Calm Walks, Real Streets: Your 6-Week Plan for a Reactive Dog

Your dog barks, lunges or freezes on walks. Here's a kind, 6-week plan for calmer walks on real streets.

Most reactive-dog advice assumes wide sidewalks and quiet parks. This workbook is built for real streets: no sidewalks, blind corners, fence dogs, loose dogs and apartment elevators. It uses reward-based methods and gives you a clear week-by-week plan and a way to measure real progress.

Inside you'll get:

- Why your dog reacts: fear, frustration and the 'stress bucket'

- Gear, safety and positive muzzle training

- Seven foundation games, from the name game to the emergency U-turn

- Escape routes for no-sidewalk roads, blind corners and fence dogs

- Scripts for neighbors, strangers, vets and off-leash dog owners

- What to do after a bad walk, and when to call a professional

Who it's for: Owners of dogs who react on leash, including new rescue dogs.

What you get: a 40-page PDF workbook with 12 printable pages. Instant download. Read it on any device, or print the worksheets.
