Just last weekend I was at an event with my besties and two of us set up together, with all of our dogs joining us under our canopies. Initially, I made a big mistake adn assumed my young dog could handle sharing her space with the others, even in that very exciting environment. She seemed fine but it was apparent she was stressed when she had two reactions, one at each of my other dogs.

The stress of sharing her space, although she seemed to be fine, is what us dog trainers call a 'distance antecedent'. Others might call it trigger stacking. In essence, various things cause stress (good or bad stress) then a little thing that wouldn't normally be an issue is the straw that broke the camel's back adn we get a big, unexpected reaction.

When we are working with dogs who are reactive or who fight int eh home, it is important for us to identify and eliminate as many of these stressors as possible.

I hope to see you tomorrow at 4:30PM PST. Questions welcome!

Cheers!
