My Dog is Fearful and Does Not Want to Go On Walks
Wednesday, 10 September, 2025
In this Ask Cindy Q and A, Ed reads a viewer’s question about a skittish dog who hesitates when being called to have his leash put on. The owner has been using the recall command to bring the dog over, but the hesitation and slow response raised concerns about whether corrections or adjustments were needed. Cindy explains why it’s best not to use a formal recall command in this situation, and instead teaches viewers how to create a positive association with leashing up by using a new verbal cue, pairing it with rewards, and practicing inside without the added stress of going outside every time. She also shares tips for helping nervous dogs build confidence and avoid rehearsing avoidance behaviors, like hiding under furniture. | Links mentioned: Getting Started with Reward Based Training Bundle - https://leerburg.com/reward-based-training-bundle.php
