Reactive behavior in dogs, like barking, lunging, or growling, often comes from fear, frustration, or overstimulation.
đ One of the most effective ways to handle reactivity is by staying calm and confident yourself.
Dogs are highly attuned to your energy, so if you remain relaxed, your dog is more likely to follow suit.
Keep your body steady, your voice calm, and your movements controlled to help de-escalate the situation. Your composure can make all the difference in managing reactive behavior. â

Dean was the kid who brought home the strays he found in the neighborhood and had a variety of pets growing up from mice, gerbils, fish, cats, dogs and always knew he had an affinity towards animals and a natural ability to connect with them. That connection continued throughout his life with many of his own dogs which included chow chows, a lab and several bichons.
During his 24-year sales career Dean volunteered at local shelters to walk and bathe dogs and assisted several rescues with adoption and fundraising events, fostering and transports. After a moment of clarity Dean decided to pursue his passion with animals as a dog trainer.
He attributes he connection with animals to his solid spiritual practice of daily prayer and meditation which garners him a strong intuition of what is going on with the animal. His friends are amazed at how animals naturally gravitate to him as if theyâve known him forever. Even the most fearful and threatened animals feel his sense of calm and tranquility. He has the uncanny ability to get dogs to do whatever needs to be done.
Dean is a practitioner in several different healing modalities which he uses in his work with dogs and has seen some amazing results! On a spiritual path for over 30 years Dean has learned and incorporated many of the lessons on his journey with his work with dogs. He believes his strength as a dog trainer includes connecting to the animals through kindness and compassion at a soul level.
Dean has a B.A. in Psychology from Loyola University where he had a rat and utilized Skinnerian Operant Condition and Classical Conditioning training for one of his lab projects. He is currently sitting for his CPDT-KA exam in September and has already completed the Karen Pryor Foundations course and Susan Smith Learning Theory course and is Animal First Aid and CPR certified. He is a Professional member of with the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and a Supporting Member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC). As of recent he was the VP on the Board of a Low Cost Spay & Neuter organization assisting with fundraising and events. He is very active at his local shelter walking and bathing dogs as well as co-teaching the free dog training classes offered at the shelter for people who have adopted from there. He is part of a local training group as a student teacher to continue his knowledge in the dog training field. He has his own online pet apparel products business that he runs part-time called ZodiacDog.com, which includes boutique leashes, collars, harnesses and custom-made dog bowls. The tag line is âA Fun Way to Celebrate Your Pets Personality.â
On any given day you can find Dean with his Bichon Louie whether it is on a walk by the river, at the beach, at the dog park, or doing volunteer work at the shelter. He enjoys helping friends and neighbors with their dogs, teaching obedience or dog sitting/walking or whatever is needed as long as there is a dog involved!
To sum up, if youâre at a party and donât see Dean, go find out where the dogs are and thatâs where heâll be!
