Great podcast! plus a quick question
Thanks for the great content! I have a 1 year old gsd/border collie/dane/pit mix dealing with some leash reactivity. He grew up in the shelter so his puppyhood wasn’t built around calm interactions with other dogs. He doesn’t necessarily bark when seeing other dogs but he gets himself into a tizzy and I can see his excitement and/or anxiety escalating. I generally ask him for either a heel, sit or down when we see another dog to give him something to focus on. If he listens I reward with praise or a treat. If he blows me off and keeps focusing on the other dog I will give either a leash correction or ecollar correction. I understand it take time and repetition to start seeing change but here is my concern. When I give him a correction he will bark loudly and get snappy towards me. It’s like a pressure cooker getting released. I understand that he’s getting built up by the sight of the other dog and me snapping him out of it in the moment is what’s causing the “redirected aggression”. What would you do differently in this situation? There are situations in which I want to snap him out of the intense eye contact and the building but I also don’t like seeing the backlash when I do so.
