LEASH AGGRESSION
Do you have a dog who react to other dogs, or people, on your walks? Lunging, leash reactivity and aggression are all behaviours that are caused by a dog feeling restrained, frustrated and uncomfortable. Leash makes it more difficult for them to get out of the situation so it causes extra tension. An unleashed dog would be able to put distance between himself and a fear source, but on lead this changes. Walking a reactive dog is not a pleasant experience, I know it from experience. It’s stressful for both the dog and you.
How Do I Train My Leash Reactive Dog?
The first step is identifying the cause of the reactivity. Then you must start working to desensitise him to the situation that makes him uncomfortable. However, at the same time, you should be conditioning him in a positive way to see that the stimulus is no longer cause for concern. A leash manners class is great for this kind of training because all the dogs are under control. It’s a safe environment to teach your dog that others aren’t a threat.
