  • 17 | Frustrated with off leash dogs? My method for staying calm so you can create a good experience
    May 19 2024

    Hey there fellow dog lover!

    Dog reactivity and off-leash dogs. 🐕

    It's a hot topic for sure. 🔥

    It can be said that dog reactivity is born from bad experiences when your dog is on a leash.

    But today I am talking about how I turned a potentially bad situation into a dog-bonding experience.

    I am sharing exactly what I did, why I did it and sharing 3 tips on how to help your dogs when off-leash dogs approach you while you are walking your dog.

    Now disclaimer time:

    There are many variables when it comes to off-leash encounters with other dogs. Today's story worked because these dogs weren't aggressive and the owners were great people. That won't always be the case therefore, always consult a professional dog trainer to help you if you are struggling with dog reactivity and off-leash dog encounters
