No treats, commands, markers or names and this mumma has more respect from 9 dogs than most can achieve with just one dog.
The take aways:
🖤 You set the tone for YOU, your body and space. If you cant control what happens in your own space, your dog will never see you as someone who can protect them or guide them in the big scary world - you could expect reactivity, and general disregard for you without this.
🖤 Over excitement and arousal can lead to reactivity - mumma is teaching everyone to stay regulated in life, not just for this moment.
🖤 Be deliberate, decisive and direct. No hesitation.
🖤 Follow through - when you dont follow through in these moments, no one will believe you in the moments that really matter.
🖤 Be one step ahead to prevent it from happening again.
🖤 Reward calm, respectful energy by only allowing them to move forward and gain access to what they want when they are in the right state of mind.
There is no better teacher for how to be and speak dog, than dogs! 🤝🏼 🐕
