Aggression vs. Reactivity

Aggression vs. Reactivity 

This week, Jess and Scott discuss the difference between aggression and reactivity. The two terms seem to commonly get tossed around as synonyms, but Scott and Jess don’t believe this to be the case after years in the field. Listen in for broader understanding of both topics.

What do Scott and Jess define both aggression and reactivity to be?

When should you consider your dog to be aggressive? 

Should euthanasia be a consideration in either situation?

“Fully Trained” Puppies

This week, Jess and Scott discuss a fairly new and pretty hot topic, which is buying a puppy that is already “fully trained.” This trend has been increasing throughout the past decade, and many families are spending 10K plus on a 4–6-month-old puppy!

What are the pros and cons of going this direction when adding a new dog?

How much can one reasonably expect out of a 4–6-month-old puppy? 

Why might training not transfer as well in some of these programs?
