Here’s a quick little checklist.

How many of these things are you doing… or not?

Putting all these simple pieces together will help transform 99% of “reactive” dog (who are actually just brats) into lovely, polite, take anywhere dogs, and in a relatively short amount of time.

Skip these steps and you’re signing up for the stress-filled, anxiety-enveloped, much dreaded walk. :)

The good news? You’ve got choices, and the good ones work exceptionally well. ❤️

Trainers routinely watch dogs play the game of offering their best to those who demand it and offering something very different to those who don’t.

The sheer number of highly trained dogs running around pretending not to know anything is one of the greatest ruses ever pulled on permissive and/or gullible owners.

This is why your trainer can’t (or shouldn’t) make any guarantees about how the dog will behave with you—because if you won’t hold the dog accountable for what it knows and is capable of, your dog’s “memory” will be impressively brief.

Of course your trainer has to train you as much as they do the dog—or more—but once that knowledge is passed along, only one party can make the new reality… reality.

And yes, you can feel free to substitute child for dog if that helps bring more clarity to this dynamic that you’ve almost certainly seen in other contexts.
