Her dog lashed out… but watch what she did next 👀
Charlie is a young rescue dog, and while he was in my class, he was still learning that he didn’t need to react by barking and lunging at dogs when he was feeling unsure.
We made sure he had plenty of space, including a fence barrier between him and other dogs and people that might make him feel uncomfortable.
When your dog reacts like this, they’re feeling so frazzled, that it can be very challenging to communicate with them. That is, until you’ve taken the time to build a foundation of trust and understanding with your dog!
Cameron is doing an incredible job of this with Charlie and it’s a pleasure to see this stage of their training. I always loved watching them in class so I thought you might like to see this example too! Thumbs up for Cameron and Charlie ❤️
How many of you are working with “reactive” dogs?
