“Reactivity” is a nebulous term. What do we even mean?! To us, reactivity is an exaggerated reaction to an everyday stimulus, hence “big feelings”. These feelings can be positive or negative but the behavior looks the same; screaming, barking, lunging at the stimulus (e.g. people, dogs, bikes etc).

Havin a reactive dog can be an isolating, frustrating and exhausting life. This course is designed to help you and your dog learn all the skills your team needs to cope with all of their big feelings.

We draw from Control Unleashed, BAT, and other positive reinforcement based techniques. You cannot punish your dog out of their big feelings. We will never set your dog up to display reactivity or correct them for doing so. Our goal is to build your confidence in managing your dog but also building confidence in your dog so that they can feel safe in day to day life. That means setting everyone up for success.
