Dogs are the most social animals on the planet, second only to humans in their ability to read and understand emotion.

Living with a reactive dog can accidently create a reactive person and a cycle of negative experiences begin. There is an answer though! With understanding comes positive change. It might not have always been this way; perhaps walking once triggered positive emotion.

We, too, could have felt scared, then that fear grew over the next few walks, until we felt it the moment we saw another dog in the distance.
