Understanding Dog Reactivity

An insecure dog might have more noticeable reactions when approached by strangers than any confident dog. A fearful, or unexperienced dog, might be the one to show aggression in social settings when too much pressure is applied or it might display a flight response when people try to approach it. On the other side of the spectrum a more confident dog might be comfortable around strangers and different social settings but this same dog might not tolerate any level of instability form other dogs around it. Confident dogs will absolutely confront anything that takes away their peace, and that also can be displayed as aggression.
