Response Letter - person who registers on ZDTO - Leash Aggression


Thanks for registering with the online system. I look forward to our visit in a few weeks!

The videos' you will want to check out are under Shy Dogs, plus Ch 6-9 of the DVD are an excellent overview of our methods.

Regarding other issues...you asked me what to do when you meet another dog on the leash. Attached. This is pretty advanced stuff but check it out anyway so you can have an idea of how the leash interferes and actually communicates tension (makes things worse) if held tightly...I'll give you more tangible and easier to implement methods when we meet in person.

Looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks.

Have fun training!

p.s. Both of these documents have the word 'aggression' is the title but these solutions apply to any level of 'reactive-ness' - the dog-dog training options explains that sometimes you want to just avoid a conflict but other times use real-world stimulus to desensitize and counter-condition.

p.p.s. Attached are two documents on leash aggression
