SWITCH

This is a simple exercise to help manage and improve the behaviour of your fearful and / or reactive dog.

For example, you are on the street and another person approaches with their dog or on a bike and you wish to get your body in between them and your dog to help them get it right.

Steps

Walking along take a couple of steps behind your dog and then move your body closer to them.

As you start to move put the cue word Switch in.

Do this at any point not just when a dog, person or noise is near.
