What would be my process of introducing a fear reactive dog to a new person in their home?
03/28/23 • 4 min
When you have a dog with fear reactivity, it can be hard to know how to introduce them to people in your home.
In this episode, I answer Caicos' question from Instagram about how to introduce a fear reactive dog to a new guest in their home.
I discuss the benefits of keeping their guest informed, and then muzzle training their dog.
Breaking down the process is really important, and steps like
- Adding smells (a good trick is to take your guest's shoes off before they come over)
- Taking walks together
- Recognising where the dangers may be makes the process a lot easier!
