@hopeverra_dogtraining: The ultimate goal when socializing your dogs is to achieve a neutral excitement level when anything or anyone comes your way. By allowing your dogs to pull you to interact with something or someone they see, you are accomplishing the exact opposite and rewarding unwanted behaviour. You want yourself as the handler to be more rewarding and exciting than any other dog or person they come across, you can do this by being enthusiastic and having high value rewards. The key is to let your dog be a fly on the wall and just watch the world go by. By not pressuring or allowing your dog to get excited or anxious from others approaching or being approached by yourselves. Over excitement and stress is the only outcomes of constantly letting your dog go to whoever they want whenever they want. Be your dog's leader and control the situation! Reactive dogs are everywhere and it can all be fixed by following these simple ground rules when in public environments. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #dogconditioning #dogsoftiktok #doglover #dogoftheday #doglife #balanceddog #balanceddogtrainer #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogs #DogTraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainers #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainersoftiktok #dogtrainingadvice #trainingdays #trainingdogs #trainingday #behaviormodification
