Do you have trouble with your dog getting too excited during your morning walks?
Is calming down your dog a task that seems like it takes forever?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you may have a reactive dog.
One of the most common things that reactive dogs do is leash pull.
Many dog owners have to deal with whether their dog is a puppy, an adolescent, or a senior. But, why do they do that? Chances are, they haven’t learned the proper foundation skills that are necessary to help them walk, play, and interact with others in a peaceful manner.
They may be scared, nervous, or simply don’t yet have the control they need. Don’t worry though, you’re not alone. Many dog owners struggle with this exact problem.
Although we love our pets as our own, they can be a lot to handle. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, or even angry with your dog when they act out. However, this doesn’t have to be how it always is.
Learning how to teach your dog to remain calm in the presence of others, especially while walking, can seem like a monumental task.
When you’re already stressed out by their behaviour, the last thing you probably want to do is put in more hard work. Believe me, I’ve been there.
Between taking care of my own reactive dog and helping other owners with theirs, I have plenty of experience in getting these behaviours under control.
