A friend and I were discussing our dogs yesterday and got on the topic of time to reach threshold and time to recover afterwards. Inara is very much a zero to sixty girl, going over-threshold in a heartbeat, no ramping up. However, she recovers just as quickly - barking/lunging to, "so sorry, what were we doing?" in the space of a heartbeat. However my friend's dog, Henry, also an APBT, is also reactive but in a much slower fashion. He sloooowly starts reacting more and more until he goes over-threshold. But then he also recovers much more slowly, no instant bounce-back.
Is there often a correlation between reaction time and recovery time? I'm just curious what you guys have noticed.
