Having a Reactive Dog is hard. Most owners I speak to feel they have failed their Dog when they have resorted to a muzzle. For me with Dogs with a bite history this is sensible. Reducing bite risk and protecting other people and Dogs. The aim is always to take the muzzle away and help the Dog to become non reactive. It's frustrating and hard work having a reactive Dog. It can limit walk choices and going on holiday with the Dog. So many owners become sad and despondent with this. But to the owners who carry on and have carried on. Well done to you for not giving up. Another thing that makes the situation worse is when people don't listen when the owners say my Dog needs space. Please respect someone when they tell you this. They are not being an arse. They are trying to train their Dog and help their Dog. Please don't think because you've seen stuff on TV you know everything because you don't. Your behaviour can result in a bite whether it be you or your own Dog and the Dog having to become muzzled when out in Public by law. Which isn't fair. If you see yellow on a Dog. Or the owner tells you "They need space" please just move along and leave them alone 🐶
