How does it work?
Pricing & Registration
- To learn why reactive behaviors occur and how to predict them before they happen.
- To teach your dog how to disengage from distractions and focus on you.
- To build confidence to take the skills from a structured class setting into the real world.
- Enrich your learning experience with access to an online community of fellow dog owners and instructors.
- Each program is limited to four training teams to ensure personalized attention and runs for 8 weeks, combining both in person and online sessions.
- Humans attend in-person sessions weekly, while the dogs attend every other week. So, each week there are dogs training, each with a dedicated instructor.
- When your dog is not attending with you, you will be honing your observational skills by assisting the other teams with training.
- Between each in-person weekly session, you’ll continue to practice positive behavior change via an online lesson and homework assignment you can submit for personalized instructor feedback.

Our Happy Clients
My dog’s reactivity built over time where I became accustomed to the new limitations and accommodations. Having a reactive dog made most group classes impossible; my attempts over the past few years at putting the skills of online classes, reactivity books, and programs into practice yielded mixed results. Yet, after eight weeks this systematic process has given us real world results. This course truly changed both Darla and my emotional reactions to triggers. One week post class and Darla saw her two arch (dog) enemies, before I even did, and she turned, (Un-cued!) back to me for praise rather than her usual barking, lunging, pulling. The transformation was beyond any expectation. I wish I had made the commitment to in person training before. This class, even with my imperfect training commitment, changed our ability to go for walks.

Having a reactive dog is stressful, and I found that this 8-week structured program was really helpful. It got me back into a training mindset and helped strengthen my relationship with my dog, River. I learned lots of skills to use going forward. Highly recommend!
