Some working dogs aren’t looking to play with every dog they see. They’re looking for a JOB.
When you have a driven working dog whose mind is wired to GO, GO, GO, simply taking them for a walk without structure or purpose can create frustration. Now add unfamiliar dogs getting in their face, and that frustration can turn into reactivity.
Your working dog needs more than exercise. They need direction.
Before taking your dog around other dogs, give them a job. Build structure, engagement, and self-control so they learn how to channel that drive instead of letting it control them.
Stop expecting your working dog to figure it out on their own. Give them a system they can follow.
