Yappy Hour — Leash Reactivity & Dog Aggression 10.28.2020
In this month's Yappy Hour, Cathy talks about leash reactivity and dog aggression. She covers what reactivity is, how it's different from aggression, leash walking tips, and what training tools to use (and what training tools to avoid). She also gives you ideas for what you can start doing right away to help your reactive dog while overviewing what a behavior modification plan looks like.
If you have a reactive dog, working one-on-one with a certified professional trainer is crucial for success! Every case is different and you and your dog deserve personalized support, training plan, and feedback.
