Your dog isn’t failing the walk. The walk is failing your dog. 🚫
I said this to Sarah last week after she described her daily 6 AM “death march” with her reactive German Shepherd.
20 minutes of pure hell. Lunging at every dog, person, and squirrel. Neighbors crossing the street to avoid them. Sarah in tears by the time they got home.
Sound familiar?
Here’s what 87% of dog owners don’t realize: That walk isn’t training... it’s trauma rehearsal.
Every single day, you’re both practicing the meltdown. Your dog expects chaos. You expect embarrassment. The cycle never breaks.
PLOT TWIST: In order to find a solution to the explosions... they have to happen WAY LESS often
I never start with the walk.
Think about it: You wouldn’t throw a kid who can’t add into calculus and expect success, right?
Your dog needs 3 specific foundation skills FIRST:
Confidence
Motivation
a Great Relationship
Sarah’s dog?
First: stay home... play...learn... grow
then: Perfect loose-leash walks past 4 dogs without a single reaction.
The secret? She stopped forcing the walk and started building the foundation.
Want the exact 3-step sequence that’s worked for 1,447 reactive dogs and counting (including the “hopeless” ones)?
