Leash Reactivity?

Reactivity can feel overwhelming, embarrassing, and frustrating—but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

There are 3 stages to addressing Leash Reactivity.

When we move through each step thoughtfully, both we and our dogs build the skills we need to succeed — setting us up for real change.

Stage 2 - Anticipate Surprises

Do you know your training isn’t quite ready for everything the world will throw at you and your dog? That’s okay—this is part of the process. To bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, we use Distraction Games and Get-Out-of-Trouble Games.

These games start at home, then we practice them with pretend surprises. With practice, they settle into your muscle memory—and your dog’s.

When you know you can get out of trouble any time it pops up, everything becomes easier (and way more fun). Instead of avoiding the world, you can actually look forward to getting out there and finding training opportunities.

I will be discussing the 3 stages and answering questions live in an upcoming webinar on November 20th. It's only $19.95USD to join. You can watch it later if you can't make it live, but you have to sign up ahead of time because Fenzi does not sell webinars after the fact.

Next up: Stage 3 — we’ve built a strong foundation and have our management tools and get-out-of-trouble games in place. So now what? How do we actually start changing behaviour?
