Him being uncomfortable is completely normal for a reactive dog!! He is in the avoidance stage which is right before the acceptance stage. Avoidance is okay, it just means you got past the reactive stage🙌

Him being uncomfortable is a normal reaction! It’s a new environment and he has never had someone who has control over him and the environment like that, and I’m sure he is nervous not being able to react to things the way he wants to. It looks like he is doing well with that other dog too!

Everyone commenting abt his body language like mister man is BUILDING A NEW MUSCLE he probably is a little uncomfy!!!!!! He didn’t even slightly flinch to the trainers touch, and I don’t think negative reinforcement training would be effective on a reactive dog. So happy for you and your pup!!!!❤️❤️

Can you please update us if this training works when they get home? I’m worried they will only listen to the one that trained them :/

I owner trained my reactive dog (ahem,flat collar and lead and harness,nothing else apart from treats) and he was like this for months,as if a dog is reactive due to anxiety, what do you expect? anxiety doesnt change overnight.

I think some people forget you would be fearful/apprehensive in an unfamiliar situation too, and that some discomfort is good for improvement! he’s making friends which is so good he looks super happy with them!

Whatever you want :
Dogs are allowed to feel their feelings (uncomfy) but he’s learning he can feel them without jumping to a reaction. The trainer is dong a good job at keeping him under threshold. 🥰

As someone with a reactive puppy, you don’t understand how calm this is. Yes the baby is still stressed, but she’s not shaking or unmanageably pulling. I have one amazingly social dog and one reactive and the amount of training we do and we still can’t even get to this level

Ignore the comments. Every living being on this earth, especially dogs (and humans!) have to realize that they cannot be comfortable 100% of the time. You’re doing great

They really nailed the ”Don’t react and be afraid of the environment ~be afraid of me instead”🫠🤦‍♀️

So excited for you both! Reactive —> avoidance —> acceptance. When the reactivity is no longer acceptable + providing alternative options (engaging handler for reward/play etc) that’s where self regulation starts to click. It’s natural the dog is going to be a kinda uncomfy with the triggers they used to explode at, but they need the exposure therapy or else they’ll just be stuck. Balanced training is fantastic. (Coming from someone who used to be positive only, learned it isn’t realistic for behavior mod, and adjusted and continued to learn)🥰

Being uncomfortable is normal. Looking stressed due to suppression is not. If you know dogs well enough you can tell the difference. the way the dog was watching the other dog but didn’t react.. yea. The dog emotional state has not change.
