Dog-to-dog reactivity refers to a dog's exaggerated response to other dogs, often manifesting as barking, lunging, or aggressive behavior. This behavior can stem from various factors, including fear, frustration, or lack of socialization. It's essential for dog owners to address reactivity early on through proper training and socialization techniques.
Positive reinforcement methods, along with desensitization and counter-conditioning, can help dogs learn to remain calm and relaxed in the presence of other dogs. Professional guidance from a certified dog trainer or behaviorist may be necessary for severe cases of reactivity to ensure both the safety of the dog and the well-being of others.
