It Is Time To Tackle Your Dogs Reactivity!
Living with a dog who inappropriately reacts to dogs and humans inside or outside of your home can be extremely stressful and have a negative impact on all areas of your life. If you are ready to pacify your reactive dog and get to the root of the issue, this course if for you! In this 8 week course you will learn everything you need to start living a happier and safer life with your dog.
How It Works!
This 8 week course is designed to make learning easy and fun! The first 4 weeks will be taught virtually, so you and your dog can learn in a stress free and distraction free environment. Taking a reactive dog to a class is not conducive for learning until the human has a general understanding of how to handle and calm their reactive dog. Weeks one through four, we will dive into what causes reactivity, how to prevent and safely control it, as well as learn new skills that allow your dog to be calm in the presence of triggers. The last 4 weeks will be taught in a combination of group classes with role players and private sessions in your home or neighborhood.
There is also a private Facebook group you will be entered in to share videos and questions for lifetime support from our amazing trainers!
