lead to reactive behavior

  • Which types of training don’t work

    • Why our dogs aren’t damaged — and that there is help for reactivity!
