On the whole though I feel as though Frodo is backsliding. We have been seeing less dogs out on walks and he is seemingly more reactive though there is nothing I can pinpoint that I am doing differently. Maybe he is just feeling more alive in the cooler weather?

More than the dog reactivity, he also seems to be acting worse around people as well. Which to me is more worrisome than other dogs. Now, Frodo has never bitten or gone beyond barking at people, though he has had many opportunities, but I definitely don't want to put him in a position where he feels as though he needs to even go as far as barking.

In general he has seemed much more alert on our walks and as though he is just waiting for something or someone to come along and then he reacts now and will think about whether he should have at a later time. It is frustrating when he has come so far and I cannot seem to get us back on track.

That's about all I have on this front right now. Other than that for my next dog I want a dog that loves absolutely every human ever. At this point dog reactivity seems so much easier to deal with!
