[quote=Anonymous]It is very, very hard to "cure". I have become very adept at managing it to where it is second nature to cross the street or walk up a driveway and stuff cheese in her mouth, and it no longer raises my stress levels like it did early on. It's definitely improved too over the years, but it is not cured. We got to the point where if she sees a stimulus coming she turns her head to look at me and ask for treats instead of defaulting to lunging and barking, but if i don't have treats on me I have about 10 seconds to get the hell out of dodge before she loses her brain. My girl is leash reactive (absolutely fine when off leash, not so much as a bark or head turn). She is 16 now. When she started to go deaf at 14 it really lessoned the reactivity because she didn't have as long to ramp up to stimuli.[/quote]
