Reactive dog club.
Does your dog react badly when they see another dog? Is your dog the one lunging and barking? Maybe their trigger is men or traffic ?
I know how exhausting it is living with a reactive dog.
Over the years I’ve come up with my own “lover not a fighter” protocol that works for the vast majority of reactive dogs (some dogs need a little extra help) but the vast majority of dogs can be helped by
– making sure they have no physical pain
– changing how we feed them
– making sure their biological, emotional and cognitive needs are met
– making sure our dogs feel safe with us by showing them that we will manage the environment so they don’t have to
– teaching excellent loose lead walking skills
– developing their focus on the handler
– teaching a rock solid “leave it”
– teaching a sustained nose touch and other useful behaviours
– counter conditioning to their trigger
With an online class every Wednesday evening at 7.00 and a twice weekly meet up (locations will vary) we can help you transform your walks from chaos to calm.
