In this tutorial you are going to learn a fun game to kickstart your puppy’s recall training.
Appropriate Play
As your dog is going through adolescence their body will be developing rapidly but often it takes a while longer for them to socially and emotionally mature.
Arc by Approaching Distraction
When you are walking your dog, there will be times you notice distractions approaching you head on.
Learning to calm down after getting excited or frustrated is a skill which dogs need to practice in order to get good at it.
When you think about changing behavior, often you just want something to stop
When you think about reactivity, do you focus on just your dog? Do you focus on how to stop the behavior you don’t like?

Sometimes you’ll find yourself in challenging situations with your dog. Perhaps someone wants to meet your dog and is insisting on coming closer or maybe they let their “friendly” dog come running over.
Exposing your puppy in the right way early on to objects that move is really important if you don’t want them to become triggers for your puppy to chase later.
So, what causes reactivity? What makes one dog over-react when another dog doesn’t?
