These behaviours can be embarrassing, frustrating, and at times scary for even the most experienced dog owner. While it can feel isolating, leash reactivity is more common than you may realize.
Reactivity R&R is a collaborative program designed by certified dog trainers: Ali Medina De La Vega, Megan Thornton and Sarah Hosick. They found many of their individual clients had similar difficulties working on their dog’s reactivity – number one being a way to practice safely – and so, the R&R program was created.
This specialized 7 week class will provide you with a safe environment in which to understand your dog and work together to prevent, manage, and heal their reactivity.
The first class is held online, enabling a low-stress introduction to new skills and knowledge as well as your classmates who are experiencing the same or similar challenges with their dogs.
Each subsequent class will be held outdoors, in multiple locations. Working outside ensures each dog has enough space to feel safe and it allows us to practice real-life scenarios.
For a well-rounded approach, each week consists of two types of classes:
Management skills – how to have calmer neighbourhood walks and work in proximity to other dogs, and
Socialization foundations – how to facilitate distanced, low-pressure natural approaches to dogs.
Enrolment is limited to 6 dogs, which ensures a 2:1 ratio of student to certified trainers, providing ample opportunity for individual attention and guidance.
Outside of class time, trainer support will be available for the duration of the program via a group messaging service. Once completed, clients will be able to continue their progress with on-going Management Skills and Socialization Foundations classes.

“There are not many classes available purely concentrating on the issue of reactive dogs. Joining the class with other owners dealing with the same issues was helpful and the trainers gave good insights into why my dog was behaving the way she was. They had lots of tips and tricks for us to use to manage the unwanted behaviours. Ali, Megh

“ I am so glad our vet recommended the Barking Tree Reactivity R&R program. It was exactly what we needed. I’ve gone from feelings of overwhelm and dread when walking my dog (on the worst days) to feeling more confident and knowing we have the tools to help her and us!R&R offers a safe, trusting, and judgement free environment that makes it easier for dogs and the humans to learn. We enjoyed the small class and 2x a week format that gives time to reflect and practice between sessions. The trainers (Sarah, Megan, and Ali and their neutral dogs) are simply wonderful - knowledgeable and compassionate. We highly recommend this program - you and your dog will be happier for it!”

“We also had the pleasure of working with Ali again in the Reactivity R&R program she co-runs with Sweetgrass Dogs and Paws in the Dirt. This program gave us real-life skills that we could use on everyday walks and helped to address the root causes of our dog's reactivity. The classes were very effective, helped to make training fun and took the well-being of all participant dogs into account. We appreciated working with 3 like-minded professionals and the dog to trainer ratio ensured everyone got one-on-one coaching time."
