Hi everyone, I would love to get some feedback on how I can stop my 7 month old Border Collie Marlo from lunging at cars when walking near a road… It’s definitely his most dangerous habit and something I would like to work on stopping asap. Any experience with this or guidance would be amazing please 🙏

This one was a massive deep dive into teaching REAL calmness in the car. Not just “quiet”… not just “stop barking”… but actual nervous system regulation and impulse control. We covered: 🐾 What the car currently means to your dog 🐾 Why so many dogs become over-aroused before they even arrive somewhere 🐾 The adrenaline/reward loop most owners accidentally build 🐾 How to completely reset your dog’s emotional response to the car 🐾 Teaching a proper down-stay in the car like place training 🐾 How to train calm behaviour when you’re the only person in the vehicle 🐾 Vet anxiety, excitement, pacing, whining, barking and anticipation 🐾 The difference between suppression vs genuine calmness One of the biggest takeaways:The car is one of the BEST places to teach emotional regulation because it’s structured, repeatable and predictable. Calm is a skill.And skills can be trained 👊🏼 Drop your questions, biggest takeaways or your dog’s current car struggles below and let’s keep helping each other level up 🐾🔥 as promised link to further information - https://www.notion.so/Teaching-Calm-in-the-Car-36b3fa98cc5f8006af8eef57335523d4?source=copy_link
