Look no further because we've got you covered. In this week's podcast, Pam discusses the top locations to take your furry friend, ensuring a happy and stress-free experience for both of you.

When it comes to walking a reactive dog, space is key. That's why we recommend starting with a quiet residential street area where your dog can stay calm and comfortable. But timing is also crucial, so make sure to choose a time of day when fewer people and dogs are around.

If you're fortunate enough to live in a countryside or natural area, take advantage of the extra space and let your dog explore. Consider using a long line to give them more freedom to roam. Beaches and wooded areas are also excellent options, providing plenty of space and reduced stimulation.

Finally, outdoor areas such as parks and trails can be great choices for a peaceful walk. Just remember to prioritize your dog's safety and comfort by choosing less crowded and more relaxed locations.

Don't let your reactive dog hold you back from enjoying the great outdoors this summer.
