A lot of people are told to socialise their dog…

But no one explains what that actually means.

So dogs are constantly put into situations where they’re expected to interact, greet, and engage.

And over time… that becomes the expectation.
See a dog = react.

What we focus on instead is teaching dogs the opposite.

See a dog… and stay neutral.
Walk past… and keep moving.
No tension. No reaction. No chaos.

That’s the foundation for everything else.

If your dog struggles with this, start simple:

Give yourself enough distance so your dog can stay calm.
Keep moving — don’t stop and let them fixate.
Don’t allow them to drag you over to dogs or people.
Build the habit of walking past, not engaging.

Most people get this wrong — save this so you don’t.
