When waving sausages around isn’t making the slightest bit of difference and the dog is still barking and causing chaos….
It’s time to stop, think, and reassess.
It’s time to work out WHY, WHAT, and HOW things can be different.
Just over a week ago I was thrilled to be an expert speaker at The International Dog Trainer's Summer Summit, focusing on reactivity in dogs.
This Wednesday coming (18th August) I'm going to be running the same masterclass again, AND YOU'RE ALL INVITED!
It's called The Calmer Canines Masterclass: How to Stop Your Dog Barking When Treats Don't Work and, you guessed it, we'll be focusing on why treats sometimes don't work and what we can do about it.
There’s so much conflicting information out there - according to google we have to “tell them who’s boss” “ignore the bad” “get better treats” “buy more equipment” “baby them” “don’t baby them”... it’s no wonder we struggle!
And meanwhile, the unpredictability is confusing, and it’s scary.
We love our dogs like family members, and the last thing we want is for things to get any worse.
But it doesn't have to be like this. I’m here to show you a different way.
* One that involves building co-operation, confidence and curiosity.
* One that slows down thinking, so that the dog is able to make calm and rational decisions by themselves instead of leaping straight to fight mode.
And this is the bit that’s been missing in all of your training so far. This is the bit that NO-ONE ELSE IS TELLING YOU.
The secret with our sensitive dogs is making sure that they're in the right headspace to learn before we begin.
Then, and only then, can we teach them that those scary things are not so scary after all.
