Maz51 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 General info.. I copy & paste these and keep in my memo pad on phone. Good points raised & given. ● Distraction, de-sensitisation, repetition over and over. My girl is dog reactive (negatively) to other dogs (not my friend's mini Yorkies though) and (positively) to some other dogs but after slow intro with all-cover basket muzzle + lead, in secure off lead meets, just walking around, meeting, sniffing, seeing all (most off lead now!) and being discouraged to interact aggressively too; then, lead off (muzzle on); once settled, lead on, muzzle off, walking round = much more relaxed, & she's now meeting same furkids again. They all have harnesses for easy grabbing just in case.... then the lead is off. If any scrap starts (by any of them, everyone yells 'Oi!' which pretty much stops them all instantly. 😃😁 So, just going into town, walking the high steet, both sides, meeting and greeting folk esp those who want to (and ask) come and fuss, but also settling down outside a cafe or Costa.. and there IS much less reaction towards other dogs (usually smaller but yappy too) walking by. My boy whines but keeps himself restrained. My girl IS improving, and I expect a few more months & continued repitition is in order, with at least one or two weekly visits. It takes time. And trust from yours that not everything smaller is either a threat or for defensive->attack behaviour. Praise when she turns to you with reward (distract behaviour by you). 30 reps over 30 days and renew / repeat on a regular basis. 🤗 More to come...
