Gabriel it hit me hard when you said your family dog is also reactive. I never thought I could reach someone else that shares the same sentiment and reality!
Thank you for the comment, I love your description of the frustration/love relationship we end up having with our reactive dogs.
Mine is reactive out of fear, so, it's really magical when we can play without interruptions, and I get to see his happiness.
Thank you again, this comment will live rent free in my head for a long time, my friend.
