About this listen

When another dog shows up on a walk, things can go sideways fast. One minute your dog is fine, the next they’re locked in, pulling, barking, or acting like they’ve completely forgotten you exist.

In this episode, I’m talking about how to handle an approaching dog on a walk without losing your mind or your dog’s focus. I break down the mistakes most owners make, what to do when you see trouble coming, and how to use your body, movement, and leash handling to stay calm and take the lead.

I also talk about what to do when you miss the moment and your dog reacts anyway, because let’s be honest, that happens too. This is practical, real life training advice to help you stop dreading walks and start feeling more confident handling the chaos.
