Fearful And Reactive Dogs 101

Reactivity is when a dog overreacts to things in its environment. These reactions can include barking, lunging, and growling. However, these reactions do not make a dog "aggressive." Reactivity is not uncommon in dogs. It may stem from the dog's genetic make-up or could be from a lack of social experience or a particularly scary experience.
