😂 Behind the scenes of filming "How to Help a Cavalier Who Is Scared of the Leash"...

Angel Dexter was being such a silly monkey during this shoot! I was trying to demonstrate how to gently introduce the harness, and he kept nose-targeting it on his own. Like, "Mom, I KNOW this game, let me show you how it's done!"

If you watch the video, you'll notice I even say "ignore the touching of the harness" because he was being so enthusiastic about it. That's the beauty of teaching dogs young and keeping training fun—they actually WANT to participate.

Your Cavalier might not be as confident with the leash yet, and that's completely okay. We all start somewhere.

Let's help your pup build that same confidence! 💙

💙 If your Cavalier is scared of the leash and you feel stuck, you do not have to figure this out alone.

I know what it's like to watch your dog panic when you bring out the harness. It's frustrating, heartbreaking, and sometimes you just need someone who gets it to talk you through your specific situation.

That's exactly what my private phone and Skype sessions are for.

We can talk through your Cavalier's specific history, what you're seeing in their body language, and I can help you create a gentle, realistic plan that feels doable for both of you. We'll take it at your dog's pace, not some cookie-cutter timeline.

If you watched my video on helping a Cavalier who is scared of the leash and you're ready for personalized support, I'd love to work with you.

🐾 Does your Cavalier flatten like a pancake when you bring out the leash?

You know, I've worked with so many families whose dogs go into a full panic when they see the harness and leash coming. Some run and hide. Some freeze. And it breaks my heart every time.

But here's what I want you to know: this fear is something we can work through, gently and at your dog's pace.

In my next video, I'm going to show you exactly how to help a Cavalier who is scared of the leash. We'll start from scratch, take it step by step, and I'll demonstrate with Dexter so you can see exactly what this looks like in real life.

If your Cavalier is nervous about the leash, this one's for you.

It’s live! 🎥🐾 Last week I shared a little teaser, and now the full video is up on my Cavalier channel.

One of my favorite tips for helping dogs feel better about vet visits?
👍 Bring them in when they don’t need anything. Just pop by for a few treats, gentle handling, and a positive experience. No shots, no exams, no pressure.

These no-stress visits can go a long way toward helping your dog feel safe and confident over time.
