Joanne~Spud * replied to Sarah R's discussion Reactive Doodles in the group IS A DOODLE FOR YOU?"I love the sign idea. Doodle knows the guests do not want to listen to us. I'll hang the sign on the OUTSIDE of the door.
I still do not know how to handle biting people in the butt. Sneaky Butt Bitting. :) Maybe I am posting this in the wrong…"
Jenny Jackson replied to Sarah R's discussion Reactive Doodles in the group IS A DOODLE FOR YOU?"Hi all! Reactive doggies are upsetting, I know. Both our dogs used to make a fuss while on walks, when they saw other dogs or with Tessa, a squirrel! The best thing for us, (and they are a lot better now but we still practice it) is KEEP MOVING…"
Joanne~Spud * replied to Sarah R's discussion Reactive Doodles in the group IS A DOODLE FOR YOU?"So how do you all suggest this situations are handled. Praise, a firm NO, remove the dog, sit with the dog, leash the dog, etc???
Attacking house quests. We do place the dogs behind the kitchen gate. This way they can see the company, the company…"
Karen & Jack replied to Sarah R's discussion Reactive Doodles in the group IS A DOODLE FOR YOU?"Jack is extremely reactive to strange dogs on-leash.

I also tell people to ignore him (no touch, no talk, no eye contact!)... but people are terrible at following directions! He has a big bark that can be scary but he really only barks at people that make sudden moves, are wearing weird…"
Jenny Jackson replied to Sarah R's discussion Reactive Doodles in the group IS A DOODLE FOR YOU?"Hey Sarah!
Glad to hear you are making progress. It can be a frustrating problem to work out.
Tessa is a bit reserved with strangers, and sometimes when they approach she barks. It freaks some people out. I wish she was more civilized with intros!…"

Reactive Doodles
Hi everyone,Just wanted to start a topic for Reactive Doodle Owners. Doodles like any other dog can develop reactive problems. I have a male who is reactive to most dogs and some people. I think it is fear-based. We have been working with him for 2 of his past 3 year life to help him get over this.

Sarah R commented on Andy&Sharon(BoomerShaynaMariner)'s group DOODLES with SPECIAL NEEDS"Thanks Karen, He's doing okay but it is a slow process.
