Feel the leash go slack. Hear nothing but your own footsteps. Follow this day-by-day plan and fix leash reactivity at home, without a $150-an-hour trainer.
When your dog lunges and the other dog leaves, the dog learns the bark worked. Skip the training and the habit keeps getting practiced, walk after walk.
Most owners respond by walking less. The dog gets more pent-up, and the next encounter is worse.
“To you it sounds like aggression. To your dog it is terror wearing a costume.”From Chapter 1
You clip on the leash and your shoulders stay down. You hear tags jingle around the corner and you feel calm, because you know exactly what to do. Your dog glances at the other dog, then turns back to you for the treat.
Picture the coffee still warm in your hand, and a walk you actually enjoy. Start that plan tonight.
Reads on any Kindle, phone or tablet
A 30-day plan built around one idea: work below your dog's threshold, then shrink the distance. You'll learn to read the signs early, use engage-disengage, and get out of surprise encounters without a scene.
