    Hats off to you for taking him. It must have meant so much to him.

    Nothing but the utmost respect ✊

    I would try to shorten this up and submit it to Robert via AMA form as he would provide the best guidance for this but I’ll pitch in my 2 cents.

    It’s hard to understand why the reactivity would get worse without me seeing what exactly you are doing and how you are handling it. If her reactivity is increasing as she is not meeting dogs then she may just be trying to find a way to get you to let her see them. If she starts acting worse and you give in, then she learns that she just has to act out enough for you to let her go. I would keep working obedience and increasing your dogs attention to you in the presence of other dogs. You may need to work this at a distance and gradually get closer. Personally if this was my dog, she would not be meeting any other dogs. She doesn’t seem to have any real problems and contrary to popular belief, your dog doesn’t have to meet other dogs in order to be well socialized. My dog has never played with another dog with the exception of my other dog and he’s pretty neutral around other dogs. The same goes for Robert’s dogs too from my understanding.

    Hope any of this helps you out, just be patient and consistent and you’ll be ok. 😁

      I forgot to mention that Robert has a vid called something along the lines of “good manners and meeting dogs.” He was helping a couple with their mini schnauzer, LJ, and he explains some of this. You might get a lot out of it

    Absolutely without a doubt!

    Every donation no matter the size would help and it’s the least that we could do for those who are putting their lives on the line whether it be human or K9

    I would probably go back to the luring phase and keep my lure right by my hip. If he still goes too far out then I would just lure him in closer and release.

    Every time he’s in proper position I would release and reward, and I probably wouldn’t add any other elements into the exercise until you have the desired positioning.

    I would love to see what others say or if they have any secrets in their toolbox

    Here’s a post I made of me and Dixon working on the focused heel.

    He just about dwarfs me in size lol! I promise he’s just really tall, I’m not that short.

    Any feedback is appreciated

    That is a truly beautiful thing, and I’m so happy for you. Dogs do so much for us without wanting anything in return. I can relate because I felt emotionally lost before I got involved with the dog lifestyle. It felt like a void that I couldn’t fill, but training and caring for my dogs has made me more happy than I have ever been at any other point in my life.
