What we cover: Does your dog change personality when you clip on the leash? Does he suddenly bark and lunge at other dogs, bicycles, skateboarders, passersby? This common but unfortunate behavior is called "leash reactivity" and with careful training and management, you can make future leash walks much more pleasant for your dog, yourself, and everyone you meet on your way.

Take the beastliness out of your leash walks.
