Very interesting. I often fall into the pattern of playing lots of games with my dog when on walks especially when off lead in the woods. It keeps Quincy so focused on me, but I see that this calm walking strategy would be good to apply in the woods too... so I shall give it a go. Thank you
Could you do a piece like this one but in a neighborhood or town where there are people and other dogs you have to pass by? Question - what are the options / games to begin to let your dog interact with other dogs when they are not aggressive but have a skittish greeting with a bark? We are now in the mode of my dog loves me, wants to be near me but isn't comfortable around or greeting any other dogs (except my other dog) initially.
Hi there, The long lead is a really good tool to work on the recall Check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GSRIxfRewqM.html to boost your recall💚 Keep up the good work🐾
We have a front door, porch door [backyard] & a garage door. Just watched the episode about not giving our dog access to the front door to cut down on barking, jumping etc. Which door do we use when going out for our morning & evening walks?
Your Labrador sadly doesn't seem to know what to do with herself off leash. She's constantly looking up at you, Lauren. Wouldn't she like to sniff and explore? She looks a bit "lost". I know Labs are food-obsessed. As someone else asked, what happens if a dog or bike comes past?
