One of the biggest challenges for reactive dogs is what we call trigger stacking—when multiple stressful or exciting events build up over time until your dog is operating on a hair-trigger. A dog may seem fine with one barking dog, one loud noise, or one unexpected encounter, but when those experiences pile up, even a small trigger can result in a big reaction.
Our Reactive Dog Program helps owners understand the science behind trigger stacking, recognize early signs of stress, and develop practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and build emotional resilience. By helping dogs feel safer and more regulated, we can create lasting changes in their behaviour and confidence.
