Socialization for Lucy & Yoshi.
Both Lucy & Yoshi are reactive around dogs they do not know. They will bark and lunge. Today we are working on basic social behaviors. If you have a dog that is reactive and barks and/or lunges at other dogs, people, or objects, this video can help. Whenever your dog reacts negatively to something, mark the unwanted behavior with an "Uh-uh" or "Uh-oh" and move the dog away in the opposite direction. Once the dog calms down a bit, go back towards whatever made them react. If the dog reacts negatively again, repeat the "Uh-Uh" and move away. The distance a dog can be to an object without reacting is what we call the threshold. What we do with this kind of training is work on decreasing that threshold.
