Rethinking Reactivity
Why Your Dog Isn't Responding to You with Jessica Wheatcraft
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What is going on when a dog can stay responsive on their walk, UNTIL another dog comes around?
I'm back with another solo episode, where I break down this scenario and help you better understand why your dog cannot respond to you, and what you can do about it. I cover:
- Proofing behaviors and why you probably haven't prepared your dog as much as you think you have
- How to be more effective at teaching your dog to respond to you around distractions
- How to understand the criteria you are setting, and how to be fluid in any given scenario
- The dance between criteria and thresholds
- And so much more
