I'm meeting more and more dogs who start out every walk already so excited that anything they see can set them to barking and lunging. The customary approach of trying to teach obedience skills and train the dog to white-knuckle its way through a stay or watch me despite being madly aroused is backwards. I'm helping people like Indy's family address the arousal itself. Here's a picture showing her tense body language in our first visit. Watch this space for the update.
