Active vs Reactive Dogs in Protection Training
Add to Favorites
In this video, Ed Frawley shares a clip from a lecture by Michael Ellis. Michael talks about what an operant or active dog is compared to a reactive dog. Active dogs are very forward-thinking and try to anticipate what behaviors you will ask for. Reactive dogs will react to what the handler or helper is doing.

When people have specific training questions we recommend that they go to our website and post those questions in the ASK CINDY on the front page of leerburg.com. Cindy has been training dogs since she was a teenager and has competed in several dog sports at a regional and national level. She was also a vet tech and owned a boarding/training and grooming business for many years as well as breeding working Dobermans and Belgian Malinois under the kennel name Kaiserhaus.
Questions posted to ASK CINDY are answered almost every day. They are also recorded in our systems if a dog owner has additional questions Cindy will review the previous Q&As and this helps her give better feedback and assistance.
