Leash Reactivity Training in Denver, CO
What Is Leash Reactivity?
Leash reactivity shows up as barking, lunging, growling, or intense pulling when another animal, person, or object passes. In busy Denver neighborhoods, those triggers are everywhere — narrow sidewalks, apartment buildings, and crowded parks.
If walks are feeling tense or unpredictable, you’re not alone.
Why Do Dogs Become Reactive on Leashes?
Reactivity isn’t dominance. It’s usually rooted in frustration, fear, overstimulation, lack of clear structure, or inconsistent communication.
Without calm leadership, dogs escalate quickly. And once that pattern builds, it feels impossible to interrupt.
Reactivity vs. Aggression
Many Denver dog owners confuse leash reactivity with aggression.
I have good news! True aggression is rare. Most reactive behavior is rooted in overstimulation and unclear leadership — and it can absolutely improve with the right structure and support.
