ill definitely do that! actually did short training sessions this morning, and god it was so much fun for both me and Ahri(my dog), we ran around alolt together and we just focused on enjoying each others company, i really need to learn to chill lol and Ahri is teaching me how by being extra goofy this morning! super happy with how thigns are going atm, thanks for the comment aswell!

yes one of the other things i gotta work on is my timing when to correct or reward her which is totally my fault but im practicing, trying to read her body language better etc, thank you so much for the comment

edited the post so people dont get the wrong idea, sorry if you thought i was letting my anger out on my dog

I 100% agree with you, i do do that 'turn and go' thing when i see shes tense and staring at the dog intensely, i turn around a few times and tell her to sit which helps her out alot since shes looking at me and no longer has vision of the dog which was causing her to start acting up, but after a few times of this we continue to walk pass the dog and with ease! but of course if it is too much, i always take another route :D and ill check out the vids thanks so much for the recommendations!

Hi everyone! I have a 2yr old gsdxhusky female named Ahri. Ive been working on Ahri dog reactivity for just over a year now by myself and around 2-3 months ago we've reached the point where can walk past most dogs without her exploding! Ive gotten alot of help online, instagram, facebook, youtube and contacting balanced trainers from America etc and theyve helped me alot with Ahri's behaviour and educating me. Im really glad there are other people out there working and training their reactive dog(s) or any behaviour problems theyre experiencing. Anyways a quick update on our training, Thursday morning at 9:10am i took Ahri to the park and did some training in an empty car park, did awesome, recall was awesome, there werent really any distractions for us to practice but its w.e After around 40min we see 2 dogs Ahri has met and gotten along with before, we go to them but before we do i put Ahri in a sit stay so i can adjust her prong incase she misbehaves, i then release her to go say hi. I talk to the owner for around 20min while carefully watching Ahri socialise awkwardly with the other dogs, she was very talkative this morning -_- husky side of her.. but she did great, listened to my commands very nicely! anyways thats it! hope i can get advice from other trainers/handlers or give advice! thanks for reading!

this was so informative thank u so much! past 5 months of so we've been challenging her dog reactivity and we can now walk right past a dog, just some bad days where she does react badly but shes doing great! ill take things slow, one problem ive noticed bout myself is that im always rushing when training instead of going slow and at my dogs pace but ill work hard!

wow thank u so much! lately ive been doing alot of engagement work w my dog to strengthen our recall and relationship/trust. ive been taking a break from the prong barely use it unless need to now! which im super happy bout, ill be more aware of her body language when training! thanks again!

ive been meditating alot and its helped alot ^_^

1 year update my dudes B) ive learnt alot during this time, and my frustrated mind blurted out all this nonsense and wrong ways of dog training in past (i have to honestly admit). Answer to my own question and to maybe other dog handlers. Take a deep breath. This isnt the end of the world. Think about your dog FIRST, where is your dog at in training? Can they accomplish this without exploding or behaving badly? Taake small steps. and relaaaaaaax From: 2019 me
