Reactivity in Herding Breed Dogs

Herding breed dogs are growing in popularity in pet homes, and the number one complaint is that they are reactive on walks. Lungling, growling, barking, and other seemingly over the top behaviours can make it challenging to walk our dogs, and most of us are embarrassed or frustrated with them. It's time to rethink your reactive herding breed dog. Emily Priestley, CTC, CDBC, specializes in helping these dogs live their best lives in pet homes. Packed with information, Reactivity in Herding Breed Dogs will help you understand what reactivity is, why your dog is the way they are, how to help them, and common mistakes to avoid. You'll get helpful plans to use with your trainer to maximize your handling and turn you into a pro. Emily is a multi-certified trainer and the author of Urban Sheepdog, a guide to understanding herding breed dogs in pet homes. She lives on the west coast of Canada with her family and a group of herders, some sheep and unruly but entertaining chickens.
