Leash reactivity mistake #4: the arousal blind spot.

Below is a brief excerpt from the full article. Link to the full post is in the comments.

"The problem is that arousal isn't a behavior a dog can easily connect to a consequence. It's a state. Most people struggle to notice in the moment when they're getting worked up themselves. Asking a dog to make that same connection, that a correction is happening because of how I'm feeling rather than because of something I did, is asking for a level of self-awareness that isn't reasonable to expect. However, many trainers will initially disagree with me here because they will say that they've seen these corrections work.

What actually happens after one of these corrections is usually something else entirely. The dog gets more cautious. Trainers read that caution as success: the dog seems calmer, less reactive, problem solved. But I think what's really happening is uncertainty. The dog experienced something aversive and doesn't understand why. Uncertainty produces caution on its own, independent of whether the dog has learned anything about arousal.

And that caution doesn't hold. If the dog becomes more cautious, they trigger fewer corrections. Fewer corrections mean the uncertainty that was driving the caution starts to fade. And once it fades, you're right back where you started, a dog with the same underlying arousal problem you began with. It's a short-lived false positive, not real progress, and trainers who lean on this method often end up repeating the same correction indefinitely because it never solves the problem in a lasting way."

New peer-reviewed, randomized, placebo-controlled research shows that dogs with aggression, social anxiety, or separation anxiety given the probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP815 experienced significant behavioral improvements in just 4 weeks. Owners reported their dogs settled faster when left alone, slept and woke more consistently, maintained steadier daily activity, and were slightly less active overall, but in a calm, alert way rather than appearing sedated.

Why LP815 is different? This next-generation probiotic naturally produces GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter that helps calm the nervous system by regulating nerve activity. Unlike traditional calming supplements, LP815 works through the gut–brain axis to support more lasting, natural calming effects.

LP815 clinical results in dogs (after 4 weeks):
• Reduced fear- and noise-related aggression
• More restful, consistent sleep
• Improved mood and reduced reactivity
• Better energy and emotional balance
• Faster settling after owner departure

That’s why when developed her one-of-a-kind canine probiotic, she included Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP815™ in PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™ : a science-driven approach to rebuilding and maintaining your dog’s microbiome using strains inspired by wild canids, healthy domestic dogs, and living soil.

We had so much fun making this video!
Putter was unfortunately fired from his position shortly after being hired on due to licking customers faces, taking unscheduled sniff breaks, and sneaking treats without paying...🤣
