Leash work with a reactive dog does not need to involve violence. Within 10 minutes this little lady went from derailed to handling like a Ferrari. 🐶🩷 how did I do it? Communication, mutual respect, and boundaries that are set with love. Note: every single time I tug the leash, it was with one hand for a 60 pound dog who was lunging. 👏Force. 👏Is. 👏Not. 👏Necessary.✨ when she jumped, the ball of my foot stayed on the ground and I nudged her off of me with my knee. That way I did not hurt her, but was able to maintain my personal space.✨ I made sure to put a gentle negative on negative behavior immediately rather than “hoping “her behavior would improve. This was especially important doing step work on the porch.✨ she’s a good sweet girl who does not deserve to live a life of negatives, so for every negative I had to place on her unsavory or rude behavior, she received 10 positives. that’s my 90/10 rule. ⭐️✨ she’s not a bad dog. She just sucks at being human. She’s not giving me a hard time. She’s having a hard time. I am here to help her through a hard time not make her life more difficult.🩷🐶Find out more at DarwinDogs.org or check out the link in our bio. #forcefreetraining #bestdogever #dogtrainingdifferently #cledogs #dogsofcle #gooddog #dogtraininglife #dogtraining #dogsofcleveland #doglover #pitbull #bestdogever #Cleveland #Rescue #adoptdontshop #leashtraining #morningmotivation

So many #GoodDogs at our pack walks this past weekend:
Seb, Willow 1, Quinn, Willow 2, Massi, Bonnie, Roy, Carly, Toby, Popeye, Millie, Ginger, Jolene, Bean, & Opie (am I missing anyone?)🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
But special shout out to Olive the #Wheaton. Her owners chose communication over domination, and were able to do the Really Scary Thing with Olive: have her around other dogs during a walk.
No shock, collars, no prong collars, just simple communication based dog training is what turned Olive’s fear into trust and confidence in her mom and dad. So so proud of them!🩷🤩
