Is your dog REALLY staying away because he has something he knows he should not have? Or is your dog staying away because he has something he values, and he does not want you to take it from him? More than likely, it is the later.

She is a sensitive dog and tends to approach with a wiggly but lowered body posture and tail; and will roll over and expose her belly when she gets to the person or dog. In this blog post, I’ll talk about sensitive dogs (also referred to as soft dogs), and how I helped Maisey have confidence in coming to me.

Usually, the topic comes up when they tell me about their reactive dog on leash, making a generality about their dog’s leash behavior. Let’s reframe our thoughts about having a social dog.
