Your dog barks, lunges and growls at strangers or other dogs. Is he reactive, protective or aggressive? Most owners pick the wrong label, and the label decides what you do next. In many cases the dog is not dominant or brave. He's insecure, and he learned that a big reaction makes people go away.
In this video I explain the real difference between reactive, protective and aggressive, why the wrong label leads to the wrong training, why badly timed corrections can make a scared dog worse, and how to film your dog so you can see what's really going on.
