Sean gives you a two-step game plan in this week’s homework to teach your dog to have perpetual awareness of you and settle in their nervous system when seeing and meeting with other dogs.

DETAILS IN THIS SESSION
Meeting other dogs
Phase 1: approach and retreat: this section has two goals for your dog:
- Stay mentally aware of me
- Govern your nervous system when there’s distraction around
Phase 2: The meeting
- Have your dog on a short BUT LOOSE leash
- Make the meeting short
- Verbally cue your dog away with a “let’s go” (rather than just giving a little leash pop alone)
