Dogs State of Mind

Your dog is leash reactive, so don't wait until your dog explodes, at the first sign of arousal you would apply your punisher. What you are going to hear from others is that you should not do that because then your dog will have a negative association with whatever you are punishing for..thats the big lie, thats the unethcial response, thats the thing that keeps owners from being succesful, your dog ALREADY has a negative association with whatever they are being reactive to.
