Want to know how to create an anti-social dog - one that reacts each and every time they see a new person or dog - then continue to allow her to have random, misguided, unpredictable interactions with everything that catches her fancy.

As cute and fun as it may seem to allow your puppy to greet new dogs while on leash during your walks, it is one of the most ill-advised forms of socialization out there.

We all know it’s extremely important for your new pup to be exposed to as many new things as possible, but we don’t want the overly excited greetings from new people or dogs to become triggers for arousal that encourage jumping, barking, or pulling on leash, or breaking a command.

When a dog owner allows her puppy to pull her to a stranger to pet their dog, not only are you elevating her state of mind, but you are also inevitably reinforcing two things - even more excitement the next time she sees someone new, and complete, and utter disconnect from the human holding the end of the leash.

When we allow high value distractions to allure our dogs (strangers soliciting pets or on leash greetings with other dogs), the distractions become your dog's priority over you. Your calm, relaxing walks begin to unravel, and your dog is now hyper-reactive to each and every passerby on the street.

A dog that fancies his handler over its environment IS the well-socialized dog... not the dog that pulls his owner to greet every passerby.
