Is walking outside with your dog stressful because he reacts negatively to new sights, sounds, dogs, and people? Would you like to learn how to bail out before a potential situation escalates? Using the Emergency U-Turn life skill can make outings much easier for both of you.
In this course, we show you a powerful life skill you can use to make it easier to walk your dog, particularly if he displays reactive behavior to outside stimuli. The emergency U-turn allows you to prevent and avoid situations where your dog becomes so agitated that he could hurt himself or someone else. Using an easy-to-practice game, you’ll both learn to turn quickly in a new direction—confidently on a loose leash.
This course will help you:
