High-Traffic Neighborhoods and Leash Reactivity

Dense neighborhoods mean constant stimulation other dogs, cyclists, delivery bikes, groups of people on sidewalks. For a reactive dog, this is overwhelming. We teach specific techniques for managing arousal, building threshold, and teaching your dog to look to you instead of exploding toward every passing trigger.
