Ep 71 When Walks Go Flat, Dealing with The Pancake Dog & Mitten Games
Have you ever been on a walk where your dog decides to stop dead in their tracks, refusing to move? They might also lie down and flatten themselves on the ground making it even harder to move them on without dragging them across the pavement (or sidewalk for the Americans). We call this “pancaking”! In this episode, you’ll be introduced to the “pancake dog”. We’ll talk about why they do it and what you can do about it (without having to drag them along behind you!). We’ll be sharing some top tips and strategies for those dogs that just seem to freeze at the sight of another dog, person or other trigger, the ones that flatten at the thought of a walk or those that can’t seem to make it out the door or back home without becoming a pancake!................Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!Want to join the Help!
