What would be my process of introducing a fear reactive dog to a new person in their home?

  • Summary

  • When you have a dog with fear reactivity, it can be hard to know how to introduce them to people in your home.

    In this episode, I answer Caicos' question from Instagram about how to introduce a fear reactive dog to a new guest in their home. 

    I discuss the benefits of keeping their guest informed, and then muzzle training their dog. 

    Breaking down the process is really important, and steps like 

    - Adding smells (a good trick is to take your guest's shoes off before they come over) 

    - Taking walks together 

    - Recognising where the dangers may be  makes the process a lot easier!
