HUMAN FEARFUL/REACTIVE PROGRAM

This Program is a specialized environment designed to support dogs that experience fear or anxiety around people. This program provides a safe, nurturing space where dogs can gradually acclimate to human interactions at their own pace.

Human-reactive dogs show noticeable emotional or behavioral responses—like barking, growling, lunging, hiding, or even freezing—when they're around unfamiliar people or during interactions that make them uncomfortable. This reactivity can be rooted in:

Fear or anxiety (often due to past trauma or lack of socialization)
Protectiveness or territorial instincts
Frustration or overstimulation
Negative past experiences with humans

The key with these dogs is understanding their triggers, managing their environment to avoid overwhelming situations, and using positive reinforcement training to help them feel safer and more confident over time.

When categorizing human-reactive dogs, levels can be defined based on the intensity of their reactions. Here are some common levels:

1. *Level 1 - Curious: Shows interest in humans but may bark, whine, or want to approach. No aggressive behavior.

2. *Level 2 - Mildly Reactive:- Barks or lunges while on a leash but can be redirected. Displays excitement or nervousness without aggression.

3. *Level 3 - Moderately Reactive:- Heightened barking, pulling on the leash, or growling. May show signs of fear or anxiety but not actual aggression.

4. *Level 4 - Highly Reactive:-Strong reactions, including barking, lunging, or snapping. This level may involve fear-based aggression triggered by the presence of humans.
