Manage Triggers to Mitigate Recurrences

Overcoming behavioral issues in dogs is akin to human struggles with challenges; while improvement can occur, complete resolution is unlikely. The main goal is to reduce triggers that elicit undesirable behaviors. Even after successful rehabilitation, if a dog encounters previous triggering situations, the likelihood of these behaviors resurfacing increases. It is essential for new owners to understand the dog's past issues and implement measures to avoid situations that could reignite those behaviors, ensuring a preventative approach to managing potential recurrences.
