On this episode of Canine Master, host Chris Onthank teams up with Jaimee Kelsey, Director of Training at Dog Gone Smart, to tackle one of the most common behavior challenges dog owners face: leash reactivity. Why does your dog act like a totally different animal the second you clip on the leash? Chris and Jamie explain the “fight or flight” dilemma, how body language can be misinterpreted on walks, and what you can do to prevent aggressive or fearful leash behavior. Plus, they break down the best tools for walking your dog—why retractable leashes might be a no-go, and which harnesses and leads get two paws up. If you’ve ever wondered why your sweet pup turns into Cujo on a leash, this episode is for you!
