Iโm always asked for a training/walking location recommendation, so I decided to share one of my favorite places with you.
If you live in the S Seattle area, Southern Heights Park in Burien is a great place for walking with a reactive dog and decompression walk (sniff walk)
Location checklist ๐ for a reactive dog training
โ๏ธ Wide space
โ๏ธ No or less blind corners
โ๏ธ Low human and car traffic
โ๏ธ Quiter place
โ๏ธ Parking lot is in front of the park - easy entrance and exit
Walking with a reactive dog can be stressful. My recommendation is to switch locations to allow yourself to have a low key walk (decompression walk) with your dog once in a while :) Itโs okay to have a fun and easy walk when you need a break from active teaching.
Happy training!
