Our reactive dog class is designed to help dogs who exhibit reactive behavior towards people, other dogs, or have specific triggers. It aims to provide a supportive environment for both the dog and their handler, offering guidance, education, and practical training techniques to manage and improve the dog’s behavior. Taking that next step to neutrally socialize your dog can be intimidating due to uncontrolled factors in public spaces. With this group class, all owners are in the same boat and know to respect one another’s space. We will focus on how to bring training into the real world to help your dog feel more confident in situations that previously made them fearful or reactive.
