In this week’s AbsoluteDogs TV Episode, we discuss:
Does your dog: BARK, LUNGE or seem to HATE other dogs? REACT to cyclists, joggers, vehicles OR even CHASE after them? WORRY about people? Do they GROWL at the vet or JUMP on visitors?
The truth is, in situations like these, YOUR DOG is the VICTIM. They are giving you INFORMATION that they are UNCOMFORTABLE in these situations and they don't KNOW what to do!
Has your dog ever been called: 'AGGRESSIVE' 'DIFFICULT' 'STUBBORN' 'DOMINANT' 'REACTIVE'
Well, this is actually one of the most COMMON STRUGGLES we come across here at absoluteDOGS and the first thing we love to do is RIP OFF those disempowering LABELS!
The reality is, we work off the assumption that ALL dogs are GOOD DOGS at their core - and as their best advocates, we as their owners (or pet parents!) need to prepare them for the big, scary, wide world by training CONCEPTS through GAMES so our dogs have the SKILLS TO COPE with any environment or situation they might find themselves in!
Dive into this video for all our super TOP TIPS to get you started on supporting and skilling up your dog to set them up for success in ALL situations!
In this super video, you are going to learn how to teach your dog SELF-CONTROL and DISENGAGEMENT, while also skilling YOURSELF up to ADVOCATE for your dog, so you have the confidence to SAY NO to those situations you know aren't right for your dog’s current skill level!
This is such an immense, learning-packed episode and we can’t wait to dive in with you!
BUT WAIT!! Are you ready for your 'REACTIVE' dog to: - Be calm and chilled (at home and out and about)? - Walk nicely on lead (without pulling or lunging)? - Focus on YOU (and disengage entirely from the environment)? - Recall FIRST TIME, every time when off lead?
