Socializing around other dogs & fixing slight dog reactivity from excitement. Here you can see he was under threshold and I even tested his recall off focusing on a dog. He did amazing! This was progress from fixing his dog reactivity from letting him play with too many dogs when he was younger. ❗️Can you believe he used to whine, scream, couldn’t stop focusing on a dog and I’d have to drag him away? It was SO embarrassing! 😬😭So if you’ve ever dealt with something similar, don’t worry - I have been in your shoes! It takes time but we can work on it, I can help! ☺️ Now:✔️ Doesn’t go crazy when he sees another dog ✔️ Gives me eye contact & engagement ✔️ Walks nicely on a leash & doesn’t try to pull towards a dogThe biggest thing I learned is dog socialization does not mean just play with all the dogs, say hi to them, or have to meet them.I wish I would have found a better trainer when he was young to help guide me then the one I did go to - but it’s okay I got super invested in dog training and behavior to just became a trainer myself instead! 🤣 Thankfully his reactivity was only excitement based but it definitely took time! I’ve learned my dog does not NEED to play with other dogs, especially dog parks where they can be dangerous and learn bad habits from other dogs. •••#dogs #puppy #puppytraining #DogTraining #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips #puppysocialization #dogsocialization #dogreactivity
