Safe Harbor Farm's SMILE! Project just uploaded their latest YouTube seminar - "K9 Behavior SKILL-Building: Reduce That Reactivity!"
(1 hr 25 min)
Positive, practical and proactive, it discusses 14 common situations where dogs may over-react:
(1) When new people approach
(2) When new dogs approach
(3) When people enter a dog's home territory
(4) When visitors come to the door
(5) When handheld dogs are passed between people
(6) When small dogs are picked up
(7) When skittish dogs haven't acclimated yet
(8) Submissive urinaters
(9) Cage sharks
(10) Owner-protective dogs
(11) Small dog volcanoes (the kind that erupt in your arms when someone or something approaches)
(12) Dogs who simply want more personal space
(13) Kenneled or crated dogs
(14) When people set their dogs up to be reactive unknowingly
