Jesse and Verena sit down with Suzanne Clothier of Relationship Center Training to discuss what's behind the label "reactive". "Reactive" has become a catch all term for dogs with big feelings these days, but what does it truly mean when we use it? We look at different kinds of reactivity all the while Suzanne reminds us to remember that each dog is a unique individual.

The shoutout goes out to Suzanne's wonderful work. For dog trainers, she has the upcoming course "Reactivity Repair Kit" (check this page for announcements). For dog guardians, she recommends "RCT Skills for the Reactive Dog" and her unmissable classic "The Auto Check In."
