Reactivity R&R Program
Does your dog bark, growl, snap or lunge at other dogs while on a walk?
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.
What we cover:
- Why your dog is reactive
- Canine body language and how to understand what your dog is trying to communicate
- Management/emergency techniques
- Safe leash-handling skills
- Calm on-leash proximity to dogs (full greetings may not be within the scope of each group)
- How to safely navigate and continue to improve daily walks
What we include:
- 1 online class, enabling a low-stress introduction to new skills and knowledge
- 12 in person classes held outdoors at varied locations (2 classes a week for 6 weeks)
- Access to 3 certified trainers via group messaging service
- Small class sizes providing ample opportunity for individual attention and guidance
- Video and photo footage feedback
