Hey there, dog lovers!
Listen up, because I've got something important to say about walking your reactive dog!
We all know that walking a reactive dog can sometimes feel like walking a tightrope. You follow all the lead laws, you keep control of your dog, but still, people give you the stink eye because your furry friend can't help but bark its little head off. It's like they expect your dog to be a social butterfly or something!
And let's not even get started on those off-leash dog owners who act like you're the problem. Like, hello, you're just doing your best to keep your dog safe and follow the rules!
But here's the deal: you're not doing anything wrong. In fact, you're doing everything right by advocating for your dog and keeping them out of harm's way.
So, to all those judgmental folks out there, here's a friendly reminder:
1. Give us some space, people! Don't approach without asking if it's cool.
2. Hold your judgment and take a walk in our shoes (or our dog's paws) before you start pointing fingers.
3. Instead of offering unsolicited advice, try being understanding. Trust me, we've heard it all before!
Now, let me tell you, I am cheering you on so hard in this wild journey. It's not always easy, but together, we can conquer it!
And if you're struggling with reactive dogs, I've got a little something for you. Head over to The Boo Dan Way at theboodanway.co.uk. They've got some great resources to help you out.
Remember, you're not alone in this. There are people out there who understand and empathize with what you're going through.
Keep your chin up, and keep on walking!
Sending you all the doggy love,
Steve
