Potential challenges: On leash reactivity/barrier frustration
Potential challenges comments: On leash reactivity/barrier frustration: At the care center, Basquiat has been observed to react to other dogs on leash, lunging towards them, barking and growling. Basquiat may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach him to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior.
