Behavior tells us so much, it is about paying attention and taking note when to redirect.
Seeing something isn't the problem.
Losing everything else is.
Looking leaves room for everything else around them, including you.
Fixation doesn't.
The environment starts to get much, much smaller.
Your voice starts to disappear.
Food? Not much interest then either.
They are well and truly locked on.
And it can happen fast.
Their body becomes still.
Their eyes narrow or even widen and there's laser focus.
The neck can stretch forward and lengthen.
The mouth closes.
Your dog that was taking in the world around them is suddenly taking in just one thing.
That's the difference.
Fixation shuts everything else out.
