It's exhausting.
I know everyone just wants that one thing that makes it stop.
The answer that everyone else seems to know.
That one tip.
The missing technique.
The secret.
Reactivity is one of the most challenging behaviours a dog can have.
It will test your patience, your timing and your consistency, time and time again.
Above all else, that's what it requires.
Consistency.
"Sometimes" is a big problem with reactive dogs.
Sometimes we reward.
Sometimes we don't.
Sometimes we move away.
Sometimes we don't.
Sometimes we have a plan.
Sometimes we don't.
And that can keep both you and your dog stuck in that never-ending trigger/reaction cycle.
So why does a checklist help?
Because preparation matters.
And that prep work doesn't happen when you're standing in front of a trigger.
That's where you're putting all that practice into action.
The skills.
The rewards.
The timing.
The plan.
That's the reality of living with a reactive dog.
You need a plan before you need the plan.
