This super sweet girl is Stella.
Stella has had some negative experiences with other dogs which has resulted in some reactive behaviour when she sees them in her environment.

Quite often when dogs are fearful of something, they will display behaviours in an attempt to create space between them and the thing they are fearful of. These are most commonly seen as "reactive" behaviours (such as barking, lunging and growling). When the dog displays these behaviours and it achieves their goal of creating space, the behaviours are reinforced and strengthened and can become more intense with time.

There are many different approaches to working with and modifying reactivity and the process is individual to each dog.
Stella's amazing family are working on activities that will ultimately:
➡️ help her to feel safe around other dogs
➡️ create new associations so she starts to feel more positive (rather than fearful) when she sees other dogs
➡️ replace the reactive behaviours with more desirable ones
