If you have heard me mention letting a dog see the end of a “movie”, raise your hand.🙋♀️
Sometimes reactivity is created inadvertently.
A dog has to learn to get through things. If they are constantly pulled away or distracted by the handler, they never learn to deal with challenges and their frustration builds.

Harley loves EVERYONE! ♥️ I took her and her mom out to work on a bit of impulse control and overall exposure to new surroundings. With a dog like this it’s a great opportunity to practice a bit of recall, down/stay, appropriate manners when greeting, etc.
As a kind stranger approaches, I’m not going to lose my mind and start yanking the leash, repeating commands or yelling at the person. This is a friendly and happy-go-lucky dog. I am going to allow the greeting, with manners for Harley, being enforced. Nice and easy for both dog and stranger.
🔹Reading your dog’s body language is important! If your dog is uncomfortable with approaches then advocate for your dog and don’t allow the contact.
As the session moved on Harley became settled and allowed folks to pass without feeling the need to greet every single person. The more exposure she gets new areas the quicker she will settle.

Just met this cute little 3 month old puppy today. Within 5 minutes of me working him he understood recall. I passed the torch to his owner and the video speaks for itself.
There is no secret trick. It’s all about putting forth the effort, patience, and willingness to be clear and consistent. This is relationship building between handler and pup. And no, you don’t need to spend hours per day training. Short and meaningful sessions are much easier on the pup and handler.

See you all Sunday evening! 🎄🐕
Rushing through the process!
These two! ♥️
Notice how Gunner’s mom is walking slowly and allowing curiosity and not controlling every movement? There is no reason Gunner needs to be in a strict heel position at this time. He can glide and check things out.
They did so well!

ANSWER: Lack of breed fulfillment!
No, you don’t need a ranch to fulfill your herding breed. (Although bonus if you have one! 🤠)
If you are struggling with over excitement, destructive behavior, anxiety, or other problem areas with your dog of any breed, sign up for some training and let’s get to the root cause!

Our weekend pack walk was fantastic! My Pack Walks often offer opportunities for not only individual tips but group dog training as well.
Yonaka and his owner were superstars! ⭐️ His owner was very open to receiving help with walking Yonaka. One simple change from harness to slip lead @thedynamiclead was a game changer. This little guy accepted the change immediately. 👏🏻

I don’t conduct run of the mill training sessions. Frankly, I would go insane if I spent my days popping leashes on dogs and telling them to sit, stay, come and heel. I find most neighborhood “walks” boring as well. I’d much rather trail walk/hike, bike, play, or let a dog work in some capacity. Don’t get me wrong, obedience has its place, (and my client dogs know that side of things) but I like to build a relationship between the dog and owner through challenges and activities.
In this case, I built the excitement and let Chloe be a Labrador by utilizing her nose and retrieving. She had a great time and ended by being mentally and physically fulfilled. She’s a pet and we weren’t training for anything specific other than fun and breed fulfillment - not trying to win trophies and papers! The more excited we got the more Chloe wanted to “work” and play.
