Manage episode 428000441 series 3454268
Does your dog seem to turn into a barking, lunging maniac the moment you clip on the leash and they see another dog? This episode uncovers the mystery behind leash reactivity. We break down how fear often lies at the root of this frustrating behavior. You'll learn the science behind why dogs feel threatened when they can't establish their own safe distance and how being tethered to you can make matters worse.
In the second part, we shift gears to arm you with practical tips and strategies for managing your dog's reactivity. From subtle environmental adjustments to creating a more secure space for your dog.
