How to Stop Your Dog From Lunging and Barking - Reactive Dog

If you have any training or behavior-related questions, here is a direct line to me, come join me on my Patreon page to get your questions answered. patreon.com/sarahcertified

Do you have a dog who lunges and barks at other people, dogs, or even squirrels on walks? Well this is the video for you! These behaviors can be embarrassing for us to deal with, but this video will talk about why your dog may be doing it and how to fix it.

The game taught in this video is called "Look at That" or the "Engage/Disengage" game. I did not come up with this game, but use it all the time in both training with my own dog and working with client dogs. There is a lot of science behind why this works, which I talk about briefly. It really can take your dog from being a terror on your walks to being prim and proper. Of course, getting there does take lots of work!

I say it in my video and will say it here too...this video is not nearly a full explanation of reactivity in dogs or how to work with it. This is purely a little something that is easy for most people to get started with at home. I highly recommend seeking out in person professional help if you are dealing with any more.
