Just curious, but how do you get a dog to grow their confidence? I don’t want my dog to be fearful/reactive.

That really depends on the environments where she doesn’t feel that way.

But if you mean in general, it’s no different than building in confidence in you!

It’s a matter of time, successes and positive experiences. You can very much start at home and with mental, physical and social enrichment activities together where you both feel good about every inch of progress you make. :)

That said if you’re worried about reactivity, it can be completely unrelated to your dog’s confidence level, and more so associated to what your dog is comfortable with.

Meaning you’ll want to tailor the environments and manage the exposure to those triggers to start, in order to prevent further escalations as you work your way up!
