Reactive Dog Program
Help for Reactive Dogs
For dogs who lunge, bark, pull, snap, snarl, or show fear and anxiety around other dogs on leash. A step-by-step path from a calm classroom to confident walks in the real world.
Reactive Rover 101
For dogs showing on-leash reactivity such as lunging, barking, pulling, snapping, snarling, or anxiety and fear around other dogs. We take only 5 dogs so everyone can learn and practice in a safe, controlled environment, with plenty of hands-on, step-by-step practice around different dogs.
We use positive reinforcement and behavior modification based on behavioral science to build new responses to the situations that make your dog overreact. You'll learn new ways of relating to your dog so they can handle challenging situations.
Before you start: every participant completes a questionnaire, and week one is a required people-only orientation.
