Good questions
Before you begin.
Why does my dog lunge at other dogs?
Reasons include fear, frustration, lack of practice and pain. A trainer looks at the pattern before choosing a plan.
What is distance work?
It means practicing at a spot far enough from the trigger that your dog stays calm, then closing the gap in small steps. It is slow on purpose.
Is a muzzle a sign of failure?
No. A well-fitted basket muzzle taught with treats is a safety tool that lets some dogs practice more safely. Ask a qualified trainer to introduce it.
Should I keep walking my dog?
Often yes, but on quiet routes and at off-peak times. A trainer can help you plan routes that avoid surprises.
