“I was so focused on being a positive trainer. This was all me…I couldn’t figure out what the gap was. Shamas loved training but remained reactive on walks.

Then I forgot the treat bag, and walked naturally, bringing him in close and to the other side when dogs came near. I told him: I got this, don’t worry.

What a change! Shamas didn’t need more training, he needed to know that he could trust me to handle it!

We’re a month into walks without training. Shamas has stopped lunging and barking at other dogs, showing no fear, just a little excitement!!”
