Leash Reactivity Dog Training
Leash Reactivity Training
You simply want to walk your dog through the neighborhood. Calmly. Quietly. Safely. Without embarrassment and not at 5am so you can hide from everyone else.
Leash Reactivity Training will help you enjoy your walks and outings with your dog without lunging, barking, and pulling.
Leash Reactivity can happen for a number of reasons. There may have been a past incident that creates fear or anxiety and your dog needs to try and protect himself or you. Perhaps he’s just a really happy-go-lucky who thinks he needs to greet everyone he sees or announce his presence by barking. Or perhaps, he actually has some intent to start trouble and you know if you drop the leash, or if a dog comes too close, there will be an incident.
No matter the root of leash reactivity cause we can sort this out and teach you the techniques you need to get your walk under control.
This leash reactivity program may need to be coupled with a full obedience program if you don’t have a solid foundation for that yet. But it may be possible that we can do this in a single consultation or a short series of tune-up lessons, helping you master techniques and confident leadership to resolve the drama of your walks and make them more enjoyable for you both.
If there has been a past incident that sparked leash reactivity in your dog — we’ll need to work with you both to ease the anxiety and your own reaction to things you know will trigger your dog. You communicate your own fear through the leash. I can help you resolve that.
