Why This Matters

Greetings and walks are exciting moments where clear routines help pets make calmer choices.

How To Apply This At Home

  • Practice before the exciting moment.
  • Reward four paws on the floor.
  • Increase distractions slowly.

What To Watch For

Watch for pulling, jumping, barking or arousal that rises too quickly.

When To Get Extra Support

For fear, aggression, guarding or separation distress, work with a qualified trainer or veterinary behavior professional.
