DOES YOUR DOG HAVE LEASH REACTIVITY?
Perhaps you have the perfect calm dog inside, and a small dinosaur outside on-leash? Or maybe your dog is an overthinker/fearful and reacts to anything that comes her/his way?
First thing first, don't stress! We have a reactivity guide on hand and can provide experienced guidance that WILL help.
- Refer to the below guide whenever you approach a trigger that makes your dog reactive.
- The ideal place at all times is in the GREEN zone, if you are getting into other zones then you are TOO CLOSE to the trigger.
- You then need to increase the distance to the trigger. This is the only way to effectively change your dog's response in the long run.
- Remember, set yourself up for success on every walk. If you already know you're going to fail, reassess, and walk in a low distraction area. Measure your distance, and test it out. Work with what you have, and slowly get closer.
- Don't give up hope! We understand reactivity is not fun for anyone, but if you can positively show your dog how to be happy and calm, they will willing accept it!
