The Reactivity Program is designed for dogs who bark, growl, lunge, become very fearful, or otherwise over-react to other dogs. Whether your dog does this with every dog they see, or only in specific scenarios, this program is designed for your dog!
The Reactivity Program consists of the Intro Lesson followed by the Coaching Track or Pro Daytrain Track.
This program is designed for lasting change, which means creating a solid foundation of enrichment (meeting your dog's physical, mental, social, and health needs) and then adding on counter-conditioning and desensitization. The program also focus heavily on teaching the dog to make those choices so you, as the human, won't have to micromanage forever.

Reactivity Program
Please note that this program is not for inter-household conflict, dogs who are reactive to humans, or if your dog is over-reacting to prey animals. If you are not sure if your dog fits into these slots (for example, maybe your dog is wary of new people, but not actually reactive towards them), please contact me so we can see if this program is right for you and your dog!
