Our reactivity training program helps you decrease your dog’s lunging, growling, and barking behaviors by teaching new skills to help them relax, cope with their triggers, and experience joy in their environment.
Many dogs lunge, growl, or bark at other dogs, people, or objects in their environment when they are scared or frustrated. In our reactivity training program, you’ll learn how to use positive training methods to help them feel more positively about the things that trigger them, relax their bodies and brains, and return to or discover the activities they enjoy!
