What should I do if my dog is reactive during walks?

If your dog tends to react to other dogs or people while on walks, it's essential to identify the triggers. Keeping a safe distance from those triggers can help your dog feel more at ease. • Using positive reinforcement techniques can be beneficial. Reward your dog with treats or praise when they remain calm during encounters with their triggers. • Consider using a front-clip harness, which gives you better control over your dog and helps prevent pulling. Training classes focused on leash manners can also make a huge difference in their behavior during walks.
