[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen large reactive dogs on walks in my neighborhood and the owner is doing absolutely nothing to stop the behavior.

All they need to do is get the dog to sit, distract them / block their view of the passer by who they're barking at and reward them for sitting still.

We did this with our dog and it worked. And he was huge and strong. It's like these owners don't even know the word "no" and aren't willing to try it.[/quote]

Way to generalize!  Not all dogs care about food rewards or can be distracted.  Just like kids, some dogs have challenging personalities.  Also note this doesn’t work when two dogs passing have the same issue.  So many times in our neighborhood the owner chooses this method and forces the other dog to walk by.[/quote]

Most people do this already. Get out of the house more.

and yet you offer zero possible solutions, how helpful.  :roll: [/quote]

Not PP, but the solution is to walk your dog on the right side of the road. This is America, we drive on the right side of the road, standers on the Metro stand on the right side of the escalator; you should walk your dog on the right side of the road. The owner who is walking on the left should cross the street when approaching another dog unless he knows the dogs get along. Simple, and yet most people don't do it.[/quote][/quote]

Most people are doing this. This is not a solution, this is normal practice. Also you get on every single dog thread and talk about walking in the right IN AMERICA like you're speaking to a bunch of ignorant people. You're offensive and limited. I doubt you even have a dog.[/quote]
