This class is designed to help owners of reactive dogs learn better handling and management skills. The class is only open to dogs that had a behavioral evaluation and a training session. The Reactive Dog class is the next step in modifying your dog's behavior around other dogs and/or novel people. The Reactive Dog Class provides a controlled, safe environment where owners of reactive canines work on teaching their dogs alternative behaviors to the barking, growling and lunging at other dogs or people.

One of the main goals of the Reactive Dog class is to give the owners an opportunity to gain the confidence needed to teach their dogs how make better behavior choices.

⋅ Learn how to read your dog's body language
⋅ Learn how to watch for subtle cues that may mean your dog is anxious or nervous and is about to react by lunging, barking or growling
⋅ Learn how shape your dog's behavior to focus and work for you in a situation where the dog would normally react aggressively

The Reactive Dog class is a clicker training class. We use motivational, reward-based methods only. No choke chains, pinch collars, or any type of physical corrections will be used (or encouraged) in the Reactive Dog Class.

The Reactive Dog Class is limited to 6 dogs. The class runs for 6 weeks, from 7:00pm-8:15pm on Thursday evenings. The class cost is $300.
