Tips ✅ from Lindsey (K9 Revamped Owner & Training and While Your R Away Manager WA Location) Socialization/Exposure Everyone talks about needing to socialize your dog/puppy with other dogs, however the purpose gets lost amongst many dog owners. The goal ✅is that your dog has positive experiences with other dogs and learns how to peacefully coexist and how to appropriately greet and interact with other dogs. How to walk by dogs calmly and be neutral to their environment. They learn how to feel safe around other dogs. Why does that matter? ➡️Because if we only teach our dogs that other dogs equal excessive play time, adrenaline and excitement…it leads to things like reactivity. How do we do this? Here are just a few ways: 1. Go on organized walks with a trainer and/or experienced handlers (intro’s and first experiences must be positive and neutral - make sure this is done correctly)2. Find neutral and well socialized dogs for your dog to interact with…3.
