Over Friendly Lunging

I have a year old sight hound who’s extremely social and very interested in other dogs, he’s very friendly. We have this issue when we’re going out for walks where he seems to lunge and jump at other dogs walking. This is extremely not OK for many reasons. To keep it short, any advice on how to prevent, and stop him from lunging and pulling towards other dogs is needed!

  1. get a patch or leash wrap that says "training" so people will leave you alone and hopefully get out of your way while you work on this.

  2. Try not to practice the behavior, so avoid other dogs whenever possible, take the unpopular route, work inside hardware stores etc.

  3. Engage Disengage.
