Reactivity/Barrier Frustration, whatever term you want to call it when your dog is out of control while on the leash, is a result of the dog being in either DEFENSE, PREY, or SOCIAL DRIVE.
This is such a common behavior issue that we are currently seeing a lot of.
If you have these problems, ask yourself these questions:
1. Do I allow my dog to run amuck with other dogs at a daycare or dog park?
2. Do I allow my dog to great every person, dog, or thing while out and about.
3. Have I properly taught my dog that things in our human world are nothing to be fearful of, do I avoid situations that stress the dog, so they never learn to be confident?
4. What is my dog's genetic predisposition?

We get a lot of calls about puppies that are not behaving in the home, such as using the bathroom in the house, being destructive, etc. But the question really is... How did you teach the dog how to live in your home?
Most people assume the dog will eventually behave, maybe, maybe not.
When you bring an opportunistic predator into your home, it is your job to parent them, teach them rules and boundaries, teach them how to live in a human world, and most importantly, try to better understand them for who they are!
If you don't put in the work when they first arrive at your home, you will then be putting in a lot more work when they are older when those unwanted behaviors have a lot of repetitions and success behind them.

Due to a previously scheduled appointment, group training will be cancelled tomorrow morning 25 January.
Doing some "Step off" drills with Izzy. I do not use the word "STAY" in training as you see in the video.
The dog must maintain the last command given until either released or given a new command.
Stepping off to the dogs 90° is the cue to remain in position. If I was to move forward the dog will move with me in the "heal" position.
The "heal" command is a position, not the act of walking, think of it as a moving "stay".

Well, since they are calling for rain in the morning, we are again cancelling the group training for tomorrow morning. We will try this again next Saturday.
Izzy got some work in today. She is getting so much better in just a weeks time. You can see she is still nervous but is learning to work through it instead of panicking and running away. She is still uncomfortable with strangers. At least, she no longer barks at them.
