Does your dog seem fine one moment… and then suddenly react the next?In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most important concepts in dog training: over and under threshold.Because behaviour doesn’t come out of nowhere—there’s always a build-up.Inside this episode, you’ll learn:What “threshold” actually meansThe difference between a dog that can learn vs a dog that is reactingWhy training doesn’t work when your dog is over thresholdHow to spot the early signs before behaviour escalatesHow to keep your dog in a state where they can succeedIf your dog struggles with reactivity, pulling, or ignoring cues in certain situations, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do instead.Because the key to progress isn’t working through the reaction…It’s working before it happens. 💛
