Reactive Dog
From Reactive to Calm​
Next class starting October 11:
Sign up now!
​
A reactive dog exhibits a response, such as barking, lunging, and/or growling, when on the leash. Triggers can be other dogs, people, bikes, scooters, kids running, etco. These behaviors, although they may appear aggressive, are natural responses that may stem from underlying feelings of fear, anxiety, or frustration due to feeling threatened or overwhelmed. Managing this behavior involves recognizing specific triggers and employing techniques like creating physical distance from the stimulus and focussing on helping the dog calm down.
​
Our class is focussed on helping your dog calm down in an environment they struggle in. We start by focusing on behaviors to help your dog redirect their attention to you or away from the triggers. ​​
What We Specialize In
What We Specialize In
NoseWork
The dog's nose is an amazing organ. One of the senses most used by dogs. A dog can have up to 300 million olfactory receptors compared to the human's 5 million. The ability to distinguish scents and trace them back to their origin is an astonishing ability we humans do not have.
​
A dog that is sniffing is using their brain which means they are burning energy. It is the ultimate enrichment for any dog.
​
Our course is designed to meet the needs of the average family pet. The course is not intended to prepare dogs for competitions.
