Ali explains that this argument is something that she doesn't believe it's the case, and that mammals, lizards and birds and animals of all kinds respond to positive reinforcement. So why would our dogs be any different?

What would be my process of introducing a fear reactive dog to a new person in their home?

When you have a dog with fear reactivity, it can be hard to know how to introduce them to people in your home.
In this episode, I answer Caicos' question from Instagram about how to introduce a fear reactive dog to a new guest in their home.
I discuss the benefits of keeping their guest informed, and then muzzle training their dog.
Breaking down the process is really important, and steps like
- Adding smells (a good trick is to take your guest's shoes off before they come over)
- Taking walks together
- Recognising where the dangers may be makes the process a lot easier!

Today, I'm talking about my dog who is startling out of sleep and showing aggression. Leisha asks for my opinion on whether she should adjust the dog's medication and train. I share my insight on what I suspect this may be, and that it's most likely centered in deafness or pain, but that I would strongly suggest you see a good vet.
I hope you enjoy!
