Most obedience training focuses on control.

Описание: Sit. Stay. Heel. Down.

And don't get me wrong—those skills matter.

But when your dog is REACTIVE, obedience training alone is like putting a band-aid on a broken bone.

Here's why:

Reactivity isn't a training problem. It's a nervous system problem.

Your dog isn't lunging at other dogs because they don't know "sit."

They're lunging because their brain is screaming DANGER and their body is doing what it's been wired to do: react.

Traditional training teaches WHAT to do. But your reactive dog needs to learn HOW TO FEEL.

How to feel safe when the doorbell rings. How to feel calm when another dog walks by. How to regulate their emotions instead of exploding.

That's not obedience. That's habit training. That's teaching your dog's brain to build new default patterns.

And that? That changes everything.

Comment REACTIVE if this is your dog.
