Body Language Beyond the Lip Lick: Context, Contingencies & What Behaviour Really Tells Us Live Online Webinar: Sunday 8th ...

22/04/2025

Reactivity isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a label.

If you’ve been told your dog is “reactive,” that’s not the full picture. It just means a dog has big, unwanted responses to things—like barking, lunging, spinning, freezing, or growling. But it doesn’t tell you why the dog is doing it.

And without understanding why, it’s easy to get stuck.

In herding breeds, the “why” often ties back to what these dogs were bred to do: notice and control movement. When that’s mixed with frustration, fear, or a lack of coping skills, we get the behaviours people call “reactivity.”

Some common patterns in herding breeds:

-Fixating on movement like dogs, people, or vehicles
-Struggling to disengage once they’re locked in
-Escalating quickly
-Feeling unsure or unsafe with unfamiliar people or dogs
-Difficulty recovering after a reaction
-Hard to find a suitable distance from a trigger

A dog spinning or lunging on leash isn’t trying to give you a hard time. They’re having a hard time. And herding breeds often get labelled “reactive” without much thought to how or why that behaviour developed.

In this webinar, I go into:

-What reactivity really is (and isn’t)
-How herding dog behaviour and breeding history shape what we see
-How to start helping, even if your dog’s behaviour feels out of control

Whether you’re living with a dog who’s already struggling or you’re hoping to prevent problems in a younger dog, this webinar will give you the foundation you need.

THE WEBINAR WILL BE RECORDED FOR THOSE UNABLE TO ATTEND LIVE!

Join me on Thursday, May 1st at 10:00am Pacific.

The webinar is 1 hour long and followed by a Q&A.
