This class is designed to teach you how to best interact with your own dog that is overly reactive to other dogs, people and in novel circumstances (a motor cycle speeds by unexpectedly, a trash can is left on the sidewalk, etc.). We use progressive positive behavior conditioning to develop new responses to situations that prompt your dog to over-react. This class will accommodate only 6 dogs to ensure effective learning and practice. All participants must complete a questionnaire that will be submitted at the first class meeting. The first week of class is a required orientation for people only. Dogs do not attend the first week so participants can focus on information without managing their reactive dogs. You may also be contacted by one of our experienced instructors prior to the first class to discuss specific issues/needs. Be prepared to learn new ways of relating to your dog that will increase their ability to handle challenging situations.
