Leash pop + the “let’s go” cue = the most underrated tactic to combat reactivity.
Of course, you can’t bring these into training until the dog is accustomed to both on their own.
They need to be familiar with leash pressure and clear on the “let’s go” marker before you combine them next to a trigger.
But once they are…I love the combining of these two because it allows you to get closer to the trigger faster while still maintaining a 75-85% success rate.
That said, you may need to increase the level of correction based on where you are at and the arousal state. Watch the full video to see what I mean.
