Good questions

Before you begin.

Is my reactive dog aggressive?

Not necessarily. Reactive dogs overreact to triggers, but the causes vary. A professional can help you tell the difference.

Should I use a muzzle?

Possibly, for safety. A qualified trainer can teach a muzzle with treats so your dog accepts it.

Should I avoid dogs entirely?

Not forever. Plan controlled setups with a professional.

When should I see a vet?

If the reactivity is new or sudden, or the dog seems sore or unwell.
