Fight Flight or
Freeze Fido

• Counter-conditioning and desensitization

  Change your dog's reaction to a trigger by associating it with something positive. For example, if your dog sees another dog, you can give them a treat. With consistent training, your dog will eventually look to you for a treat when they see another dog.

• Avoid triggering situations

  Try to avoid situations that emotionally arouse your dog, like walking at night or going to a busy park.

• Practice management

  Make sure your dog gets enough rest and sleep to unload stress. You can also try calm, slow walking.

• Learn to read body language

  Look for subtle signs that your dog's emotions are shifting, like lip-licking or pinning back their ears. If you catch these signs, you can intervene before your dog becomes reactive.
