| Yes! Even a reactive little Cairn boy can learn to be calm and attentive on a walk! |
This is a wonderful video by Zak George which demonstrates how to work with a highly reactive dog, using the "Look at me!" and "Get out of Dodge!" positive training methods. There is a spot of advertising by his sponsor, but it it worth waiting the minute to see this really helpful video. Obviously, the dog is not a Cairn and we recommend only using a lead attached to a secure harness, not a lead attached to a collar, but everything else he demonstrates applies perfectly.
Walking your dog can be fun!
Charley, my Russel/Schnauzer cross realllly needs this... or err, well I need it.... he pulls like a Malamute and is reactive to other dogs, esp. Chihuahuas...
ReplyDeleteMy Cairn, Folly,has a panic attack if I take her past the end of the driveway- she is so scared she doesn't respond to anything...how can I get her to enjoy walking?
