Will you walk with your dog on our social walks? Also available for English speaking people.

Dogs are, by definition, social creatures.

It is important to know how dogs communicate with each other. Nowadays, we see a lot of miscommunication between dogs because they do not learn how to communicate dog-like.

Dogs hiding behind their owner.
Dogs that often end up in small fights
Dogs that are insecure and snap away from themselves.
Dogs that lie down at a distance from another dog in anticipation of the encounter
Stalling dogs
Dogs that run hard at another dog
Dogs that are very busy and clowning around in front of other dogs.

All signs of less social skills.

During Van Stal social walks, we talk about social interactions.

How do you ensure a comfortable walk, what do you do and what do you teach your dog?

How to ensure a safe and interactive walk between you and your dog without fuss.
This is done in safe environments, to provide as much space and choices that dogs need.

*If you have a dog that struggles to be relaxed around other dogs, we recommend you join the reactive dog course first, then the reactive dog follow-up walks are more appropriate.
