Inside the Field Guide
One ordinary walk, slowed down.
A dog appears ahead. The sniffing stops. Your dog stays facing the other pair while you are still deciding what to do. The guide stays inside that moment long enough to see it, without asking your dog to live through a hard encounter.
- What changed first, and why that sentence is more useful than “my dog is being difficult.”
- How to tell a route that looks open from a route you can actually use.
- Why your invitation and your dog’s response are two separate events.
- One small observation to carry home on your next ordinary walk.
It comes from Phase One of The Whole Dog, small live online classes with Lorrie J. Harris, beginning Wednesday, December 9.
If your dog has a bite history, or you are worried about safety right now, a group class is not the right place to begin. Let’s have a chat first, and we will find the right next step together, beginning with a Meet & Greet.
The Whole Dog is educational. It is not a guarantee of any particular behavior outcome, and it is not veterinary or medical treatment.
