If your dog barks, lunges, freezes, growls, or completely loses their mind when they see another dog or person on leash, this episode is for you. In this episode, I will talk about:

  • What leash reactivity actually is
  • Why leash reactivity happens
  • How owners accidentally reinforce leash reactivity
  • What not to do with a leash reactive dog
  • What to do instead
  • Why calming exercises must start at home
  • Introducing triggers the right way
  • Setting realistic expectations
  • When to get help
