Dog training and behaviour can be about the subtleties in a situation …An example that can happen and be accumulative in nature, is from when you undertake the recall (the ‘Come’) after your dog has been off leash and you regularly put your dog straight back onto a short leash. This restriction can be too much of a negative for some, discouraging the recall. I would aim to have the lead fairly loose (knowing that not too far away you can bring your dog in if you like) or vary the length here.Also, when meeting other dogs out and about, do you tighten your grip on your dogs lead or tense up? Both possibly even before you are in the physical realm of the other dog? These actions are cautionary signals to your dog (as well as to the other dog) that their is indeed a problem with the situation, beware of this, Selina McIntyre, Dog Behavioural Consultant & Dog Trainer, Dogs Best Friend
