I see people letting dogs meet on leash and I brace myself 😆

Yes, we realize that on leash greetings can go successfully. Dogs who see each other all the time are often fine. Dog savvy owners who have a low threshold for nonsense successfully manage leashed dog interactions between mannerly, stable dogs all the time. The reality is that’s not what’s happening in “the wild”! Things get intense between dogs in my neighborhood every day and I know the same is true in most other scenarios when dogs are permitted to thoughtlessly approach one another.

Dogs meeting on leash is not socialization. It’s not supportive of most dog owners’ training goals. It does often create or fuel reactive behavior. Dogs typically have personal space bubbles with strangers just like we do.

Most dogs are capable of having some canine companions but there are ways to do introductions that reduce the risk of tension and conflict and maximize the development of positive relationships.

Teaching leash walking skills can be incredibly tedious and many people give up way too soon. Georgie is going to have to have excellent leash walking skills in order to not create safety issues for her family members. I make a point of not following her when she’s leading out ahead of me and putting tension on the leash. The goal is to teach her to seek a loose leash and pay more attention to her positioning relative to her handler. Right about turns are an effective way to start sending that message.

Milo is maturing so much through our training process! He’s become so much more focused and responsive. It’s so rewarding when you can see the results from a family’s efforts between lessons.

June is a silly, social young bulldog who easily loses focus. She has a tendency to pull towards traffic and generally get herself into trouble on walks with her pulling behavior. Heel is a specific position and performance used to clarify leash behavior expectations. I’m looking for June to move with me on my left side, keeping her head up (no need for her to stare at me like a competition dog, though!), and change pace and direction with me. We should both be able to stay in our own lanes.
