A reward-based plan to calm barking and lunging on walks, handle other dogs and strangers, and enjoy walks again, from doorbells and bikes to vet visits and multi-dog homesBy Imad MuratspahicLength3h 45m
About this audiobook
Your dog is wonderful at home on the couch, and then a dog appears across the street, the doorbell rings, a bike glides past, or you walk into the vet's waiting room. Barking, lunging, growling, hiding behind your legs. You have rerouted walks, closed the blinds and apologized to strangers until it feels easier to stay inside. Reactive Dog Training is a patient, reward-based plan for owners of dogs who bark, lunge or growl at other dogs, people, bikes, cars and everyday moments, driven by fear, frustration or overexcitement rather than meanness. It starts where most books skip: the whole day. Sleep, exercise, enrichment and home setups come first, so your dog is not already overloaded when the walk begins, and then the training builds step by step. This is not a rescue-dog decompression guide, a body-language decoder, a book about barking at nothing, or a loose-leash-walking manual. It is the everyday plan for a dog who reacts at the window, at the door, on the sidewalk, in the elevator and on the exam table, with fill-in protocol cards and progress logs so you can see real improvement. Inside, you'll learn: You do not need a dog who ignores the world.
