    TEACHING FOUNDATION BEHAVIORS: LOOSE-LEASH WALKING

    One of the easiest and most effective ways to train a dog to walk properly on a dog leash is to reward the dog for paying attention to you and for being in the desired position (next to you or close to you) when you are out for a walk. Your dog should remain close enough to you, either by your side or slightly ahead of you, that his leash remains loose, forming a U-shape.

    HOW TO INTRODUCE REACTIVE DOGS TO NEW PEOPLE SAFELY

    Introducing reactive dogs to new people requires careful planning and execution to ensure a positive experience and minimize the risk of negative behaviors. Effective introductions can prevent fear-based reactions and promote social confidence, making introductions a crucial aspect of training—especially for dogs with heightened sensitivity or previous negative experiences.

    PUPPY SOCIALIZATION: INTRODUCING PUPPIES TO HANDLING

    Many dogs feel anxious about handling and restraint, especially if they find new experiences scary or if they have had bad past experiences. They may associate being held still with something unpleasant about to happen. However, by introducing handling and restraint positively from the start, you can teach puppies that being held is a sign of good things to come!

    HELP DOGS OVERCOME THE FEAR OF OBJECTS

    Is your dog afraid of ordinary objects? Does he freeze or try to run away when he sees a bag blowing in the wind? There are many reasons why dogs may be fearful of certain objects, including exposure to something scary during the developmental period, lack of early socialization, or even a negative experience with the object.

    The ABCs of Barking

    Barking happens for a reason. Sounds obvious, right? It wasn't always obvious, according to applied ethologist Julie Hecht, writing in the spring 2013 issue of The Bark. At the turn of the century, barking was widely thought to be "simply an item on a dog's daily checklist: 'Take a walk, have breakfast, bark.'"
