Leash reactiveness

[Ucdcrush]

Does she have more freedom? What do you mean she may become more "herself" at home?

I can think of how a dog might become more "herself", and it would be that the dog is doing what it wants more often rather than waiting for the human to direct it to do something. That would not be a good direction to go, and I can see that being associated with frustration, after all, if she has the freedom to do whatever she wants, then why should the fact that a human is holding on to the leash mean anything to her?

Perhaps I am reading too much in to that comment. But I believe too much freedom (i.e not enough structure) which is fairly common nowadays, can play a big part in reactiveness.

I may not have worded it well when I said she started to become "more herself" What I mean is, the rescue dog "honeymoon" period is ending and she is starting to exhibit less than desirable behaviors that were not present before.
