How is Evel Knievel relevant to dog behaviour?
I’ll tell you!! 😂😂 my favourite toy when I was a kid!
Pull him back, wind him up, rev him up and he will go nuts!
Same as you’re doing to a dog when you allow them to talk to other dogs on lead!
Rev them up, keep winding them up and allow them to interact with other dogs on lead, build the frustration, build it some more, pull them back again and they’ll want to race forward!
So many people are literally walking wound up toys ready to explode after they’ve caused it - but then they want to blame the dog… or wave treats under their noses 😔😜
Teaching neutrality and focus on you rather than interacting with dogs is the key to stopping the frustration!!
