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. The first two steps set us and our dogs up to be able to learn, to have the skills to regulate our arousal and emotions, and give us get-out-of-trouble skills.

Stage 3 - Work The Challenges

Once we have the skills to get out in the world and have fun, we can go out looking for challenges to train. The basic premise of most counter-conditioning or desensitization games is to help our dogs perceive the world without staring or fixating at things that they find challenging.

There are many games to help us achieve this goal, and the right game depends on you and your dog.

VERY SOON, 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.

Read more about the webinar HERE or register HERE.

I hope you will join me!

💩 Sh$t Happens - be kind to yourself

You're going to make mistakes with your dog. Sorry for the foul language, but seriously, be nicer to yourself! You'll miss a warning sign. You'll push too far on a bad day. You'll look back and think I should have known better. And when it happens, that voice in your head will be merciless. Learning isn't linear. When we live with dogs with Big Feelings, progress is often three steps forward, one step back. That's normal. Setbacks don't erase all the hard work you've done. One rough day...
