My puppy (10 months now) has always been really excitable when passing other dogs. Thankfully she’s never been a big barker, but she loves to start jumping, lunging, and pulling when another dog is within 15 feet or so on walks. My partner and I have been working with her day in and day out to curb this behavior since adopting her at 3 months and no dice. Until finally. I’m not sure what clicked, but now we can reliably lure her with treats to our side when passing other dogs. No more jumping or pulling.
To anyone out there who is feeling really defeated and like you failed as a dog owner for whatever issue you may be having, stick with it. It WILL get better!
