Managing your dog's behaviors can be an absolute life saver. Although it's not always easy, it does help your dog avoid unnecessary stress.

Very often, I see dog owners confusing arousal, reactivity, and aggression. Although they are linked to each other, they are all different.

Even though we can't change the fact that the dog is reacting to an outside source, we can change how the dog feels towards that trigger.

In the simplest of terms, impulse control is when a dog learns how to relax when they are frustrated and unable to get something they want.
