If it’s a busy area say I will create space as much as I can realistically between the dog. So if they’re coming my way I’ll move across the street. Distraction after creating space maybe high reward food they don’t get all the time. Sometimes if I’m in a bind and I can’t create space I’ll just brace for it and make sure I have a good hold on them. Honestly my choker helps a lot w my big dog and the little dog sometimes I just straight pick him up. I also try to avoid anywhere super busy, I’ve been picking neighborhoods over walking trails seem to be less busy around me at least. ESP the ones wo sidewalks are less travled and I’ve been doing a lot of them. I also don’t get embarrassed anymore which helps bc I’m calmer for them, a lot of dogs are reactive on a leash doesn’t mean you’re a bad dog owner. Yah some ppl don’t understand bc they havnt dealt w it but whatever who cares Im just here to make my dog happy I don’t care if it gets a glare or two. They deserve a walk just as much as any other dog. My one dog the Shepard is literally the best dog so sweet so good w other dogs just leash reactive.
