I wanted to show one possible path for safely introducing two dogs. Depending on the dogs in question, the process will look different! I recently helped a client introduce her dog to relative’s dog who can be fear reactive, and we used a similar barrier system to desensitize the dogs to each other before allowing them into the same space. #dogtraining #dogbehavior #positivereinforcement #torontodogtrainer #dogsoftoronto

Neutrality is an essential skill for any reactive dog. Your dog can develop this skill by watching other dogs at a distance at the park, while you reinforce their good behaviour. This is something I regularly work on with my reactive clients when we do Training Walks! #dogtraining #reactivedog #leashreactivity #positivereinforcement #dogtrainingtoronto
