[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We adopted a rescue at about 3 years old. He is very reactionary and unpredictable with other dogs. We don’t take him to the dog park because we’re concerned about safety for the other dogs. OP you are very judgy and you don’t know every dog’s story.[/quote] I'm not OP but I'm another poster who appreciates dog parks. Do you not see that part of your dog's reactivity is likely because he was never socialized properly? [/quote] Dog trainer: 90% of it is genetics. If you think of reactivity as a continuum, dogs are born at a certain location. You can move 10% towards friendlier/more reactive with training, and you can absolutely jump 50 pegs down with a terrible experience, but in general the dog's temperament is genetics. Going to a dog park would absolutely not make a scared dog (most reactive dogs are fearful) more confident.[/quote]
