In this video I show you how you can use "blocking" to limit your dog's space and establish distance control - without a leash. Dogs are very aware of space and often communicate by claiming space. With your body, your hand or even just your gaze you can signal to your dog to pause and orient itself towards you. I explain why relying on the leash is not always the best solution and how you can teach your dog to pay attention to your signals instead. Blocking is a simple and effective method that helps both in everyday life and in special situations such as getting out of the car, on a walk or at the front door. In the video I guide you step by step through the training so that your dog develops more self-control and avoids undesirable behavior. With clear, physical signals you help him to regulate himself better and react more attentively to you - whether on the leash or running free. Watch the video to learn how to lead your dog safely with simple exercises and deepen your communication. I would be delighted if you shared your experiences and told me how blocking worked for you! Have fun!
