r/reactivedogs is a subreddit with 162k members. The community frequently discusses reactive dog, aggression, dog, training, and struggling, and they frequently recommend/review muzzle, harness, and harness recommendations, and the most common flair used is advice needed, vent, success stories, significant challenges, and discussion.
We are a community for people that own reactive dogs! We support the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) approach to dog training. The tips and advice here cannot replace a qualified certified trainer or veterinary behaviorist - if you are struggling please consider these resources for your dog. Everyone is welcome. A reactive dog is not required to join, but please keep discussions and posts focused on dog reactivity.
