However, for shy, fearful, or excitable dogs, the prospect of encountering unfamiliar people and dogs during walks can be overwhelming. With patience and understanding, you can help your dog or clients and their dogs enjoy positive interactions during greetings on walks and other outings.<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2 e24085-e9 mil1-a mil1-b\"><div class=\"x-frame x-frame-video-embed e24085-e10 mil1-h mil1-i\"><div class=\"x-frame-inner\"><div class=\"x-video x-video-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/900625902?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1920\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" title=\"CTCcanIPetYourDog (1)\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-container max width e24085-e11 mil1-3 mil1-5 mil1-7 mil1-9\"><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1 e24085-e12 mil1-a\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e24085-e13 mil1-e mil1-g blog-links\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this video, KPA faculty member Emma Parsons demonstrates how to use controlled introductions to make encounters with new people less overwhelming. As you will see in the video, the handler cues the dog, Marla, to stand behind her when Emma approaches. The handler is creating a safe space and comforting anchor, allowing Marla to observe and assess the situation without feeling overwhelmed. Once Marla is stationed behind the handler calmly, Emma presents her hand, and the handler cues Marla to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/karenpryoracademy.com\/teach-your-dog-to-hand-target\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">touch her nose to Emma&rsquo;s hand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The simple but effective hand-target technique fosters a friendly and controlled greeting and creates a positive association with new faces. Always reward a dog when they offer calm behavior during greetings. Pay attention to the dog&rsquo;s body language and cues. If the dog shows signs of distress, allow them to retreat behind you or gently guide them away from the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a trainer and want to learn the ground-breaking Click to Calm method, tools, and techniques that award-winning author and behavior specialist Emma Parsons has used to help hundreds of her clients and their dogs, check out KPA&rsquo;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/karenpryoracademy.com\/courses\/click-to-calm-for-instructors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click to Calm for Instructors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a dog guardian looking for solutions, check out Emma&rsquo;s latest book, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.clickertraining.com\/collections\/dog-training-books\/products\/the-new-click-to-calm-solutions-for-all-dogs-in-a-challenging-world?variant=39525854118071\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The New Click to Calm<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or consult with one of our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/karenpryoracademy.com\/find-a-trainer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certified Training Partners<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy Training!<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e24085-e14 mil1-0 mil1-2\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e24085-e15 mil1-j mil1-k\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e24085-e16 mil1-l\"><div class=\"cs-content x-global-block x-global-block-22358 e24085-e17\"><div class=\"x-section e22358-e2 mh92-0\" id=\"blog-cta-section\"><div class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e22358-e3 mh92-1 mh92-2 mh92-3\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e22358-e4 mh92-5 mh92-6\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e22358-e5 mh92-8 mh92-9 mh92-a mh92-b mh92-c mh92-d mh92-e mh92-f mh92-g mh92-h mh92-i mh92-j blog-cta-headline\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Cultivate Calm<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"x-line e22358-e6 mh92-13\"\/><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e22358-e7 mh92-9 mh92-b mh92-c mh92-f mh92-k mh92-l mh92-m mh92-n mh92-o blog-cta-sub\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Learn the award-winning Click to Calm methodology for transforming unwanted, reactive, and aggressive dog behavior with Emma Parsons.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline x-hide-lg x-hide-md x-hide-sm x-hide-xl x-hide-xs e22358-e8 mh92-b mh92-c mh92-f mh92-n mh92-o mh92-p mh92-q\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"><p>Hurry, sale ends tonight at 11:59 pm (ET)<\/p><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><a class=\"x-anchor x-anchor-button e22358-e9 mh92-14 mh92-15\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/karenpryoracademy.com\/courses\/click-to-calm-for-instructors\/\"><div class=\"x-anchor-content\"><div class=\"x-anchor-text\"><span class=\"x-anchor-text-primary\">LEARN MORE<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section x-hide-lg x-hide-md x-hide-sm x-hide-xl x-hide-xs e22358-e10 mh92-0\"><div class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e22358-e11 mh92-1 mh92-2 mh92-4\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e22358-e12 mh92-5 mh92-7\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e22358-e13 mh92-b mh92-e mh92-f mh92-h mh92-j mh92-o mh92-p mh92-r mh92-s\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Save 20% During Train Your Dog Month!<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline x-hide-lg x-hide-md x-hide-sm x-hide-xl x-hide-xs e22358-e14 mh92-9 mh92-a mh92-b mh92-d mh92-h mh92-o mh92-s mh92-t mh92-u mh92-v mh92-w mh92-x\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Offer ends this Saturday, January 31, at 11:59 pm (ET).<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e22358-e15 mh92-8 mh92-9 mh92-a mh92-b mh92-f mh92-l mh92-m mh92-n mh92-o mh92-v mh92-y mh92-z\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Learn the award-winning Click to Calm methodology for transforming unwanted, reactive, and aggressive dog behavior with Emma Parsons.
