Jacob Morgan explains why traditional training fails with dogs in extreme reactivity states he calls "fifth gear." When a dog loses control at the sight of another dog, obedience commands and treats don't work. Morgan argues these cases need a direct, high-intensity response to break the cycle.

When you're dealing with the fiery dogs, the all-hope-is-lost cases, the ones that lose their shit at the mere sight of another dog, sometimes you need to fight fire with fire. You see, when your dog reacts, they're getting into fifth gear. They're getting into an addictive, adrenalised state. And in that moment, all the obedience, the punishments, the corrections, treats in the world will never work.
