One for the reactive dogs.....
but also EVERY dog needs a movement word.
Movement words (and a solid movement word that is understood) for reactive dogs are especially important if you are aware of something before your dog may react to it.
Perhaps a cat has crawled out under a car or a dog has come into your dogs "reaction zone".
Perhaps your dog has met a friend and instead of a struggle to separate... your dog will now quickly refocus back on you and the walk.
Your dog may be heavily into a scent (but you have been waiting for a while and you have to get home) you can say your movement word and off you go.....
They can be that effective....but only with practice (and however long that may take).
Don't rush this....really solidify this.
Always make it positive....
If you use this word to encourage movement towards what they may be afraid of, it will lose its effect.
So add a movement word in.....you may just be amazed at how many uses it can have.
