Rushed By An Off-Leash Service Dog: How to Handle Stressful Situations

Ever been rushed by an off-leash dog and felt your heart rocket straight into your throat? Yeah… same. And then you see it's wearing a service dog vest ...

In this video, I break down a recent moment where an off-leash service dog came barreling toward my dogs and I—and I did not keep my cool.

But instead of just replaying the chaos, I’m sharing what to actually do in the moment, how to keep your dog safe, and how to reframe these encounters as productive training opportunities instead of panic spirals. If you’ve ever been caught off guard (or worry you will be), this one’s for you.
