All Dogs are Good Dogs Podcast

Apologies for the audio, this was recording live on Instagram outside! In this episode, we dive deep into extinguishing reactivity in dogs—specifically addressing the steps I take with owners and why I’ve shifted my approach over the years. Reactivity is much like addiction, where the behavior becomes highly reinforcing for the dog, making it harder to break the habit. I discuss why creating a "detox phase" is essential for reactive dogs, and how physical management, like crate training, can help stop the rehearsal of impulsive behaviors. We'll cover: Why reactivity is like addiction for dogs The importance of physical management in the early stages of training My shift from a hands-off to a more structured approach with crates The mistakes I’ve seen when clients avoid crate training and how it prolongs the behavior How to avoid allowing your dog to practice undesirable behaviors when you're not home If you’re struggling with a reactive dog, this episode will give you actionable steps to create long-term change, with minimal management needed down the road.

There are endless blog posts that do their best to persuade owners, dog lovers and even dog trainers that there is one methodology and approach to training. I wish it were that simple but unfortunately, it's not. Dog training isn't as binary as some might attempt to make it. It's not Positive Only Vs. Alpha theory. Dog training is a spectrum and should be tailored to dog, owner, environment and life style. That's the great thing about training and behavior modification for your dog, you have almost endless ways of teaching them behaviors you do want and limiting the behaviors you don't.
