Does your dog go crazy when they see another dog?

My dogs are dragging their butts today.

It’s hot, humid, and all they want to do is lay on the cool, tile floor.

I can’t blame them. I feel like doing the same, but instead  I am sitting here tapping away on my keyboard to share another entertaining, information packed nugget of training that will help you with your dog.

Just the other day, I was working with a dog that had developed a problem with other dogs while out for walks with his owner.

Spending a few minutes with the owner and dog, I quickly discovered the problem and informed him how to fix it.

Check out this video to discover what happened:

All the best,

Eric

    I understand what you mean about cross association but what can I do when my dog lunges at other dogs when he’s on the lead? Thanks.

    Hey Eric,

    So how to you properly correct them without cross-association? If I correct before they see the dog, then they don’t know why I’m doing it.

    Love your blog! Wish I’d known not to use prong collars. My dog is 2 1/2 years old. We got her from the shelter when she was 6 months old and, because she had kennel cough, we couldn’t socialize her for another 2 months or so. We took her to a trainer who said we should use a prong collar. She is agressive with other dogs at times. We are leary about bringing her around other dogs because she always seems so anxious and we never know whether she’ll start a fight or not. Is it too late to correct this behavior?
