it can indeed be embarrassing and stressful if your four-legged friends or plunge -- lunges or badges at other animals on the lsh. becca is here from the rescue alliance to learn about reactive dogs and what could be done to prevent it and fix it. thanks for joining us today. >> thanks for having us. >> before we get to reactive dogs, tem us about sophie. >> so i have one of my favorites right now sophie. she is recently with us from our transfer in program available at our oglesberg location and she's so friendly with friends off leash and she's one of the regulars but will barkf ofe leash. >> so she is about 4 years old. >> we think soirks and up to date onn her shots. >> spayed and microchipped. >> i've had dogs my ole life and through no difference in training or raising, some have

been reactive and some are haven't and i wonder what is the best cure for the problem? >> i think the firstdo thing to is make sure you are reading it appropriately. people assume that reactivity means the dog is aggressive and that could sometimes trickle into it but it is justo ne. we're just a reaction. dogs are doing it out ofnxiety or fear or discomfort or treading the line between discomfort and i see that thing and it will make me feel a certain way and i'll be wild about it. >> what can you do as a owner to prevent the dogm f cesar milan will say red zone case and keep them in the green zone. >> i think walking with high value treats is important. rewarding the dog as sooeas thy see the trigger before they start reacting but never undervalue the importance of just creating space.ou turn ar and walk in the opposite direction is just as rewarding to a dogspecially if they are fearful reactive dog giving them a treat. often times they are saying, hey, i see you over there, don't

make me come over there i don't want to come over ther t >> sore is a difference between afid and aggressive, too. >> exactly. so the reactive again is just an obvious reaction to a trigger. and a lot of the times we see thattowards other dogs and could get tough in d.c. because it is such a dog-friendly city and when we're out in the summed with ours doing stuff, if you have an active dog that could be hard. >> absolutely. so maybe what -- is there a o piece equipment like sophie is wearing a harness. does that help? >> yes. and we typically recommend a ssont clip harne this is an easy walk brand and i personally use a freedom harness for my reactive dog. recommend that because it is better center of gravity attachment and redirect them toward you and comfortable for them. wen't recommend anything that will be painful like a prong or shock collar. hat might be helpful in stopping the reaction in the moment and that hurts and it doesn't teach them anything new. so we recommend using

appropriate front clip or a martin gale collar for your reactive dog. >> and i tell people meeting my dogs and i say yes, they are iendly. but they are mirror, if you bring a fearful energy to a dog they get very reactive automatically. >> sure. and sometes the reactivity comes from just i've been out and about in a busy city and i'm now overstimulated and it is important to remember that if you have friends with dogs on leash regardless and it is not fun if a strange dog wanders up to them and so keep your dog on a leash and be respective of other dog ownerven if your dog is friendly. >> good advice there. to see sophie or any other animals at humanerescuealliance.org. >> a lot to do this weekend. something old is new again on the water front in alexandria. people are horsind arou in maryland and it will be music to your ears in the district.
