We are a community for people that own reactive dogs! We support the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) approach to dog training.

The tips and advice here cannot replace a qualified certified trainer or veterinary behaviorist - if you are struggling please consider these resources for your dog.

Everyone is welcome. A reactive dog is not required to join, but please keep discussions and posts focused on dog reactivity.

Notice: This subreddit is not actively monitored, so the posts here are only a small subset of what exists on reddit.
