This video is worth gold. We hired a behaviour consultant and she recommended we do exactly what is said here! We’ve seen a lot of improvement so far

Just wanted to say, this video is amazing. I watched it when my puppy was starting to refuse to walk away from other dogs on walks and was getting fixated on them. I have since shared it to loads of people as I think it explains everything so well. Thank yuo for making/posting it.

Wonderfull content. I wish I knew this all before when my dog was still a puppy but gladly you mentioned what you can do when your dog is already reactive regardless of its age. Thank you so much for sharing this information!

Glad it was helpful!

Ugh! I feel terrible that I let my dog be so overly-friendly. He’s now a teenager and I’m worried that I ruined him. I had the best intentions but I wish I had realized that it wasn’t good.

Hi Candice! I'm sure you did -- and are doing -- a great job!

[@KatandDogs]

Hm, I have wondered about this as well. He has been playing a lot, and now he gets super frustrated when he is not allowed to play..

Hi! Would you recommend doing some of those enrichment options before playing the engage/disengage game?
