The best way to train your reactive dog is not to distract them, not to assert dominance, and definitely not punishing, correcting, or shouting at your dog. Reactive dog training methods based on distraction and redirection fail. Here’s why: Imagine luring your dog away with a cookie every time a person or dog comes too close… It’s not sustainable. Do you really want to distract your dog every single time you come across another person or dog? It won’t work every time. One day, you come across a hard trigger to avoid, you can’t distract your dog, and your dog has their usual reactive freakout of barking, growling, or lunging again… But what if I told you there is a positive dog training method that can actually make your dog less reactive in less than 10 minutes a day? And what if I told you that over 104,000 dog owners are successfully using this method? Hi, I’m Steffi Trott, the founder of SpiritDog Training. On September 25th, 2019, I launched my best-selling online dog training course called Tackling Reactivity. Since then, we’ve had over 104,000 SpiritDog Training students transform their reactive dogs into calm and focused dogs with my unique dog training method. Here’s how it works: Distraction doesn’t change the root cause of reactivity, which is negative emotions. Punishing, correcting, and shouting at your dog only reinforces negative emotions and makes your dog even more reactive. Imagine that you are scared of spiders. Now imagine that there are multiple big spiders crawling on your arms. (Ughhh) Now imagine someone tries to heal your fear of spiders by distracting you with a cookie and shouting at you to stop being so scared. Doesn’t work, right? If you are scared of spiders, having spiders on your arms is way too much. It’s just too much intensity to handle. You can’t train your brain when you are too stressed. You can’t train your dog when they are too stressed. So the first step to reactive dog training is management. You need to manage your dog’s environment to avoid intense, stressful situations. What you want to use is LITT: low intensity trigger training. You take a super low stress environment and build positive memories with your dog in that low stress environment. You lower your dog’s stress + you build positive memories with your dog. With short 5-10 minute training sessions, you can lower your dog’s stress instantly with my sniffing techniques + build associations between positive emotions and stressful environments. After 2-3 weeks, your dog will be able to handle more and more stressful environments and stay calm and relaxed in most situations.
