Is your dog pulling and barking on leash at other dogs?

Last week was the WHY of leash reactivity.  This week is the HOW to fix it!

On this second of my interview with certified dog trainer Victoria Baker, we address HOW to train your dog to calmly walk on a leash with answers to questions like:

  • Why does my dog bark on leash but not off?
  • How to stop dog from pulling and barking on leash?
  • Why do dogs bark at other dogs or does my dog bark on leash?
  • How to stop leash reactivity?
  • How to deal with leash reactivity?

How to solve leash reactivity

When a dog can trust their human to feel safe, they start to relax a little. That they don't have to go crazy at the end of the leash to announce to the entire world that I'm not comfortable, right? Yes, my owner's got it, man. He gives me enough space, and makes me feel safe, and then pairs everything with food.

And it's really consistent. It happens every single time. Now I don't have to worry about taking things into my own hands. The dog's cortisol levels literally plummet once they realize that kind of stuff.
