When walking your dog and you see a dog walking towards you, stay calm, and as you approach and you have space, "bubble out” by veering away from that dog’s path. If your dog is doing great and staying calm, start marking & rewarding your dog for looking at you or calmly looking at the dog-like shown above in the Counter Condition and Desensitization section. If your dog continues to bark and react you can use an Interrupter, such as the Doggie Don't or Pet Convincer. If needed you can step in front of your dog to add spatial/distance pressure. If your dog reacts again repeat the light pressure up and forward until your dog sits and relaxes. If your dog stays seated calmly great, you can give verbal praise. If there is not enough space, like many parts of Brooklyn to "Bubble Out" walk your dog to the side in possibly between two trees to give the other dog as much space as possible and use light pressure up and forward until your dog sits and then release the pressure. This technique is best taught with a Transitional leash or Halti but can work with a slip leash, martingale, or pinch collar as well.
