“You’re just avoiding it" 🙄
Yes and no.
What we are avoiding is escalation.

Or if they’re already in a full verbal reaction, we are avoiding keeping them there for a second longer than necessary.

But we have to remember something really important here.

Dogs are often reacting long before we hear barking, growling or lunging.

They fixate.
Their movement changes.
The body slows and stiffens.
Breathing changes.
They can posture.
Their nervous system is already shifting.

That stronger reaction we see?
It’s often the final stage, not the beginning.

The U turn is not about pretending the trigger does not exist.
It is about recognising emotional change earlier and responding before the dog fully tips over threshold.

Distance changes behaviour.

As distance increases you will often see
• softer body language
• reduced fixation
• quicker disengagement
• less emotional intensity

And above all else, it teaches you to observe.

You begin noticing the tiny changes before the explosion happens and you start recognising patterns.
You begin trusting that your dog’s body language is giving you information, constantly.
Way before the barks.
