Training for Reactive Dogs
Professional Oxford, CT Dog Training For Reactive DogsReactive to Relaxed
Make Walks More Enjoyable
Reactive dogs will often bark, lunge and fixate on other dogs, people or objects during their walk. While frustrating and sometimes scary, there are ways to help your dog through this. That’s where we come in!
How It Works
Your trainer will assess your dog and develop a training plan meant just for them. They will cover all parts of dog reactivity and the skills you need for calmer walks. Goals will be set after your initial consultation.
After each session, our team will send you a writeup of everything we discussed so you have it to look over as you work with your pup. We will also outline some exercises to work on before your next session!
Who It's For
Our Reactive Dog Program is… well, intended for reactive dogs! If you’re unsure what you’re seeing is reactivity, schedule a free call and we can help decipher what your dog may be experiencing.
What You Will Learn
Lessons will focus on giving you the skills you need to prevent and handle a reaction while helping your dog change his physiological and emotional response the trigger.
All learning in all of our training programs is done via positive reinforcement. This means your dog will be rewarded for the correct and response and mistakes will simply be ignored. We will not use force, prong collars, choke collars or e-collars on your dog – guaranteed.
What's Included
Our Reactive Dog Program includes a consultation, 7 private one-on-one sessions (in-home and on location), a clicker, a treat bag and all sorts of additional resources including video, PDFsa nd more. Additional clickers, treat bags and our favorite training harnesses are available for purchase here.
Thorough write ups and resources will be provided for you after each session!
Piper’s mom says…
