Reactive Dog Owner Shoots Dirty Looks At A Guy Riding Hoverboard At The Dog Park

Walking your dog should be an enjoyable experience, but when you have a reactive canine, things can get challenging. Reactive dogs tend to overreact to common everyday stimuli that other dogs might ignore, leading to hysterical barking or other anxious behaviors. While not all reactive dogs are inherently aggressive, there is a risk that aggression can develop if the reactivity is not managed properly. This makes training a critical aspect of handling a reactive dog. Identifying the specific triggers that cause your dog's intense reactions is the first step in addressing the issue. Anything that serves as a stimulus to provoke a strong response from your dog can be considered a trigger.

In today's story, OP, a reactive dog owner, asked if he was wrong for getting mad at a dude with a hoverboard, which was seen as a trigger for his dog. The guy refused to take OP's advice that the dog park was not the best place for riding a hoverboard. Scroll down to read the full story!

Specially a dog park.
